He's so gracious--hugging and shaking hands. But did you notice how slowly and carefully he moves in a crowd, no sudden moves, everything low-key. It's a skill, and he's learned it well.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
If Show makes good at it's implied promises, I wonder what shape Dean's unraveling/break/breakdown/meltdown/snap will take.
Also, I'm curious about Harvey. If he's not Lucifer reaching out from the cage, if it's not Sam actually being still in the cage, then is it some residual grace (or whatever Lucifer has) still insinuated inside Sam, or is it Sam's mind, and it's a nonsupernatural mental disorder, and why, if it's Sam's mind, would it want for Sam to kill himself. I don't think it's the latter. I'm leaning more towards Harvey after Crichton gets the chip out.

Oh, thanks for the Harvey ref! I've been looking at Lu as Scorpy myself.
...that's probably just word salad for a non-fannish person, huh?

Because books.
I'm leaning toward completely non-supernatural trauma/visions, or whatever you want to call them.
He's hallucinating Lucifer because he tormented Sam for a century. And between Sam's guilt and the repeated threats, his mind is producing a really reasonable facsimile of Lucifer.
Plus, if Sam subconsciously wanted to off himself, who could blame him? It would be a lot more peaceful than being a half-crazy hunter with a twitchy, grieving brother, a burned out home base, and only one other friend in the world.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I agree with Amy that it's just a garden-variety fracture of his mind. The supernatural broke it, but it's broken in a mundane way.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Sam was also briefly Lucifer's vessel, which might result in imprinting an echo of the latter's thought process into his brain even with the actual possessing intelligence long gone. I'd guess he can imagine/hallucinate a better facsimile of Lucifer than Dean could of Alastair, whose long bouts of torture were applied from without rather than within.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Ooh. I like Matt's take on things. Very much so.
Also, given everything they've been through, I suppose it's a miracle that either one of the boys is even remotely functional.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Bev's word salad made me smile. Then it made me concerned that I understood it completely.
Watching the video, Jared should totally be a politician, the way he shakes hands and works the crowd. How cool for the kid that owned the Impala. I can't link from my phone, but Jensen in the impala was adorable too. Search YouTube: Jensen Ackles in my Impala. He tells the kid not to change the interior because it's cool. Aww.

The kid who played Lucas in Dead in the Water was one of the kids in The Girl Next Door.
Time flies, eh?

New clip for this week's episode.
Which I hope to be watching with Suzi and Theresa and Stephanie, maybe, possibly!
