"Alpha and Omega" is the twenty-third episode and season finale of the paranormal drama television series Supernatural's season 11, and the 241st overall. The episode was written by co-executive producer Andrew Dabb and directed by executive producer Phil Sgriccia. It was first broadcast on May 25, 2016, on The CW. In the episode, God is severely wounded while Amara is now going ahead with her plans to destroy the world while Sam and Dean have a last chance to stop her. The episode is the last episode in the tenure of showrunner Jeremy Carver as he departed the show at the conclusion of the season, being replaced by Andrew Dabb and Robert Singer in the role of showrunners. The episode also introduces Elizabeth Blackmore as Lady Antonia Bevell, who was announced to have a recurring role in the show's twelfth season.
While the season finale received positive reviews, it received less acclaim than the previous season finales, mostly for the way Amara's arc was ended.
Dean (Jensen Ackles) checks on Lucifer (Misha Collins), turning out that Castiel retained his body back. Sam (Jared Padalecki) then checks on God (Rob Benedict), who is severely wounded. Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) and Rowena (Ruth Connell) appear where they take them outside to discover that the sky is turning red as the sun is dying.
God transports them back to the bunker, where Dean decides to spend the last moments drinking beer. In London, Lady Antonia "Toni" Bevell (Elizabeth Blackmore) is notified by someone about the recent events, where she is revealed to have been looking for Sam and Dean. Back in the bunker, Sam proposes that they kill Amara (Emily Swallow) as the only way to bring balance to the universe as God is dying. God reveals that a powerful supernova may be enough to kill her. As He's dying and the Book of the Damned can't cast a spell like that, Castiel proposes that the souls of humans may be enough to make it happen. They also use ghosts from the Waverly Hills Sanatorium, pulling them into a crystal to form a bomb.
