Supernatural season 9, episode 11 “First Born” airs tonight, featuring Psych favorite Tim Omundson as Cain.
The Road So Far
Dean teamed up with Castiel and Crowley to catch Gadreel and remove him from Sam. When Gadreel refused to vacate his vessel and Crowley’s attempts to hijack Gadreel’s programming failed, Crowley possessed Sam in order to convince him to eject his angelic hitchhiker.
Sam did and Gadreel returned to his original vessel, while Crowley was allowed to go free. Dean, feeling guilty, decided to hunt Gadreel on his own, leaving Castiel and Sam behind.
Meanwhile, Abaddon continued on the warpath and confronted Crowley, only to discover that most demons are simply waiting for one of the two to come out on top in the contest for Hell. The campaign is on.

‘Supernatural’ season 9, episode 11 ‘First Born’ synopsis
If that promo has whet your appetite, make sure to read the official synopsis for the mid-season premiere:
TIM OMUNDSON (“PSYCH”) GUEST STARS AS CAIN — Looking to reclaim his place as King of Hell, Crowley (Mark Sheppard) asks Dean (Jensen Ackles) for help finding “The First Blade,” the only blade that can kill Abbadon (guest star Alaina Huffman). Knowing he owes Crowley a favor for helping Sam (Jared Padalecki), and also wanting Abaddon dead himself, Dean reluctantly agrees and the two set off on a road trip. However, Dean and Crowley are completely unprepared when they find out who has the blade — Cain (guest star Omundson), the first son. Meanwhile, Sam is back at the bunker with Castiel (Misha Collins) who notices there is some leftover grace inside Sam. If they can extract it, they can use the grace to track Gadreel. The only problem is the procedure may do permanent damage to Sam. John Badham directed the episode written by Robbie Thompson (911).
