So, I can admit when I am wrong, and I was wrong last week. I had predicted the return of Lucifer, and as much as I would have loved that to have been what happened, it wasn’t. I can’t shake the feeling he will return, but unfortunately it wasn’t in this episode. We were instead stuck with his vessel Nick. Nick was still focused on his mission to avenge his family. I can’t say I can blame him. However, he went too far in this episode when he tried to kill Mary.
But, in true Supernatural style, the guys got to Mary just in time to save her. Though they we able to save their mom, they still had to take care of the demon that Nick decided to summon. Or so they thought they did. I must say, it was quite satisfying to see Nick kill the demon in a sneak attack. Lucifer did rub off on him in a lot of ways so it was as close to seeing Lucifer return as I would get.
The big shock in this episode was seeing Dean’s true plan revealed. It seems as though his time with Michael may have finally broken him. He realized after talking with Billi his only solution for his situation with Michael was to sacrifice himself. He has to bury himself alive in a special made, spell protected, coffin. I can’t even begin to imagine how emotional Sam, Cas, and Jack are going to be now. I was pretty sad we didn’t get a chance to see either Cas or Jack in this episode. But, I am sure they will rejoin the guys soon.
It should be interesting to see how things will be developing for the rest of the season. This thing with Dean can either happen next week, or they can choose to build it up. I hope it happens sooner rather than later because I am sure it will be annoying to have it drawn it until the last episode of the season.
I would be lying if I said I didn’t get a little emotional when Dean told Sam his plan. Sam’s whole life Dean has been there practically raising him, so telling him he has plans to die, ouch. It was exceptionally sweet to see Dean confess he could never say bye to Sam. He knew he was the only one who could ever talk Dean out of sacrificing himself for the fate of the world. And I think hearing that was somewhat comforting to Sam.
I’m sure that Dean is going to be saved from this choice, but I can’t say I even have the slightest clue as to how. But, with all the connections Sam, Mary, Dean, and Cas have forged, I’m sure it will be something unexpected. For all we know, maybe this was all part of Billi’s plan. Maybe she knew the guys would need to be confronted with this crazy scenario in order to make the impossible happen and save the world in some other way. But, I guess we will have to keep waiting to find out.
