Chpt9 Ep16: "Do You Believe in Miracles?" is an episode in the series Power Rangers: Omniverse

Plot
The episode begins just moments after Kurt attacked Gadreel with The First Blade. Hunter and Castiel are holding a feral Kurt back from Gadreel who is slumped to the floor bleeding out from the slash-wound inflicted on him. Kurt wrangles out of the duo's grasp and stands to face Hunter who is blocking his way.

Hunter

Drop the blade, Kurt!

Kurt

Move!

Hunter

No, Kurt!

Kurt

Hunter, MOVE! [Castiel jumps Kurt from the side and Hunter leaps in to grab Kurt's right arm and the blade.] Aah, no!

Hunter [trying to wrestle the blade out of his brother's grasp]

Just let it go, Kurt! Let it go!

Later, now in the bunker's dungeon, Hunter and Castiel shove Kurt inside and stand between him and the entrance.

Kurt

Get the hell out of my way!

Hunter

Look, something is wrong with you, Kurt. And until we figure out what, this is where you have to stay.

Kurt

And you two are gonna do what? Take on Metatron yourselves? That's smart. Oh, no, wait. No, you -- [pointing to Cas] you lost your angel army. And now you, -- [points to Hunter] you're locking up the one guy who has a shot at killing that son of a bitch! Hell of a plan, fellas!

In silence, Hunter and Castiel turn and push the doors shut, locking Kurt inside. Kurt calls after them but ignores his demand.

The duo heads back to the main hall to store the First Blade in a locked case and at the same time, discovers that Gadreel has now disappeared after leaving behind a trail of blood from his wound. They then head out to go find him.

As Kurt is in the dungeon, he's shown to be throwing up on the floor and coughing horribly. He finally recovers just a little and walks over to a small mirror in a nearby cabinet. He sees that his mouth is covered in blood that he's has been coughing up to.

In Heaven, Metatron is writing on his typewriter finishing up the last page of "his story". He has one of his angels set up a new angel radio, in which, an actual broadcasting device, one that manages to reach out to every known existing angel and announces on it that he will be closing the Gates of Heaven temporarily to tend to some business on Earth. He then leaves his office, "to tell the last part of the story".

Later, Hunter and Castiel eventually finds Gadreel, having to not gone too far. He's still collapsed from his wound and begs for his life.

Castiel [reaching out to heal him]

We're not here to hurt you.

Gadreel

No. Your Grace. Healing me will only weaken you.

[Castiel doesn't hesitant and proceeds to heal Gadreel's wound. Castiel shows to stumble for a second]

Gadreel

Did you hear him?

Castiel

Metatron. Yes. Where is he going? What does he want?

Gadreel

I'm afraid...humanity.

Meanwhile, Crowley is having a massage done by one of his demon servants. And goes on to brag how he "defeated" Abaddon all on his own. He is then interrupted by a summoning from Kurt back at the Men of Letters dungeon.

Crowley

What could it ever be this time?

Kurt [looking frantic]

What the hell's happening to me, you son of a bitch?

Crowley

Liquor before beer, bad taco? How should I know?

Kurt

I can't shut it off!

Crowley

What do you mean?

Kurt

I-- ever since I killed Abaddon, it's -- it's like this whole...other thing! I get this sense that I-I need to kill. I mean, I really, REALLY need to kill! And if I don't --

Crowley

You yak your guts out. It's the Mark.

Kurt

Meaning?

Crowley

It wants you to kill. The more you kill, the better you feel. The less you kill, the less better you feel.

Kurt

How much less better?

Crowley

One would imagine...the least-best better.

Kurt

So...dead? But Cain had the Mark and held onto it ever since--

Crowley

Cain was a demon. Your body's not strong enough to contain the Mark's power.

Kurt [his eye betraying his fear]

What if I got rid of it?

Crowley

You want to get rid of it?

Kurt [getting himself back in control]

I--- what I want now is Metatron dead.

Crowley

Go on.

Kurt

But I have to get through that door to get the Blade. And you're gonna help me.

Later, Hunter, Castiel and Gadreel return to the bunker. Hunter then spots the case where the blade was stored in, being layed open on the table.

Hunter [rushing]

Oh, no.

Hunter then tries to contact Kurt but doesn't answer.

Hunter

Damn it. Kurt is gone with the blade. How could he even gotten out?

Castiel

You think it was Crowley?

Hunter

[scoffs] Who else could it be that freed him? I mean, he and Crowley have been bromancing over the Blade ever since Kurt got the Mark.

Gadreel

The Mark?

Castiel

The Mark of Cain.

Gadreel

So that's what Kurt cut me with -- the First Blade. In a way, that could be useful.

Hunter

What?

Gadreel

Well, Metatron is more powerful than ever, but if Kurt has the First Blade and the Mark, that might give us an edge against Metatron.

Hunter

You're joking, right? An hour ago, we were ready to throw Kurt into a padded cell, and now you're saying he's our best chance against Metatron?

Castiel

Hear him out, Hunter.

Hunter

Oh, right. Excuse me. Sorry, guys. Uh, sorry I'm a little less than eager to hear that our best chance is -- is arming the warhead and hoping it hits the mark. This is not a bomb we're talking about. This is my brother!

Gadreel

And your brother would not be alone in this. Together we can help him defeat Metatron.

Hunter

How?

Gadreel

I believe Metatron has found a way to tap into the Angel tablet, harnessing its power to give him divine powers equivalent to --

Hunter

"God", right? I mean, that's what this is all about, isn't it? Metatron wants to be the new God?

[Gadreel nods]

Hunter

Great, well, that basically makes him unstoppable.

Castiel

Not if we can break the connection between Metatron and the tablet. That would make him just an ordinary angel again.

Gadreel

That is possible.

Castiel

Where's the tablet now?

Gadreel

Somewhere in Heaven. I can get us through the gates.

Hunter

And then what? I mean, why would they let you in? If "Metatron's number two" shows up with "Heaven's most wanted", the jig is up.

Castiel

Hunter, we have to try. Otherwise, there won't be anyone else to stop him.

Meanwhile, Metatron is now on Earth, and performing random miracles in front of crowds to make a name for himself. Where one incident, a woman is hit by a car after a few patrons witnessing it. However, Metatron, disguised as a beggar, goes up to the deceased woman and brings her back to life as the crowd of people are astonished by this.

Later, he heads to a nearby a homeless camp, where Metatron heals a man of his diabetes. Another angel appears, who blames Metatron for the fall of Heaven and tries to reveal Metatron's true identity, but Metatron's new followers believe he is the new Messiah, and goes to attack and gang up on the accusing angel. Metatron drops his angel blade so that his new found follows can stab the angel, killing him. Metatron exclaims that now he's finally able to make humanity love him after all.
