Like the White-Winged Dove and Waiting for the end of the World. Also, Vessel becomes relevant.
Faith has a slayer dream which sends her on a reluctant journey to her old territory, on a quest to save a new ally.
Spoilers through SPN 4.10 "Heaven and Hell," incorporates world-building details revealed since.
Previous parts are here.
Faith has a spasm of fear that the hand-drawn mark's limited mojo has been exhausted or that Lucifer's sword has power that even the demons' sigil can't overcome. But Muriel's eyes are fixed on Castiel, and she flashes on his intent. As he hurls the sword like fuckin' Zeus with a fuckin' lightning bolt, Faith lunges across its trajectory.
"Faith, no!" Castiel shouts.
Even as she is airborne, she expects to be pierced through but the blade veers off its course as if there's a force field surrounding her. It flies over the railing and clatters to the level below.
Faith hits the catwalk and railing post hard enough to wind her. She twists to see where the sword has fallen and finds herself staring down into something that looks like a giant demon's mouth, with rows upon rows of teeth in ivory, red and blue. It's an organ, she realizes -- or some Frankensteinian parody of one, with a pair of old TV screens in among all the keys. The sword lies cocked on top of a crazily tilted TV.
Dean leans over the railing, shouting for Sam and Bobby, glass shards glittering in his hair and on his skin. He points down at the organ.
Before Faith has regained her breath, Muriel has scrambled to his feet, barreling past her and Dean to seize Castiel and cast him over the railing, down into the teeth of the organ's maw.
An instant later, he flings himself over the railing after Castiel.
Faith draws in a hitching breath and throws herself after them.
