"We Happy Few" is the twenty-second episode of the paranormal drama television series Supernatural's season 11, and the 240th overall. The episode was written by co-executive producers Robert Berens and directed by John Badham. It was first broadcast on May 18, 2016 on The CW. In the episode, God assembles a team of angels, demons and witches in an attempt to lock Amara away using the Mark of Cain to be transferred to Sam.
The episode received positive reviews, with critics praising the show's unexpected cliffhanger.
Lucifer (Misha Collins) is mad at God (Rob Benedict) for having punished him as well as having trusted the Mark of Cain in him and refuses to speak to Him. Meanwhile, Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) summons a meeting between demons but they refuse to go along with his plans to retake Hell because of his previous incidents.
Rowena (Ruth Connell) arrives with a witch, Clea (Barbara Eve Harris) to carry on a spell. She reluctantly agrees as previous spells have killed many witches. Lucifer and God talk where God admits that He trusted the Mark of Cain to him because he was His favorite son. When that was proven wrong, God was angry at Himself, confessing that was part of the reason He banished Lucifer along with protecting humanity and this causes them to make amends.
However, God states that He can't kill Amara, because it would cause "the end of reality". They decide that they need all angels to try to stop her but Michael is not able to fight and God does not have enough time to revive Gabriel and Raphael. Castiel temporally retains his body and goes back to Heaven to convince the angels to join them, and Dean goes to Crowley for help while Sam interrupts Rowena and Clea to get them on board. Rowena and Clea agree to use their coven for help. God then states that they will return Amara back to retain the Mark of Cain and that Sam agreed to be the carrier of the Mark, worrying Dean that Sam may repeat his behavior when he carried it.
After Amara eats Donatello's (Keith Szarabajka) soul, Rowena guides Amara to the bunker and confronts her. She uses the combined power of the coven to harm her but is not powerful enough to defeat her. Amara kills the coven and knock Rowena out. Crowley then invokes demons to attack Amara, which injures her. She enters the bunker, where Lucifer impales her with an angelic spear. She then gets God to admit part of the reason He created things was to rule over them, and He hated how they were equals. God begins to replace the Mark, which is passing over to Sam. However, Amara resists, refusing to go back to being locked away and attacks God, fatally injuring him. When Lucifer tries to intervene, Amara yanks him from Castiel, leaving his fate unknown.
