I feel like 13x23 Lucifer making Jack decide who lives could've been a cool concept if they'd actually gone through with it. Maybe after consuming Jack's grace, Lucifer is powerful enough to resurrect someone without their body to start with. Maybe he resurrects Kelly Kline; kidnaps her, Mary, and Jack; and forces Jack to choose which one gets to live or he'll kill them both.
Kelly is confused and terrified, begging Jack to save her. Mary is also terrified, but she tells Jack it's alright, she understands. Jack pleads with Lucifer to let them go, to kill him instead. He's beside himself, but Lucifer is unmoved. Lucifer starts counting down and in the last second, Jack blurts out Mary's name.
And we can still have Winchester ex machina in this scenario. I think this whole concept is more compelling if Mary and Kelly do both survive and Kelly has to process the fact that her son chose "a stranger" over her.

supernatural s13e23 let the good times roll (w. andrew dabb)
well, carry on my wayward son has lost pretty all of its emotional punch that it once had for me back in the early seasons.
the moment we see sam in front of the corkboard and "the ice caps are melting" i felt like i was going to combust. what is this nonsense. our-earth 101 catching them up to speed even though we're just here to regroup and arm up before a showdown with michael? and how long was the apocalypse apocalypsing over there? longer than it would have without the boys to stop it in 2010 or whatever? mortifying. i fast forwarded. i don't need the spn cliffs notes on awful things here too
you want to hear some nonsense? i was sort of looking forward to yesterday's episode. i don't know why. well, it disabused me of that notion right quick.
why are we on some rando werewolf hunt
man mary is beautiful. and sure, she and bobby get umbrellas
MARY
So what are you gonna do now?
BOBBY
Honestly, I got no clue. Everyone seems to be settling in okay in town. Ketch is out doing Ketch things. Rowena and Charlie are road tripping it through the Southwest.
i get that it's for production reasons they're not gonna have the whole cast around but hokay.
BOBBY
Anyways...without an archangel, it's not like we can go back home. And I'm not sure I'd want to.
all right then. obviously, shit's gonna happen with lucifer and michael though right. don't have a lot of episodes left (lol) and i know michael gets all up in there at some point
DEAN
Hey, you remember...remember when you asked if we could stop it? All the evil in the world?
SAM
Yeah.
DEAN
If we could...really change things? Well, maybe with Jack, we can.
SAM
Maybe you're right. But then what will we do?
DEAN
Mm. Yeah. This. (Dean holds a beer he has been carrying and Sam looks down at his) A whole lot of this. But on a beach somewhere, you know? Can you imagine? You, me, Cass, toes in the sand, couple of them little umbrella drinks. Matching Hawaiian shirts, obviously. Some hula girls.
SAM (scoffing)
You talking about retiring? You?
DEAN
If I knew the world was safe? Hell, yeah. And you know why? 'Cause we freaking earned it, man.
SAM (holding up his beer)
I'll drink to that.
DEAN
Yeah. Hell, yeah.
being optimistic is surely a sign for everything to turn to absolute shit. is cas gonna wear the trench over the hawaiian shirt? he's awfully commited to that look
tired of myself talking about this show.
DEAN
Jack? Hey.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy. You're just having a bad dream.
JACK
Sorry.
DEAN
It's okay. You don't have to apologize. I have 'em, too. All the time.
JACK
You do?
DEAN
Sure.
JACK
You, um... What do you see?
DEAN
Well, depends. Mostly... mostly people I couldn't save.
thanks for saying that i guess, pretty sure he's only gonna talk to someone that's zoned as a kid about it. but without specifics of course
DEAN
Jack... it's not about being strong. I mean...Look, I don't know what you saw over there, and I don't know what you went through.
I know it was bad. But I also know that you came out the other side because you are strong. But even when we're strong, man, things are gonna happen. We're gonna make mistakes. Nobody's perfect. Right? But we can get better. Every day, we can get better. So whatever you're dealing with, you know, whatever...whatever comes at us, we'll figure out a way to deal with it, together. You're family, kid, and we look after our own.
needed some Quality Dad Bonding time between jack and dean, i guess now that he's not convinced he's gonna go evil and blow up the world. also always slightly amused that jack's actor, alexander calvert, is 27 at this point
didn't take long for lucifer to show up
jack flitting off to basically kill this guy with no proof of wrongdoing, like. it's such a weird character because he's an adult, i think in world he's supposed be i dunno, late teens? and he's got a very childlike view of events. it's like infantilizing except that he is basically a baby with extremely limited life experince so?? i dunno. doesn't really work for me on the regular
in a way i wish pellegrino had a different role so i could like the character he's playing. i want to believe this thing with jack because he's just so good at being sincere and horrible. like, some fucking random play at getting jack on his side is making me cry??? because the idea of starting over and him actually leaving everyone alone is just so... i wish.
MARY
Sam, even if we find Lucifer, how we gonna stop him?
did they lose their archangel blade over in au world?
MAGGIE
Does it matter? Kinda seems like you have bigger, you know, Satan-y problems.
SAM
Yeah, but -- but we're -- we're dealing with those. Mostly.
the little muttered "mostly" did get a chuckle out of me
CASTIEL
Yeah, angel radio is nothing but static, which is disturbing.
i mean there's only what, 9 angels left anyway lol
laughing at this ridiculous slow float downstairs while they shoot at him, knowing nothing is going to do anything
well. that big reveal of lucifer is actually evil to jack thing, well played by pellegrino as i'd expect. did not expect him flashing out of there with jack and sammy in tow.
DEAN
No. What if...what if you had your sword?
well. i wondered what on earth could get dean to say yes.
LUCIFER
Wow, Daddy Sammy coming to the rescue. But your little Jackie, the nougat-loving boy that you had before, he's killed people.
He's got lots of blood on his hands.
SAM (standing)
I don't care. He's family.
i mean, so has sam and the rest of their family so?? not exactly a convincing argument :p
DEAN (to Castiel)
Lucifer has Sam. He has Jack. Cass, I don't have a choice!
DEAN (To Michael)
If we do this, it's a one-time deal.
I'm in charge. You're the engine, but I'm behind the wheel.
Understand?
i'm sure that'll work out fine
mmmk.
convenient that michael and lucifer brought the archangel blades with them so we can have a little showdown
lol reminds me of the matrix training with morpheus fight but cheesier. and we're just gonna have a fist fight in the air. oy
are they actually committing to killing lucifer? his character was more than done but sad to see pellegrino leave, but glad that plotline is over finally
SAM
You did it.
DEAN
No. No, we did it. We did it.
and dean immediately hunches over in pain and it's like s8e23 all over again
and now michael has his special sword vessel and he broke the deal and they can't go killing him while he's wearing dean, right. wonder how long that's gonna drag on in the next season. i haven't seen a lot of gifs of michael!dean so lol i figure it can't be that long??
