I don't buy the cure. Lucifer's not supposed to actually be in Sam anymore, the hallucinations of him are just the way Sam's psychosis manifests from all the trauma his soul underwent in the Cage. If Cas can undo that damage then he should be able to undo it, full stop - I don't see how harm to Sam would be able to jump to him instead in a way that leaves Sam well. (Also, Castiel was able to put Dean back together when he'd broken, was well on his way to becoming a demon, and his brain was a few pounds of decaying sludge in a four-month-old corpse.)

Maybe it's not a straight psychosis? Or whatever the terminology would be? Maybe it's a psychic break due to supernatural influences --more than just a human brain/soul enduring trauma. Or, maybe it's that it was Sam's soul enduring the trauma, not his brain. So it's a soul trauma . . . yeah, I got nothing. I'm willing to go with it, but I got nothing to speak to the logic or lack thereof of it. Actually, now I'm back to Harvey, and there being some lingering presence of Lucifer actually attached to Sam's soul, and it's not just psychological. And Cas just took Harvey and shifted him over to himself. I don't know how that gels with Sam's wall being "crumbled". But at this point I'm used to any logic not being applicable to Show.
Also, I flove how the comeback fics, even the ones using spoilers of varying degrees, still got Jossed.
I'm reading silly people grring over how Cas got done wrong and they're finally quitting the show. Good. Please mean it.

I just gotta say I really like the actress playing Meg this go-around. She's got a lovely smarmy way of speaking, while her eyes practically twinkle. She's going to be fun to watch if we see more of her.

Oh yeah, she speaks like the leading lady from one of those Screwball comedies of the 1940s, it's really distinctive.
If anything Cas or Death had mentioned previously suggested that there was a piece of Lucifer embedded in Sam's soul and continuing to torment him, or even a curse inflicted by same that's actively doing something, it would make a lot more sense that it could be relocated and cause the same sort of trouble (with the same hallucinatory avatar, even!) for someone new.

Rachel Miner is the bomb. I've loved and been freaked out by her since her turn in that episode of Life, something about Ziggy and his brother Satan. It was a shock at first seeing her with more weight on her face, and some of my disconnect was "can demons gain weight?". But, she's still not fat, not even chubby-- my god, she must have been anorexic before. But yes, she has a fantastic speech pattern and a sadistic twist of her eyes and mouth that is delightful.
I also kind of love the implication that she was using her kiss with Cas to goad Dean (or maybe I'm imagining things, but there were lines of dialogue and winks and significant glances I thought).

Speaking of women that have (presumably) made out with Cas, did I miss anyone mentioning that Daphne had been notified her jiffy pop husband has recovered his memories and been committed to a mental hospital?
I'd have preferred it if instead of some random woman that fished an amnesiac Cas out of the lake, his wife had actually been Amelia Novak, presumably having been alerted to his presence by a news broadcast about the John Doe authorities were trying to help.

I'm a little weirded out that Cas has a wife, since it's only been a few months. If anything, I'd rather it have been a girlfriend, or even a sweet woman with unrequited feelings for Cas (not because I think Cas needs to remain pure for Dean, it just seems fast).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't articulate the feelings I have for that episode, not at all.
I...Jesus.
Sam!
Cas!
MEG??
Sentences will need to wait. I wonder what Tumblr looks like.

Okay--one thought--Dean brought the trenchcoat from stolen car to stolen car, and he gave it back to him and he put it on for no good reason.
I think I did promise Sera some lawn work for that.
Okay, now I'm gone.

AWESOMENESS is its own reason.
