#15x12 commentary

The only thing better than Nick “I’m your dad now” Stokes is Sara being someone’s dad – they did a really good job of her and Abby’s relationship (“one d are playing Wednesday” “just kidding it’s Lorde, I’ll pick you up at 7”).
Retconning her family trauma is kind of an unforgivable writing choice in a long line of bad writing choices in post-Grissom CSI, but that was a really great episode. Pinning Slade up against the wall and threatening to kill him if he brought Abby to the alphabets again, the cop pretending he didn’t see it, it’s peak dad behaviour and I love her

Kat: Yeah. Who gives a flying fuck about Kaia. Literally no one
Giulia: guess they are tying the loose ends
Kat: No one has thought about her in 2 years, she was a dead end
Giulia: Idk what the point was
Kat: Idk to have Jack use his powers for some reason? Surely they could have found something better
Giulia: Idk man. Between this fucking virus and jib and life and this writing, I’m very much blegh. I mean I love my boys. But
Zee: Let’s just hope they give them a decent ending and not something so lame that it will ruin everything
Nat: You love them and you want the best for them. not half-assed writing
Giulia: Yeah
Nat: lol what show have you been watching the last season
Kat: Yeah. It’ll be ruined. I have no hope of anything else
Nat: I don't have much hope but also that will maybe make me feel better when it's not as bad as I think it will be
Zee: I know but I can’t let it drag me down
Giulia: Yup

I have decided to start trying to catch up with Season 15 before the finale, as I quit after 15x11 The Gamblers which I thought was a generally stupid and boring episode. It also happened to air around the time a lot of rumours were spreading and negativity around Cas’s arc was spreading so it was around then that I decided to just distance myself to protect myself from the show.
Anyway. I finally decided to pick up where I left off. I have just recently watched episodes 12 and 13. OMG. I missed out. These episodes are both absolute GOLD and a thousand times better than the two previous episodes (because as much as the meta commentary of 15x10 is fantastic the episode itself was a cringefest that I couldn’t actually stomach).
15x12 was a rich and layered narrative cleverly crafted by Bobo and Meredith which wrapped up some important plot points. It brought back Kaia, thus resurrecting its first queer character, and set in motion a world of fanfiction where Kaia and Claire can reunite and live happily ever after (seriously the Destiel parallels alone are worth the watch - or should I say Destiel foreshadowing!!!) It allowed Cas and Jody to FINALLY meet and have a heartfelt conversation about Claire which really touched me. It barely covered up Bobo’s anger at the cancellation of Wayward Sisters by the network (Chuck’s monologue could have come from a CW executive lbr) and it was generally an enjoyable episode to watch.
15x13 surprised me even more. For a Bucklemming episode it was a really good (if crowded) story which had me laughing out loud at certain moments. The scenes set in the Empty are an eye opener for me though, because the emphasis on the angels and demons suffering through all their regrets just makes me even more certain that this is not Castiel’s fate. It would be unjustly cruel of the writers to make this so clear when previously we only knew that the Empty was a place of eternal slumber, not eternally suffering through your biggest regrets like a version of Hell. (It does kinda remind me of the Hell of the series Lucifer where people create their own Hell based on the guilt in their souls). If this was truly the place that the writers were intending to send Cas to permanently, then why didn’t they just leave it as the place he gets to sleep, in peace. If it was truly his planned ending, then they would have made clear that the Empty was a form of “Heaven” for angels and demons. Eternal slumber, eternal peace. Like ceasing to exist. “They’ll be peace when you are done.” which would have at least softened the blow for Cas’s endgame. But Nope. They have instead chosen to further raise the stakes and make the Empty into an actual Hell type place. This is not what the Empty was before.
Why would they do this? Because raising the stakes before the ending is what you do. Because it’s always darkest before the dawn, and whilst Castiel went out happy, anyone following the show will know he is now stuck in a place of unjust suffering. This is the kind of last minute thing you pull to MAKE the audience care MORE. To make them WANT Cas to be saved. It’s classic storytelling 101. Its another fucking trope. No writer is going to send one of their lead characters to Hell for their endgame. Because no audience ever is going to accept that. If the Empty had remained a neutral sleeping zone, then I could have somewhat believed it. But now? It’s just not happening.
I’m still not 100% up to speed on the story, having still got to watch episodes 14,15,16,17 and 18, but this episode alone makes it clear to me that the message weaved into this particular plot point, is that the Empty is NOT Castiel’s final resting place.
Fingers crossed we at least get some hints at this being the case in tonights episodes.

Supernatural: Galaxy Brain (15x12)
Oh dang, we're back! Can you believe there will never be another Supernatural hiatus ever again? I'm already emotional!
Cons:
I guess they couldn't get the actress who plays Claire to appear? I really, really would have liked to see the Claire and Kaya reunion. This felt like a send-off to Jody's character, unless there's a big all-out guest star extravaganza at the end of the season. I liked the episode a lot, but inevitably I start to think about the things we didn't see. Alex, Patience, and Claire not appearing is kind of sad!
Pros:
This is an odd thing to compliment, but I really liked how they handled the exposition. Sam, Dean, and Cas sitting around worried about Jack, worried about what this means. It was a lot smoother than their usually disjointed efforts to catch the audience up with what's going on.
I really like the meta stuff. I love that Chuck monologues to a random dude in another universe about his wants and needs. We get this sense that all the other universes that Chuck has built are not "sparking joy" for him. The original Sam and Dean, our Sam and Dean, are the ones who challenge him. In order to combat his ennui, he says it's time to put all of the subplots and "failed spin-offs" to rest, and focus on the core story. As the episode goes on, we see how this relates to Sam and Dean's story, as they have to work with the alternate-universe Kaya to get her back to her dying world, and to save their Kaya, who it turns out is still alive. At the end of the episode, we see Chuck destroy the world he's on now, the one where we have a President Hillary Clinton, along with all of the others.
This is great! I love the meta commentary on cutting away all of the subplots and zeroing in on the main story. We've got eight episodes left, folks. It's time to focus. At the same time, it was so lovely to see Jody again, and reinforce her bond with the boys. Apparently she and Cas have never met in person before, which seems wild to me, but there you have it! At least they got to have that moment now.
I wish that Supernatural hadn't killed off Kaya to begin with, but at least if they were going to kill off queer characters, they've set about to resurrect some of them! First Charlie, or at least another version of her, and now Kaya! She and Claire get to have their romance after all. This is just such a nice gift, something that they can totally get away with doing, and I'm so glad they did. It was sweet to see Sam and Dean take a big risk to bring Kaya home. Kaya running in to Dean's arms was so lovely!
I also liked that Cas and Jody got some time to talk. Cas obviously feels a connection to Claire, given the vessel he still uses. And Jody is Claire's mother now, in every way that counts. For them to come together and bond, and for Cas to ask Jody to stay behind to avoid making Claire an orphan again... that was just really lovely, and a good moment of connection for the two of them. It's the kind of stuff you almost think this show would forget about, but they didn't. Even without Claire in the episode, they managed to touch base on one of the show's long-running subplots and some of the greatest fan-favorite characters.
We also shuffle some more pieces on the chess board of the A-plot. The situation is this: Jack is taking orders from Billie, but he doesn't have all of the information. She has the whole thing set up for Jack to kill God. But meanwhile, he can't use his powers. Which - he does, of course, to help save Kaya. Billie shows up like a bad-ass, kills the reaper Merle who had been helping them out with the bunker's wards, and lays down the law. I love Billie. I love that we have Jack back, but he's still without a soul and things are still off. I love that Sam and Dean are having to contend with the fact that when the final battle occurs, they might not be at the center of it.
One of my favorite moments of the episode was Sam and Dean preparing to go into the alternate universe, and Sam remarking that doing a big, stupid, risky thing for the sake of doing the right thing, made him feel good. That's classic Winchester behavior right there, and it's what we all love to see!
So that's where I'll stop. I feel like I have to end every review I have left of this show, marveling over how close we are to the finale! It's going to be so trippy to say goodbye!
8/10

Grey’s Talk + Real Talk
This delves into mental illness and it also discusses spoilers for Grey’s Anatomy 15x16. 
Under cut for sensitivity and spoilers. This is also stupid (STUPID) long and I’m sorry but I needed to say it. Hopefully it finds the people who need to read it. 💗
[but seriously, it’s long]
Deluca’s Dad storyline was harder for me than I expected. And not for the reasons I thought. It was hard because I expected to be more conflicted and I felt guilty for how passionately sure I was about my reactions. I also feel that my strong (negative) opinions merit some explanation. Specifically, because my issue is not with his mental illness, but with the behaviour even (and especially) from the lens of mental illness. My possibly controversial stance is that mental illness is not an excuse. It’s a reason or perhaps an explanation, but it is not an excuse for treating people badly, for alienating people or for neglecting self-work and certainly not for abusive behaviour to people trying to help and support (and I know sometimes this is impossible. I get that.) But I do think Andrew’s Dad was manipulating him and it broke my heart to see Carina’s pain in this episode - give that woman a hug!
[Digression into some context building on my opinion....]
Mental illness is close to my life. It’s a personal struggle and journey for me and it is an active, constant, often painful commitment to remaining accountable for my actions and my relationships. It’s not easy, and it’s really not fair, BUT it’s my truth and I believe in the power of leading by example. So I don’t say it lightly that I believe mental illness is not an excuse and I believe I must out myself in order to take that stance. I cannot always control what I think or feel or even how I act. But I can control how I react to it after, how I approach damage control, how much accountability I take and how much power I give mental illness in exchange for wiping my hands of its destruction. 
My easy days are what some would consider their hardest. It’s all on a spectrum. My reality allows me to see both sides clearer because I have such a stark comparison between good and bad, up and down. I refuse to give mental illness credit for the absolute beauty and gratitude I have for my life and my good days, so why would I blame it fully for my bad days. Giving an illness I did not ask for and cannot control, the power of saying it makes me who I am or it dictates my quality of connections is not worth it to me to be able to surrender to it and hide behind it and I owe it to myself and everyone else to embrace it and understand it so it does not control me. I do name it. I do speak it - but how that looks for me is not rooted in shame or manipulation, it comes from a place of honesty. Of “I’m not okay today and I can’t have this conversation”. Of “I wasn’t myself and I’m doing the very best I can”. I feel the responsibility I carry as a result of mental illness and I have deep respect for anyone who is doing their best - whatever that looks like. And I draw the line at painting myself a victim - it is a disservice to the honest to god work it takes to be a human with a mental illness in a world still not built for us. And these stories on Grey’s about parents with mental illness are tough for me because I recognize that I’m in the drivers seat and should I decide to raise kids I will need to hold myself even more accountable because the cards I’ve been dealt cannot be any child’s burden. But I also appreciate this is a deeply personal topic and I respect that other people may disagree - that is their right. This is simply my own truth.
[Back to Grey’s….]
When mental illness is depicted on TV that’s always risky. (Shout out to You’re the Worst and A Million Little Things for getting a lot of stuff right and being self-aware). My personal experience is also why I have SUCH a soft spot for Helen (or at least, the season 15 version of her). I’m so proud of her, if that makes sense. I’m happy for Alex to have this time with her as her best self, and I’m proud of her. I loved how in 15x15 they played with the audience and Alex’s perception of what mental illness looks like and what stability looks like.
It is a struggle to accurately portray these topics because it’s a struggle to actually live them, or to watch loved ones live them. On TV and in life, it’s hard to balance a fear that you or your loved one isn’t okay, but also be open that they are not defined by their illness and that it can (hopefully) be managed (by meds, therapy, alternative options, or a combination). That they are a person that is bigger than any illness. And the cruelty is that “okay” and “not okay” can look so very similar.
So in Helen’s situation the bar was set low for Alex and he’s seeing that she is doing okay, so maybe he can stop looking at her as someone to take care of and focus on building a relationship. Andrew is doing the same, in theory - even if I think his motivations are influenced by other factors. But I do think Helen and Dr. Deluca will be foils to each other here. Both struggle with mental illness, both have sons deeply impacted as a result. But are the outcomes going to be different?
But also, has Helen primed us to expect that he will be opposite. If she is stable, do we automatically expect him not to be? We do have it on good authority (Carina) that he isn’t as okay as he seems. How much are they playing with our perceptions and misconceptions about mental illness? I don’t know that. I also don’t know Dr. Deluca enough to know what his personality is. He does come across as quite intense from the get go - but I don’t want to unfairly assume this is nearing manic territory, when it could just be who he is: a passionate, excited doctor and father who may be a bit tone deaf as to the impact he’s had on his family. My gut feeling is he is not okay. Carina tells us he is not okay. Everything. EVERYTHING about her in this episode exudes pain and exhaustion and proof of how not okay he really is and how she is shouldering that burden - more so with Andrew not open to seeing her side.
Now, regarding the conversation between Deluca and his Dad - that I personally feel fueled Andrew’s desire to take his Dad’s side… As it was happening I wasn’t convinced he would go down that rabbit hole. So I’m kind of disappointed that’s what seems to have happened. But there was a very key connection that tells me this was intentional - and if that’s the case, it is a larger theme that needs to be explored between him and Mer.
In 15x12 when he’s getting frustrated with her hot and cold he says (I’m paraphrasing my ass off here) [“I thought you were so BEYOND me. But you’re not. You’re like a child”] -- say what you will about the validity or appropriateness of those comments. But he was tuning into a real feeling he was having and naming that he had felt undeserving of her, at least in part. He was giving us a window into an insecurity he may not even be fully aware of.
SO. To see his Dad echo that to the letter was very interesting: 
VD - “I see you... but this woman of yours, she is beyond you.”
AD - “Wow... Thank you”
VD - “Andrea, even I have heard of Meredith Grey, all the way back home. She’s more than a beauty, she is brilliant.
AD - “Yeah, I’m aware”
VD - “So... then... we change the word together! We save the babies!”
If I’m correct in how intentional this was, then I 100% believe Deluca got hijacked by this nagging insecurity and is going full speed ahead, not only because he wants to give his Dad a chance or believes he is truly stable enough for this project (which may be true for all we know). But an additional, and perhaps more powerful motivator for Andrew is that if he can be part of medical history then he can meet Mer on the pedestal he has put her on - subconsciously or not.
My disclaimer to all this is that I do believe he is confident, and I’m aware he went after her first. But you can be confident and sure of an attraction and still insecure. You can be open to love and still be intimidated. He can feel all the things. I think the trouble will be if he is unaware that he is feeling them and therefore does not deal with them. And finally, if this is an issue that surfaces, and it’s not addressed, it could breed resentment and frustration on both ends - I do not want Mer taking this on as her own because she is not lording her power over him and in fact, she was concerned about that dynamic because she understands how hard it can be. My hope is that she recognizes it and can reassure him and he will find some solid footing in their relationship and with his Dad. If I didn’t love them so hard and love him so hard I’d probably enjoy seeing him all innocent and vulnerable, but I’m just scared he’s opening himself up to be heartbroken by his Dad. And I’m not sure I can handle that. haha. Finger crossed no matter what happens with the Deluca famjam, it only serves to bring Merluca closer. 🤞💗
I’m fascinated by where they could take all this. I’m cautiously optimistic that even if it goes sideways, they can still offer some valuable commentary on mental illness and the stigma around it.
I’m so excited to see the reactions from the rest of the fandom!
Sorry this got so real (and SO long). I just couldn’t talk about this episode without going into what is informing my thoughts. Talking about mental illness and mental health matters, and if my openness resonates with just one person, that’s enough. Everyone has light inside and it’s okay not to be okay. And for everyone else fighting this monster, and doing the very best to be your very best: I see you. You are not alone. 💗
