The Plan Revealed
 | "Lucifer Rising" In the season 4 finale, it was revealed that Azazel has been working on a plan to free Lucifer for more than 35 years, thus rewriting the entire mythology of the series. Here we examine all of the parts of his plan while trying to understand his true motives. "St. Mary's Convent - 1972" In 1972, Azazel possessed a priest at St. Mary's Convent in Maryland after learning that it was the location of Lucifer's cage. |
 | "Making deals" After Azazel learns what he must do, he goes around making deals with women like Mary Winchester to let them have access to their eventual children. |
| "Blood in the mouth" As payment for the deal Mary Winchester made, Azazel visited babies like Sam and spilled some of his demon blood into their mouths. Now we know this was part of a long-term plan to prepare one of these special children for the task of killing Lilith. | |
 | "The special children" To help free Lucifer, Azazel is told that he will need to find special children. These will help in the ultimate plan of freeing Lilith to allow her to break the final seal. |
 | "Killing Jessica" Sam tried to live his own life, but Azazel knew Sam was inportant to freeing and killing Lilith to help break the final seal, so Azazel killed Sam's girlfriend Jessica just like he did with Sam's mom in order to bring him back into the world of hunting. |
 | "Trying to steal the Colt" Throughout the first season Azazel tried to steal the Colt, not just because it could kill him, but because it was the key to unlocking the gate to Hell Lilith was trapped under. |
 | "John goes to Hell" Azazel uses Dean's death to strike a deal with John Winchester to send him to Hell to save Dean's life. This accomplishes several goals. The first is getting the Colt, the second is inspiring Dean with the notion of sacrifice which will ultimately help send Sam over the edge. |
 | "The contest" To help find someone to open the Devil's Gate, Azazel gathered his special children to put them against one another. The second part of this contest was to figure out which special child would be strong enough to help him achieve the ultimate goal of killing Lilith. |
 | "Killing Sam" Sam's death was beneficial because it helped make him more willing to go over to the dark side and do what it takes to win. It also allowed a deal to be made with Dean. |
 | "Dean's deal" To bring Sam back to life, Dean agreed to make a deal to go to Hell in exchange for bringing his brother back. This may have been a part of Azazel's plan because. if he knew the attempt to have john break the first seal in Hell failed, this gave him another way to break the first seal and further push Sam to the ark side by having him blame himself for Dean going to Hell. |
 | "Opening the Devil's Gate" Though Azazel claimed Sam was his favorite, Jake killed him, which turned out to be the best possible scenario. Jake then opened the Devil's Gate using the Colt. "Freeing Lilith" Finally Azazel achieved the first step in his plan to free his father by getting the Devil's Gate to open freeing the demons inside, including Lilith. |
 | "Dean goes to Hell" After one year, Dean was sent to Hell, achieving the dual purpose of helping to break the first seal and pushing Sam deeper into Ruby's arms. |
| "The first seal" While in Hell, Dean couldn't do what his father did, agreeing to come down and torture souls rather than to be tortured himself. Alastair later revealed this was the first seal to be broken. It was conceivably set into motion when Azazel sent John to Hell, not only trying to break the first seal, but also putting the notion of sacrificing your soul for you family into Dean's head. In addition, sending John to Hell was part of the plan to try and break the first seal by having Alastair tempt John to torture innocent souls. However, this attempt failed. | |
 | "Drinking demon blood" After gaining Sam's trust following Dean's death, Ruby convinces Sam to drink her blood to help him gain strength to defeat Lilith. |
| "Breaking the 66 seals" Also during the fourth season, the angel's inform Dean that Lilith is attempting to break the 66 seals, individual goals that help to unlock the cage Lucifer is trapped in. Excluding the first seal Dean broke in Hell and the final one in the last episode. | |
 | "St. Mary's Convent - present" The final seal can only be broken at a specific place on a specific night, and that place is the same place where Lucifer is trapped. |
| "The final seal" By 'whispering' through the cracks in his cage, Lucifer revealed that in order to be freed, the 66 seals must be broken, but Lilith is the only one who can break the final seal. However, Azazel points out that Lilith is trapped somewhere. Ruby revealed to Sam that Lilith is the only one who can break the final seal because she was the first demon Lucifer ever created, the original demon on Earth. This explains why Azazel went to so much trouble to free her. What Ruby didn't tell Sam was that Lilith is the only one who can break it because her death is the final seal. | |
 | "Killing Lilith" though Dean tries to stop him, Ruby has guided Sam along and in the final episode, Sam successfully used his demonic powers to kill Lilith and break the final seal, mirroring the way his brother was unwittingly responsible for breaking the the first seal. |
 | "Ruby's lies" In the final episode, Ruby revealed that she was secretly working with Lilith all along. Her entire relationship with Sam was a way to earn his trust, get him to drink demon blood, and push him into killing Lilith. |
 | "Lucifer rising" As the season 4 finale came to a close, Lilith's blood formed a circle and opened the cage Lucifer was trapped in. A bright white light shined up as Sam and Dean looked on at Lucifer's rising. This only happened because Azazel made deals to collect the special children and steal the Colt to open the Devil's Gate to free Lilith so she could break the seals and die to free Lucifer. |

If it took Yellow Eyes 35 years to get the job done, imagine how long it took him to think the whole thing up.
