List of episodes

"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.[1] The episode also introduces Elizabeth Blackmore as Lady Antonia "Toni" Bevell, who was announced to have a recurring role in the show's twelfth season.[2]

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.
