I feel like there's something I'm not catching onto in that scene, but it's right at the back of my head. Would you explain it to me, please?
I’m actually just guessing, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense— Lucifer. Coming to bring the Apocalypse and make it paradise on Earth for demons— or at least, that’s what they thought would happen if Lucifer won the battle, right?
I don’t really know, bro— but like, the whole “I’ve been praying for it. Forever,” thing is a giveaway for me??? But like. Why else would Sam be in Hell unless he’s being possessed by Satan— their savior, come to free them and bring them what he promised? All of Hell seemed to know of Sam and Dean’s destinies as vessels, so.
I feel like I missed it because it was a pretty fast-moving episode, but seeing the scene out of context kind of slapped me across the face with it.
But like, it hurts because of how Sam’s going to be pinned to Lucifer and the Apocalypse for the rest of his life, no matter how hard he tries to hide from it and run away from it. He’s still fighting the whole, “we’re so alike, Sam,” bit that Lucifer fed him time and time again in season five, and I’m sure was shoved down his throat in the Cage. “I’m not him,” it also a dead giveaway for me.
