![]() They just had to use more mundane forms of location. In-Universe: by that time, the angels (and demons) had had a lot of time to practice tracking down Sam/Dean despite Castiel's protection. By that time, the novelty of Castiel having to find the brothers by normal means (and having Dean hang up on him mid-sentence) had worn off, so the writers just skipped right to the part where Balthazar finds them. Out-of-universe: This may be a small plot hole in that episode, but is IMO justified. The proximity to spellcasting resources was probably just an added bonus. Therefore, we know that he was looking for Sam & Dean specifically. His original plan had been to send Sam & Dean to the alternate reality all along. But, this seems less likely later on when we learn. When I originally saw him gathering ingredients, I thought he might have gone to Bobby's because that is one of the few places on Earth that might have so many such things in close proximity. Still, this does not answer the first appearance of Balthazar in this episode. Castiel and Balthazar could have been monitoring Raphael, knowing that he would eventually have to summon his servant back. ![]() ![]() Virgil may have been able to follow some sort of residual trail left by Balthazar's portal, to arrive at the same location the brothers did in the alternate universe.I should note that I've got theories for the latter two, but I still cannot think of anything to explain the first. Is there any good explanation for all of this? There may be other, similar incidents I either haven't witnessed or thought of. Castiel and Balthazar find the brothers rather quickly after their return to reality.Virgil follows the brothers to the alternate universe.Balthazar appears uncalled to the brothers, in Bobby's house.However, this appears to be not true in S6E15. "They'll hide you from every angel in creation, including Lucifer." In S5E1, Castiel places Enochian sigils on Sam & Dean's ribs.
