There is now good reason to believe that Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) may not have to stay in the cage with Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) much longer, after the mid-season premiere of "Supernatural" this month.

The show will return from its holiday hiatus with Episode 10, titled "The Devil in the Details," according to Spoilers Guide.

For those who have been missing their favorite Winchester brothers, the wait is almost over. Especially given that the last episode was a cliffhanger to say the least.

With Sam currently stuck in the cage with Lucifer, there is only one way out, and it is not by breaking through the bars. Lucifer has a few tricks up his sleeve. Apparently torturing Sam is not on his to-do list, at least not at the moment.

While the devil of legend has pulled many tricks on unsuspecting victims in his storied history, he is about to put a great one over on Sam. As it turns out, there is indeed a way out of the cage. But Luci himself is the only one who knows it. In order for Sam to make his way back home, he is going to have to make a deal with the devil.

While this situation sounds like something he has already had to contend with before, this time it is going to be a bit more complicated. If he takes the deal, there is no backing out. If he even tries to back out, there will be a steep price to pay.

Elsewhere in the episode, Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Castiel (MIsha Collins) try to figure out if Amara (Emily Swallow) was actually killed after being smited by the angel. Fans should realize that even though Amara is the Darkness, the human form could be killed and the Darkness could still live on.

Either way, fans are going to be in for a real treat, as evidenced in the teaser trailer below.

"Supernatural" Season 11 Episode 10 airs on The CW on Monday, Jan. 20 at 8 p.m. ET.
