"Form and Void" is the 2nd episode of the paranormal drama television series Supernatural's season 11, and the 220th overall. The episode was written by Andrew Dabb and directed by executive producer Phil Sgriccia. It was first broadcast on October 14, 2015 on The CW. In the episode, Dean takes Jenna to her grandmother's house with the baby Amara, unaware that she is the Darkness, whom Crowley is looking for so he can use her power. Meanwhile, Sam works on a cure for the virus while Castiel is tortured by angels for Metatron's whereabouts.
The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising Amara's new role as the antagonist.
In Superior, Nebraska, Sam (Jared Padalecki) captures an infected man as a way to find a cure for the virus. Meanwhile, Dean (Jensen Ackles) takes Jenna (Laci J. Mailey) and the baby to Cedar Rapids, Iowa at her grandmother's (Christine Willes) house. When her grandmother puts her on her bed, Amara shows signs of telekinesis.
When they discover this, Jenna's religious grandmother decides to call a preacher as she believes she's possessed. Dean is called by Jenna and is surprised when he discovers the preacher is none other than Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard). While Jenna tends to Amara, Amara consumes her soul, making her killing her grandmother.
In the hospital, Sam is visited by Billie (Lisa Berry), a reaper. She explains that after the Death's death, the reapers decided to stop reviving Sam and Dean and instead of sending them to Heaven or Hell when they die, they will be tossed into "the empty", where no one returns. Sam decides to pray to God for help in finding the cure and begins to receive clues from his memories in Lucifer's Cage.
Sam's condition begins worsening and in a last attempt to find a cure, finds a passage in the bible about the holy oil. He pours holy oil over his black veins, healing them. He then attracts the infected people to a ring of fire surrounded by holy oil, curing them. Dean and Crowley find Amara in the crib and realizing she has the Mark of Cain, discovers she's the Darkness. They then find Jenna, who tries to kill Dean and Crowley is forced to kill her. Crowley intends to use Amara for his purposes and when Dean goes to check on the baby, Amara and Crowley are gone.
Meanwhile, Castiel (Misha Collins) is being tortured by the angels Efram and Jonah to reveal Metatron's whereabouts. He is finally rescued by Hannah, who's currently in a male vessel (Lee Majdoub). However, Castiel correctly deduces that Hannah set everything from his torture to his rescue so she could get information from him. When Efram and Jonah return with a plan to break into his brain, Castiel (still in the rabid dog spell) kills Efram and Jonah but Hannah is stabbed and killed after protesting that they went too far.
Sam and Dean return to the bunker where they discover an injured Castiel, asking for help. Meanwhile, Amara is now in the form of a young girl (Gracyn Shinyei). She's found by Crowley, who offers her people to feed.
