Cas Gets a Day Job and Dean Panics in Supernatural’s “Heaven Can’t Wait”
Welcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor are diving into Season 9, Episode 6, “Heaven Can’t Wait”—the one where a newly human Castiel is living his best (and most mundane) life working a gas station convenience store while a mysterious force starts erasing people in town. You’re watching the episode alongside them and building a drinking game out of every Dean piece of advice, every Kevin sighting, and every flash of pink mist along the way.
The conversation leans into what makes this episode memorable despite its quieter monster-of-the-week energy—namely, Cas bumbling through human existence one swizzle stick at a time. Krissy and Nate dig into the character logic of an angel learning to high-five, the fun continuity threads around the Ezekiel situation, and why cues like “Cas gets asked out on a date” and “Dean spies on Castiel” hit differently when you’re playing along with a drink in hand.
Tune in, cue up the episode, and find out whether “Heaven Can’t Wait” earns its bowls of blood. These notes stay at the premise level, but the audio discussion contains spoilers—watch first if you want to go in fresh.

If you were designing a drinking cue for Cas’s gas station era, what moment from “Heaven Can’t Wait” would you make the big finish-your-drink rule?
