Metatron suggests that he's starting from plot - because he has a specific end-point that he needs to get to, and he needs everyone to play their part in order to get there. THE PROBELM is that Metatron did not draft his characters - God did, or maybe it was the chaotic unfeeling universe, or maybe it was a mixture of the two. All Metatron can do is try to select characters that he THINKS he knows and then manipulate them into doing his bidding - but he can't redraft them, so in his case, the characters WILL surprise him, and that inevitably means that his plot might get foiled.
Thank you for this explanation! Because it made me crazy trying to figure out how Metatron could be writing the story and then be surprised!
The corduroy jacket that Sam wears for nearly all of this episode is the same jacket that he first wore the FIRST time he was ever possessed (Meg, S2).
How is it possible Jared still fits into it???
Appreciate you analysis of the question re: Gabriel--real or Metatron's creation? And I agree with your conclusion, we deliberately were not given enough info to make a definite conclusion.
