Talk about a cliffhanger!! A great season finale, couldn't ask for more.

"Superb"
We pick up right where we left off after Salvation, Meg has John and has Dean thinking he's dead, but he doesn't tell Sam that, he just gets him out of town before the demons get to them. After failing to kill the demon (YED) and with only 3 bullets left and no plan, they obviously need help, so they turn to Bobby, an old friend of John's who's been at odds with him, but he's definitely ready to help get him back, after all no matter what their differences were they're still friends and he cares about John and his boys. Meg finally finds them, but they're ready for her, actually they were counting on her finding them, they trap her in a "Devil's Trap", a protective circle that renders the demon powerless, they exorcise the demon after a lot of back and forth in which she finally admits that John is still alive and tells them where to find him, but she can only give them the name of the city, and she doesn't know where the yellow-eyed demon is. After the exorcism is over and with the demon sent back to hell, Meg, the human Meg is free and she's still alive despite her broken body (she took a 7 story swan-dive back in Shadow) she thanks the boys, she's been possessed for a year, trapped in her own body, and then she dies right after she gives them an additional piece of information: on the river, sunrise
I probably shouldn't tell the whole story here, so long story short, they find John, take him to safety, turns out YED is possessing him, he tortures the boys, Sam finally pulls the gun on him but he can't muster the courage to shoot the demon killing his father in the process so he shoots him in the leg, that doesn't kill him, he gets away and they're back at square one, they need to find it again, with only one bullet left in the colt, that's when the car, with all three Winchesters inside, gets hit by a truck (the guy driving it is possessed)
It was a great episode, well written, well acted. And again Sam and John are only after revenge while Dean is all about keeping the family together, he refuses to believe that his dad is dead, and he gets him back, he saves Sam, and then he gets tortured by YED for all his trouble, poor guy got the short end of that stick! Possessed!John was eerie, JDM set the bar for any future YED meat-suits, he's amazing. Seems like that's the last we'll see of Meg (not really), kudos to Nicki she knocked it out of the park. It won't be the last we'll see of Bobby though, he's about to become the most coveted recurring character on TV.
What's going to happen to the three Winchester men? Could it be the end for one of them? All of them? The Impala certainly seems a goner! And in the greater scheme of things, what did YED mean when he talked about his plans for Sam and all the children like him? What are those plans, who are these children and how are they all connected?
