Look, I haven’t seen so many episodes but am I correct here? One episode ago Lucifer told Sam that he’d redeem himself for his pesky moments of independent thought if he’d stay with Lucifer forever and in the last episode, Sam apologized for his pesky moments of independent thought and Dean said it’s fine because what really matters is that they’re together forever?
Like is this what happened here?
Because if so, that is BLATANT.Seriously blatant. And this is just one episode after the mid-season finale, when Sam was lured back into the cage because ~it’s what I’m supposed to do and ~he made me feel at peace. Like……?????
mmMMM!
hopefully this also means sam gets to escape this cage as well with a resounding no. and the manipulation is so insidious, and so precise: berating sam for not doing/being something and then acting surprised when sam reveals himself resigned to the life/fate that he has been browbeaten into.
i think of the last conversation in 11.11 with that scene in 10.23 and i want to vomit.
Interesting thought, particularly since he’s still being surrounded by cage imagery.
