#but reminder 7 is the episode from the blurry grid that ended with a bunch of green marker…

[chirpsythismorning]

Byler is a slow burn y’all!

While it’s possible milkvan could break up in early s5, or maybe they consider their fallout in s4 their breakup and are only now addressing it and how they’ve realized they’ve been better off as friends over the last year, it’s still gonna take some time for byler to confront everything over the last few years and both get to a point where they have clarity about their own feelings and finally accept that the other one feels the same.

I don’t think there’s enough time to explore all of that before Mike and El have that talk on the roof, or even shortly after that, even if it’s post-time jump.

It will still be interesting to see where Mike and Will are at in their relationship by the time the time jump rolls around.

It’s unlikely the painting will have been addressed without us witnessing it, unless they decide to throw in a flashback at some point if it happened during the time jump.

Which means there is still a lot they need to talk about, let alone for them be literally dating.

I think it’s also possible Will won’t know Mike and El are over for real, not until Mike or El tell him and the others.

What this might result in is an episode or two of Mike pining for Will (single 😁) while Will is none the wiser and maybe even trying to keep his distance, now under the assumption that Mike wants space to be alone with El since they’ve finally reconciled once and for all.

There’s gonna need to be episodes exploring their dynamic as friends that can be something more if they want to be and how they navigate that and how obvious it is that, in contrast to Mike and El, while they are indeed friends, they work even better as being something more too.

They’ve invested the entire series to building this up, in a way that most of the audience missed. They need to spend some time now making it obvious so that people can rewatch a lot of their scenes for what they truly are (romantic) now that they know the truth, as opposed to just being ambushed with them being together.

I need people that didn’t even want it to happen to have to endure the tension all season long, to the point where they’re screaming at their screen JUST KISS ALREADY! GET IT OVER WITH! JESUS CHRIST!

12x22 and 23 thoughts

Okay from the new teaser (shaving people punting things “Two in One”) I feel like we’ve learned a few things, this got really long so more under the cut (speculation in italics): 

1.  They use a spell to try to get out of the bunker. After trying and failing to brute force their way out of the bunker’s concrete garage with a shovel. And some form of alcohol. Also, some right handed person (based on their watch) cuts their hand, which we all know is code for spell or sigil. Maybe for the get-out-of-the-bunker spell?

2. Toni is handcuffed and monitoring Dean’s brain for some reason.

3. There’s a house in a very desaturated color graded environment where a bunch of stuff goes down. We see an inside shot of the stairs (presumably of the same house), where there’s an old picture of a married couple on the wall. I think it’s the same house where we the first crib, based on the colors and the old tech in the room. Kelly is in full pre-baby mode, presumably staying in this old off the grid house, and Cas watches her (based on a vague silhouette) painting the baby’s (seemingly named “Jack” by what the wall says, did we already know that and I forgot?) room. Cas raises a finger to someone while outside the house too. Of course there’s the “Cas’s hand touching Dean’s head and glowing” snipit people are screaming about. This looks like it is in Kelly's place at night, Sam is also there. There’s a bunch of other Kelly shots at night while she’s in a nightgown, but they don’t tell us much other than she’s very pregnant.

4. Cas standing at the edge of a lake in a mountainous region (looks like the same area-ish Lucifer is at at the end of 12x21). Probably near where the house is. (Reminds me vaguely of 6x20 when Cas talks about the ocean and his earliest memories).

5. Later, a guy walking in the desaturated colored environment (purgatory-esque) with a gun is seen, moving away from a dead body. Lots of snippets of Dean, Sam, Mary, Cas, and Lucifer are seen in this location. In my opinion this leads into the *same* guy walking up to Cas who says “You?” There’s lights flashing because that truck (in the teaser) with the police lights is there and flashing, by my guess. It seems too random-flashy to be the bunker emergency lights. Or I could be completely wrong.

6. There’s also the (bomb?) trigger! Held by a man wearing a greenish jacket. Is this the same guy as big gun guy? Because you know who is both wearing a greenish jacket and holding a big gun in the regular promo? Dean!

7. They go back to the bunker at some point cause Ketch is getting the shit beat out of him by someone.

8. Someone’s knee, based on the jeans and shoes probably either Dean or Sam, was scraped down with that metal torture device that gets washed off (by someone with well taken care of but non-painted nails). This occurs in the bunker based on the door.

9. The BMOL are gathering weapons (unsurprisingly) and we also see a screen shot of the tech they have been using to listen in on the Winchesters, but I can’t imagine Sam and Dean don’t destroy the bugs first thing after they’re trapped in the bunker? Also, there’s a shot of a map software that is probably being used by the bmol. And them in their planning room. All very expected.

10. The room Sam and Jody are in where Jody has a gun on someone. Possibly the BMOL hq?

---- Now for the weirder stuff

11. The red hair? In a nice office? Held by a leather coat wearing person with a ring on their hand (so mary or lucifer probably)? What?

12. The lucifer photo in front of a house? It’s really blurry and old looking but it can’t be that old cause it’s the Nick vessel? And if it’s not just an old pic of Nick, who the hell would be able to get a straight on posing pic of Lucifer – it doesn’t look like ordinary surveillance? It’s slowly tinged red, which could just be editing, or it could be taking place in the bunker with the emergency lights flashing?

Pure speculation

13. Some one dies and crawls the fuck out of their earthen grave (shot of dirty reaching hand very similar to the shot in 4x01 when Dean did the same thing). Am I crazy to hope for Adam? Probably crazy, yes.

Miscellaneous:

Ketch calling.

Dean crying while wearing the same shirt he’s wearing during the brain scanning. Close up of his bloody face.

Bloody footprint.

Enochian metal knuckle things.

Cas kissing Kelly’s forehead.

Map of the bunker that Dean is looking at.

Dead bloody guy idfk (maybe Lester?), but isn’t Cas cause of a zipper on the khaki colored jacket (very trench coat like, it scared me) he’s wearing.

Jody calling.

Cas looking out window .

At text from who I must guess is Mary to Ketch saying that "Lester's down. Who's next?"

GOd this episode is gonna kill me.
