We knew he was main character since season 5, but this scene cemented Crowley's status as a fan favorite.

Summary:

We all fell in love with Mark Sheppard's Crowley with his very first "Hello, boys," but in fact, the actor's journey on The CW's classic was a bumpy one. The future King of Hell was introduced back in season 5 (the one many fans consider the true finale of the show), and remained for seven seasons until suddenly bidding adieu in the end of season 12.

In season 10, the creators finally acknowledged the importance of Crowley for the story, and Sheppard was promoted to a series regular. However, Crowley as a character peaked in season 8 — and one particular scene serves not only as proof of that, but also as an acting lesson from a true master.

If we were to choose, it's simple — we wouldn't, because there is the final episode of season 8, titled Sacrifice.

The title already implies a huge tragedy, and Supernatural didn't let us down on this one — Sam Winchester did, in fact, make a sacrifice in order to close the gates of Hell by finishing the trials and turning Crowley into a human.
