Supernatural, Season 13, Season Finale

I know it has been a long time since the Season Finale for the 13th season was aired. But since I had posted on almost every episode of this season, it felt kind of weird not to write about the Finale.

During the earlier seasons of the series, I used to worry over which of the main characters are going to die as soon as the show wound down towards the Finale. But since then many of them have died and come back again, all in one piece. Well, all except for Crowley. But then we all know why he ain't coming back. So he seems to be the exception to the governing rule that whatever is lost comes back - in the next season :-) My BP remains rock solid during the Finale these days.

The Billion Dollar question this time around was whether we will see the last of Lucifer. And whether he will stay dead. The first question was answered loud and clear as soon as Dean made a deal with Michael. I almost groaned at that. This guy seems hell-bent on making all the wrong choices. I am sure Dan Brown wouldn't have written 'Angels And Demons' in the universe that this Michael has come from. There seems to be virtually no difference between the two - except maybe for the wings. But Dean has always been the pig-headed one. Still, to be fair, with Jack's powers gone, there wasn't much left on the choice platter. I wish Rowena was around to use some spell or hex to make sure that Michael kept up his side of the bargain.

My second question can only be answered by the next season. But I am pretty sure that Lucifer will show up at the Winchesters' doorstep - sooner rather than later. Not sure how well Jack is going to take his human status. Maybe it will help him understand humans better. Maybe he will turn bitter at the turn of events. But with Lucifer gone, Sam, Castiel and Mary will have plenty of opportunity to mold Jack in a better person. This will also give Jack a chance to exorcise his demons and come to terms with his lineage.

It would be interesting to see how Sam, Castiel and Mary get Dean back. Looking forward to Season 14!
