Below are clips from “Abandon All Hope…,” the “Supernatural” episode that airs Nov. 19. My weekly “Supernatural” recaps and stories can be found here.

“Abandon All Hope” is the final episode of 2009. After a two-month break, Season 5 resumes Jan. 14, 2010.

An episode summary is also below. Pictures from the episode, which was written by Ben Edlund, are on this post. Beware: The photos give away spoilers about guest stars for the episode, and regarding what’s below, oh yes, spoilers ahoy.

Here’s an “Abandon All Hope…” episode summary from the CW: “Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Castiel (Misha Collins) track down the Colt and head off to find Lucifer (guest star Mark Pellegrino) to send him back to Hell.  It’s a hunter’s reunion when the crew joins forces with Bobby (guest star Jim Beaver), Ellen (guest star Samantha Ferris) and Jo (guest star Alona Tal) for what could be their last night on Earth.  Also guest starring Mark Sheppard as ‘Crowley’ and Rachel Miner as ‘Meg.’ ” “Abandon All Hope…” was written by Ben Edlund and directed by Phil Sgriccia.

And hey, here’s a bit of a personal update: I’d mentioned an ill family member — thanks for all your kind words and thoughts! They did the trick, I think. That situation (as of Friday night) seems to be improving, thank goodness. So there’s about an 80 percent chance that I will be at the “Supernatural” convention in Chicago on Saturday, mostly during the afternoon (probably between about noon and 5:30 p.m.). I’ll be tweeting from there and also, if you see me and want to say hello, please do. I’m very tall and have red hair and look somewhat like the picture at the top of this column. Hope to see you then!
