Sam realizes, somewhere around the twentieth time that his body's been turned inside out and Lucifer's playing the strings of his entrails like something out of a fucked-up Hieronymous Bosch painting, that there's no getting out. There is only the Cage, the lessons that Satan has determined to reveal to him, and his own resolve not to give him the satisfaction of breaking beneath them.

An alternate ending after Swan Song, in which Cas pulls Sam from the Cage with his soul intact.
