14x07 Unhuman Nature

“It’s like I’m you”

Seriously, Jack is the sweetest thing I have ever seen in my life. Seeing him smiling and being so mature and facing death the way that he did… Man, I care so much about this kid. Someone please, I don’t really care who, or who’s got to make a deal with a freaking demon or what, but please, don’t hurt this ray of sunshine. Let him just be happy and enjoy life. Jack is too good to be true.

Let’s begin with what I consider one of the best scenes of the episode: Jack and Dean’s interactions. These scenes are giving me life. I love the fact that Jack has frown so much to Dean. Him letting Jack drive the Impala just to make him happy. Jezz, when he wants, Dean’s such a sweetheart. I loved how supportive was him of Jack’s decision to spend the rest of his days happily, especially since he was the one who told him that when it comes to it, he’ll be the one to kill him. I just hope this is not what it actually happens once Michael inevitably takes control over Dean’s body, again.

Having the two of them bonding was so damn good. Ever since Jack was born, he tried to imitate Dean as much as he could and, as long as this kid has a smile on his face, he can actually do whatever he wants. I love how far both of them have come. From not trusting each other at the beginning, to wanting each other killed, to being absolutely inseparable. I wish we had more scenes like this. Scenes that make me realize that Supernatural is still that show that I fell in love with years ago. That show that, despite breaking my heart into a million pieces and making me feel every feeling there is and there will be, still gets me when they talk about family.
That show that makes me a real softie when it comes to siblings and the real meaning of family.

In all honesty, that Impala scene was so heartwarming. If only I could go on a road trip with someone special. I too would’ve had that big smile Jack had. I was smiling so much at that scene that my face actually hurt.

If there’s one thing that the Impala scene made me realize is how much I miss Sam and Dean being on the road, going from one motel to another. Every single time a deep conversation between our boys takes place in the Impala, I get somehow nostalgic. I love the fact that the boys are in the bunker and that they found their home there, but I miss them being on the road more often.

When I said that I was really interested in Nick’s storyline I wasn’t even kidding. I love me some Mark Pellegrino. Period. I don’t care who he is playing. I just want that guy on my screen 24/7. I’m actually more scared of Nick that I ever was of Lucifer. Like Dean once said “Demons I get, but people are crazy”. Quick questions about Nick’s storyline: What the actual fuck? I mean, I knew that there was no way Lucifer was gone that way and the fact that they kept Nick around could only mean that Lucifer was going to make a comeback. However, I wasn’t expecting that comeback to be as Terminator.

The only way I see Lucifer coming back is so that Jack could get his mojo back. Lucifer will definitely be back, but I hope this time it’s different because otherwise, they’ll just dread his story. I’m getting pretty tired of the Lucifer storyline, which, truth be told, hasn’t changed in all those years. I just wish Michael has the control this season and that Lucifer is just used to cure Jack. It would be a way of sort of redeeming himself after taking Jack’s grace. However, I find it so weird that he’ll be back. His arc ended with him dying and I thought the symmetry was perfect. First, he rejected redemption from God and then, his own son rejected him. It’s sort of poetic justice.

I’m now more into Nick’s story than into Lucifer coming back. Some years ago, I wouldn’t even have said those words, but now, I’m so digging Nick’s inner struggle to go against his instincts instead of going full psycho on everyone he meets.
Nick is new. His story is fresh and it’s an absolute pleasure to watch him struggle and being absolutely terrifying and menacing, yet outstanding and badass while doing it. I’d hate for Nick to be replaced by Lucifer. Nick has a different vibe and he scares me more than Lucifer ever did. Yeah, I miss Lucifer’s snarkiness, but Nick seems more mature and he doesn’t have that childish attitude Luci has.

I hope that the fact that Lucifer is back doesn’t mean that they forget about Michael being the big bad this season. They sort of forgot about that storyline, expect from the fact that there are some signs of him still inside Dean. Speaking of, those scenes of Dean getting all hazy and hearing voices, that has to mean that Michael is still being dormant inside of him, right? Exactly the same way Dean said he was dormant when Michael took control.

And was Dean actually listening to Angel Radio? Maybe it’s far-fetched but I find it interesting that both times, Dean had this blurry vision and he heard those voices exactly after both Rowena and Cas mentioned the word “archangel”. Like I said, it might be a stretch but it was a funny coincidence.

I loved seeing Rowena again. I’ve missed her so damn much. However, I think I didn’t realize how much I wanted her back until I hear her beautiful accent. I swear, it’s so endearing I would listen to her for hours and hours. I can’t believe how much I despised her when she was first introduced and how protective I am of her now.

If there’s anything that I didn’t quite liked this episode was the fact that Sam was underused. He did absolutely nothing and I’d love the three of them to be with Jack on that road trip and not only Dean. More like a family trip.
However, I loved seeing the three of them worrying about Jack in the waiting room. It was so sweet, especially Dean’s “Jack, we’re right here!” Seriously, my heart melted.

Cas and that Sergei guy were interesting. I hope he comes back again. I loved that even though he appeared for like 5 seconds, he still knows that having the Winchester owe you a favour is worth everything. Also, what the hell was Cas’ car? I seriously couldn’t contain myself.

That ending was so damn depressing. “So, what can we do? Watch over him. Stay by his side as he dies”. I sometimes think why the hell I have feelings.

Anyway, having Nick praying to Lucifer (never thought I’d write that one) has me so looking forward to next week. I find Nick’s Stockholm Syndrome absolutely endearing and I’d love to see more of them before he inevitably gets possessed by Lucifer again. That scene reminded me of the one in S07E15 Repo Man, with Jeffrey doing whatever he considers to be possessed again.
The first scene of the episode was outstanding and I can say that I’ve watched it more that 10 times already. I loved his “Hang in there”. Gosh, I love Mark Pellegrino.

I can’t wait for next week’s. I just hope that somehow Jack gets Lucifer’s grace. I don’t care if it’s far-fetched or if there’s a “oh, that guy has some archangel grace left. How convenient” moment like the one with Sergei in this episode. I just want that kid to be alive and happy and I want them all to be a happy family. Also, what happened with the rest of the hunters that were living in the bunker? They sort of disappeared.
