Can they get by with nobody being worn to the Prom.
No. Not any way I can see, at least. And this is why, though I love the show, I'm only hopeful that having a S6 is a good thing, not gleeful.
On the other hand it would be cool if one or both get worn to prom but it turns out that it was a trap the brothers planed together
This has potential.
Plei pointed out this gorgeous gen 5.18 coda, and it is well worth the read. Castiel focus.
Here's another one. Very very awesome. [link]
That last one is beautiful.
Right now the only way I can see Sam bieng a vessel is if Sam thinks he can trick Lucifer and somehow defeat him but he doesn't manage to pull it off.
do you think there's any chance that Sam would in fact end up saying yes?
When Lucifer definitively told Sam that Sam would say yes, didn't he tell Sam it would be in 6 months, and that it would take place in Detroit? (I'm upstairs right now, and the DVR is downstairs. I'm hoping one of you people with the photographic memories retained the info.) Because it seems to me at the time it worked out that if Lucifer wasn't lying his ass off, that the 6 months timeframe worked out to some time in May. I figured it would make a hell (no pun intended) of a season finale.
We've heard Detroit referenced twice. Lucifer said that's where it would be, and in Dean's trip to the future. I assume we'll be visiting Detroit soon. What I don't remember was whether Sam went there alone in the now-defunct future, if it was addressed at all (I think it was, and I think he did, but it's been months since I've seen it).
Morgana, I also remember the "hey, that's May!" time prediction.
The only way I won't (I think) be completely upset with Sam saying yes is if it's a plan. If he caves, I'll probably be pretty bitter.
There might be ramifications (as in, no takebacks) from Dean already having said yet, and that seems fair. Unfortunate, but fair.
A plan could play out in really cool ways. I just think someone's got to say yes to someone and make it stick, or the whole setup will seem anticlimactic.
Either way, we're in for pain.
I honestly don't think there would be a S6 if Sam said yes deliberately and without it being part of a plan. After winning back Dean's trust, which is what S5 has been all about, throwing it away would destroy their relationship utterly, beyond redemption.
If he's tricked into it somehow, or if he agrees as part of some plan, that's another thing.
