If only we could redo the dialog in certain spots with Dean's words in response to Mary saying she knew what they went through to get to her no she doesn't and everything that you wrote about how Jack gets told the truth about Lucifer, specifically what he did to Sam there were so many places the truth could have been told by various people...and of course everyone stands around while the rift is closing--proximity to the rift causes dumbness, it happened in the Wayward Sisters episode too, in the other AU AU...You hit the nail on the head with the comment about the show falling into soap opera territory because of no one being capable of straight talk (or checking in on the traumatized, most vulnerable super-powered adolescent...)

Aargh!

The only moment that makes this episode re-watchable is Sam checking Lucifer at the rift. I cheered.

And then felt my heart sink as I watched the end set up what Sam did coming back to bite everyone in the butt.

I have a strong feeling that I will need your review, no matter how late it is, to pull me back from the brink after the finale...
