'Supernatural' has highlighted a number of one-off episodes in recent weeks, somewhat spinning its wheels with regard to the angel and demon tables and Castiel's mysterious new angel benefactors. That all changes with March 20 return episode "Goodbye Stranger," which will reintroduced the angelic Castiel and the demonic Crowley back into the mix, as well as a long-absent Meg (Rachel Miner)! The Winchester boys will certainly have their hands full, but how would you like to see a sneak peek gallery of "Goodbye Stranger" right now?

Newly guaranteed for a ninth year, 'Supernatural' season 8 will soon kick into high gear in the race for the respective angel and demon tablets, as both Crowley (Mark Sheppard) and Castiel (Misha Collins) put in return appearances for the March 20 episode "Goodbye Stranger." Rachel Miner's (now-blonde) Meg will also re-enter the fray, not having been seen since last season, but what brings the "unholy trinity" back into the Winchesters' orbit?

From The CW's official description:

SAM, DEAN, CASTIEL AND MEG TEAM UP AGAINST CROWLEY AND HIS DEMONS — Castiel reappears in Sam and Dean’s life and tells them Crowley has unleashed several demons into a small town. The demons are looking for Lucifer’s Crypt, which holds a valuable asset, but Castiel lies to Sam and Dean about what it is. While interrogating a demon, the three discover Crowley has been torturing Meg, who knows the exact location of the crypt. Sam and Meg fight to hold Crowley off while Dean and Castiel go in search of the crypt.

So, will Lucifer's Crypt contain one of the missing tablets, or send the Winchesters on a wild goose chase? Will Meg survive her latest appearance, given the brushes with death she's been having for years now? Check out the photos from 'Supernatural's March 20 return "Goodbye Stranger" below, and give us your predictions in the comments!
