Episode Twenty Nine - The Curious Case of Dean Winchester

Lucifer felt relaxed that Friday night. Tomorrow he had promised the club to do 3 sets instead of two because he was really in the mood for music right now and tonight was the same deal. It was more a treat to himself rather than the patrons of the club but who cared. Ella had already promised to stay for at least one of them, even though it meant starting their watch of Supernatural a little later than normal.

Ella was already bouncing in her seat in excitement, but at least she didn't want his wings out that night. It took him over an hour to unruffle the feathers she had laid on. He glanced at her, surprised by her enthusiasm.

"Are you really that much of a fan of tonight's episode?" he asked.

She turned to him, a grin that looked to light up the damn room on her face. "This episode, nope. Tomorrow's episode, oh hell yes. I really want to see your reaction to the end of that one. But until then, we have this. Push play. The sooner we get this episode out of the way with, the sooner we can go downstairs, party and listen to music and get to sleep. I am going to look like a maniac at work tomorrow."

He nodded at that. He had no doubt she would if she was acting like this now. "Okay. By the way, why do you work weekends?"

She crossed her arms under her chest and shrugged. " I enjoy my job and it makes me feel like I am helping people. It's a good thing. Leave me alone for working weekends."

He chuckled at that, but left her alone. Instead he reached for the remote, turned it towards the television and pushed the start button to get it going.

He paused it after the intro and stared at the Supernatural logo for a bit. "Wow, okay. He just turned old real fast. That is weird and kind of worrying. Does that happen in humans?"

Ella snorted and shook her head. "No. I mean, from your point of view probably because you are immortal, but for us, nope. Most of us get to almost 100 now. Age has risen a bit. People are now living longer because our health is more understood now."

He nodded at that, glad he wouldn't have to watch any of his friends wither and die from young to old and dead in a matter of seconds. That is frightening to even think of.

He pushed play because this episode was beginning to freak him out a little and he wanted it over quickly.

Ella hummed at his side at the age of the guy being stated and he paused to turn and look at her. "What?"

She shook her head. "Nothing much, it's just he was younger than me. I mean wow, think of that. People dying of old age when you are still young and they are younger than you."

He raised his eyebrows at that and nodded. "I can see how that would be weird, yeah."

She grinned. "I always forget little details like that, you know? I'm not the one here with the eidetic memory."

He grinned and nodded, before turning back to the television. He didn't push play though. He did tilt his head to the side and worry his brow in confusion. "Wait, the title of the episode. Does Dean get the super aging done to him? Oh hell yes, I am ready for this episode."

Ella at his side laughed. "Yeah I thought you'd like that when you saw it."

He grinned and pushed play. He was now excited to watch the rest of this episode and it had already started. This season was turning out so far to be his favourite. Even with the depressing material in it.

He frowned at how sad Bobby looked after he hung up. He paused again because that was just not right. "Depressed Bobby needs some love. I want to hug him."

Ella laughed again and shook her head. "Dude, you're Lucifer. Why would he want to be hugged by you?"

He stopped and considered that, before shaking his head. "Oh, yeah. He would really hate me. Seeing as I am the big bad of all big bads, apparently..."

Ella patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. The Depression won't kill him or anything. He gets better."

He sighed and leaned back into the couch, glad to hear that. He was seriously getting worried about Bobby. He pushed play again.

He paused it when he heard it is done by poker playing for years instead of cash. "Ooh. Witchcraft?"

Ella bumped against his shoulder gently. "Yeah. Witchcraft."

He grinned. "Ooh, I like witchcraft episodes. They're fun. Like cursed objects and the Trickster."

Ella grinned widely back at him. "Yep."

He pushed play, because this just got a whole lot more interesting.

Even though Ella had told him that Bobby would be fine, he was worried that he was going to lose his favourite. Especially since Ella told him it wouldn't be Depression that killed him. Shit.

He laughed and Ella laughed with him at Sam's grin and "It's just like Grumpy Old Men" line. Also, he thought that the old man playing Dean was doing a pretty good job of it, if not fully right. But then again, he thought that of the kid actors who play them too. Especially when eye colour doesn't match up. Dean has green eyes, not brown or blue.

Shaking his head he went back to paying attention to what was going on in the show.

He laughed again at the woman there to clean up giggling at Dean and thinking him an adorable old man for hitting on her, like Dean habitually does with every woman he thinks is hot. Yes, he definitely liked this episode.

He paused it again when Dean said he liked the witch after the witch had stolen a car from a guy who thought he had just killed him. "Wow, that was a dick thing to say. Yet again, these two do habitually steal cars if they're without Baby, but they do that out of necessity, not for fun. Also they don't pretend to get run over so they could steal the car. He was doing so well this episode too. Then he has to show the world how much of a dick he is all over again."

Ella hit him on the shoulder. "Shut up complaining about Dean and push play already."

He rolled his eyes but did push play.

He grinned at Dean having trouble climbing stairs because of his age and found it to be karma at work.

A lot more of the episode went on before he said or did anything to the program. In fact, it wasn't until Sam won his game that he paused it again, because it was a good hand to have had. And it was nice that Sam thought the woman was a good witch and that it was disturbing to see her cry.

He did pause it again soon afterwards, when Patrick and the woman played their own game for her years, because she was done and she lost, effectively killing herself. He stared at the screen, oddly hurt by that. "Is...is it right to be sad over this? I mean he is going around killing people by making them age really fast, or unage really fast sometimes. But it was clear he really liked her if not actually did love her and didn't want her to die. Yet he still played and she still got her wish and Patrick was upset after it was said and done."

Ella leaned against him and sighed. "Yeah, Lucifer, I'm pretty sure that's normal. I feel the same way. It's sad and at least this episode does go to show you that not all witches are bad."

He nodded. "Yeah, it did do that. Okay, the episode must be near the end now. No more stopping I think. This episode was weirdly engaging for me."

Ella laughed at that. "Yeah, I could tell by long stretches before you said anything there."

He smiled and pushed play, ready to see how this one ended.

He stopped it after the episode had finished and he stared at the blank screen for a minute. "You know, I hate that Bobby is suicidal, but I am glad that he still has Sam and Dean. I mean, Bobby has basically adopted these two in all but official terms, so hey. They're now his kids. And Dean's right, he shouldn't check out like that. I really didn't like hearing he wanted to blow his brains out. That's just...that's sad too."

Ella patted him on the arm. "Yep, I understand that perfectly. Bobby should definitely not commit suicide. So come on, music tonight."

He sighed and got up. "Yep, music. That will cheer me up from that depressing ending. Yet again, it was also a hopeful ending, so that helps."

Ella nodded and got up herself, before she walked toward the lift. "Yep, so come on. Hopeful songs tonight or the next set."

He grinned. "Yes, hopeful songs."

He was definitely liking this series a lot, regardless of the deep emotions and downturns it took in that regard.

And he was now beginning to get all excited for tomorrow's episode since Ella had hyped it up for him.

He hoped he liked it.

Note - I am the one who got oddly engaged in the episode and forgot to pause to write things out as I went through it for this episode. Ooops! So, Lucifer did the same. It makes sense. Sort of.

Headcanon - Dean likes this witch because he is a man, and men who are witches are oddly not around much in this show. I remember only 4 off the top of my head, and one of them is Crowley. Yeah :P

Headcanon - Lucifer usually sticks to a theme for his music during his sets.
