EPISODES:

5.19 Hammer of the Gods

Kali organizes a meeting with other deities at the Elysian Fields Hotel. Dean first met her in the buffet area and attempted to hit on her, to which Kali instantly declines. She had Mercury gather blood from both Sam and Dean, so that their souls would be bound to her by her blood spell, which in effect, doesn't allow them to escape. Kali suggests, during the meeting, that they take violent actions towards the archangels. Kali also obtained blood from Gabriel's vessel and bound him to her as well.

She later kills Gabriel to show the remaining gods that with an archangel sword, the gods can ultimately kill Lucifer. Unknowing to her, Gabriel's sword was a fake, and Mercury would betray the rest of the gods and sell them out to Lucifer. Lucifer arrives and kills all the gods except Kali, who escaped with Sam and Dean, while Gabriel confronted Lucifer.
