Rewatching All Hell Breaks Loose: Part 2

Welcome to “Damned DeanDean, Undead Stringbean, and Sad Poppa Bobby: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s2,e22: All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2

 Dean breaks down at the thought of life without Sam and can’t handle the idea that he failed at his one job: to protect his little brother. He makes a deal with a crossroads demon to bring Sam back to life. The price? Dean will go to Hell in one year. Sam comes back to life, as promised, and seems fine, but he’s sus. As is Bobby. Of course they both sort what it is Dean did right quick (cause they aren’t DUMB), and they each separately and in their own ways try to convey to Dean that he’s worth so much more than he thinks he is. Meanwhile, demon stuff. Azazel uses Jake to open a gate to hell. The boys manage to kill Azazel, but hundreds of demons are let loose before they can get the gate shut again. John also escapes, pats Dean on the shoulder, nods at Sam, and ascends to Heaven. Swell.

  Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

 Lor:

 Mace: 

 YAS

 Lor:

 the way Dean can't look Sam in the eyes

 Mace: 

 ope, cat’s out of the hellbag

 Lor:

 HAAAAHAHAHAHA

 Mace: 

 why didn’t he just make them all put their guns down with his mind?

 Lor:

 I was just wondering that myself

 Mace: 

 or have them all shoot themselves

 Lor:

 maybe there's a limit to his power?

I mean, NOW there is, but

 Mace: 

 snork!

 Lor:

 dang, Sammy

 Mace: 

 right?!

that’s probably fine

 Lor:

 ooooof the look on Dean's face and then Sammy wiping the blood off

 YEP. definitely fine

 Mace: 

 definitely

 if it’s a devil’s trap, how exactly are the demons breaking through it?

 Lor:

 right?

 Mace: 

 ooof DEAN

 Lor:

 sheer numbers? I dunno

 his poor pretty little head

 Mace: 

 maybe devil’s traps only work one way? and this one was to keep ’em out and away from the gate?

 Lor:

 oh maybe

 (their use of "ever" in "better deal than your dad ever got" makes me NUTS. it implies either John made several deals OR that John's deal was a LONG time ago. NEITHER IS TRUE)

 Mace: 

 ooof, yeah

 Lor:

 grumbles in copy editor

 Mace: 

 if Yellow Eyes were smart he wouldn’t have kept that gun loaded...

 Lor:

 right?

 PUSH HIM BACK IN!

 Mace: 

 you know how much I love this show, but there’s a lot of loosey goosey writing going on here

 HAAAAHAHAHAHA

 Lor:

 oh yeah there is

 a shoulder touch and some tears don't make the last 23 years okay JOHN

 Mace: 

 yeah, JOHN

 Lor:

 Target

he's at Target, Sammy

 Mace: 

 HA

 Lor:

 I need someone to clean up Dean's forehead

I VOLUNTEER

 Mace: 

 SNORK

 oh SAMMY

 he’s got the hurt puppy going ON

 Lor:

 "don't get mad at me. don't you do that." I CAN'T. Dean you're killing me. that's not fair, baby

 Mace: 

 “there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you”

 Lor:

 oh my boys

 Mace: 

 YAS

 no one cares about you Ellen

go home

 Lor:

 lololololol

 Mace: 

 oh…WAIT

 Lor:

 seriously

haaaaaahahahahahahaha

 Mace: 

 too soon?

 Lor:

 "we've got work to do"

 Mace: 

 “we got work to do"

YAS

 Lor:

 I still CANNOT BELIEVE that (among other things) they did not take the opportunity to call back that line in the finale somehow

 Mace: 

 don’t they?

I thought they did

 it was definitely in the last few eps, right?

 Lor:

 do they? maybe like in the middle of the ep they do?

but I wanted like a reverse. "our work is done" or something. or "we have shit to do" and they close the trunk and they're at the beach or something

 Mace: 

 YES

 [after the episode had ended] 

 Lor:

 so, given that Dean actually did go to hell, I guess his deal is fulfilled and Cas pulling him out didn't count as wiggling out of it? cause while Dean was making his deal I had a truly AWFUL AU idea of Cas pulling him out and Sammy goes back to being dead because Dean didn't fulfill the deal

 Mace: 

 LOR, NO

WHY

 Lor:

 IT'S NOT MY FAULT

 Mace: 

 YOU’RE THROWING MY SAMMY BACK INTO DEAD

HOW VERY DARE

 Lor:

 I AM NOT

Demons. DEMONS, MACE

 Mace: 

YOU had the idea, LOR

but it’s okay because your precious DEAN is OKAY i guess

 Lor:

 whistles. looks around innocently

 Mace: 

 (I can just hear Cas chiming in with “well, Sam IS an abomination…”)

 Lor:

 (Haaaaaahahahahahaha)
