Lucifer could have won right then.
See, I don't think so. Isn't the soul, the person what needs to give consent? Lucifer can find his way into Sam's head, into his dreams -- I don't think that has a lot to do with the meat suit. I think he'd sense that Sam wasn't really in there.
The demon sounded like she was happy about getting the meat suit in the bargain, and that she had to talk him into saying yes to something.
Doesn't make sense with needing Sam's rage, though.
Also weirdness--does Dean want to settle down now, or does he want it for Sam?
Oh, they'd want the vessel, certainly. I'm just not sure someone else in it giving consent would work.
I kept expecting Sam to have an asthma attack when he was struggling in the chair.
It sure sounded like they were asking for the same sort of acquiescence they'd been angling for from Sam. She seemed stoked at the bonus.
They played it like anything in Sam's meat could say yes and it'd count. Veracity of that aside, it read like Garry could give Lucifer the meatsuit invitation.
What gets me is how far they've come from "what don't I know about that kid?"
Seriously.
What I don't get is why Sam didn't exorcise the demon BEFORE it killed the blond kid. (Given that we know that he memorized the ritual before Dean did. . .I guess this means that they dumbed Sam down too.)
On the other hand, Sam as Gary was hilarious.
Dean taking so long to catch on was ridiculously frustrating to me. I yelled at the teevee a couple times.
Yeah, he should have caught on a LOT sooner.
He let Sam drive. . . and then "Sam" hurt Metallicar!
