Happy Holidays, everyone! Enjoy a short chapter of Lucifer ranting about Dean.
Episode Thirty Three - Sam, Interrupted
Taking a deep breath, Lucifer stared at the screen with the episode card being highlighted on the last episode in the disc they were watching. Seriously, they would start the 4th disc tomorrow. He felt this season was going faster than the last one, and most of it had been either hilarious or depressing.
He hoped tonight's episode was one of the funny ones because last night's episode was the worst thing ever for emotions.
He pushed play without saying a single word to Ella at his side, hoping that she wouldn't interrupt.
He paused it when the Winchesters were sitting in a psychiatrists office in a mental institute looking to get the monster roaming its halls by obviously checking themselves in. He laughed at the absurdity.
"Ah, this is great! Not the monster, that's a bad thing, but the Winchesters checking themselves in for psych treatment. Yes, they need it."
Ella patted his shoulder and grinned. "I think all the hunters need it, personally."
He nodded at that one, because truer words had never been spoken. He pushed play again just to hear what Sam says.
The grins on both their faces when the nurse said both of them were to stay in instead of just Sam, since they obviously shared the same 'delusion', made him laugh loudly. So, this was going to be another funny one. That was good.
He paused it again and smiled widely at the screen as the Doctor told Dean he had to stay away from Sam during group because it would do them good to be apart because their relationship was dangerously co-dependent. "Yes. You tell him, Doctor! Dean is scarily dependent on Sam and he is pulling Sam down with him. They do need time apart."
Ella frowned at him and poked him in the side. "Shush. Just push play already."
He pouted at her, before grinning and turning it back on.
He paused it when Dean said he was just raped. "Okay, that is not right at all. You had a psych session, that is not rape. Rape is a huge violation of your body and soul, not a therapy session. What the Hell is wrong with him?!"
"He meant it as a joke..." Ella said by her side, but her voice was small and not really into the words she was saying.
"You agree with me that what he said was very wrong."
She sighed. "Okay, yes, Dean making jokes about rape is wrong. And I don't like rape jokes."
"And yet you defend him for it."
She sighed and shook her head. "Just...turn it back on, Lucifer..."
He sighed and turned to glare at the picture of Dean on his screen. He pushed play wanting to see how big a hole Dean buried himself in this time.
He paused it again at the supposed end of the scene when a woman who was a complete stranger walked up to Dean and began making out with him and he thought it the best thing ever.
He threw his hands in the air. "You were basically just sexually assaulted with a kiss form a stranger and you enjoyed it. Okay, either Dean doesn't know that is not okay in the least, or he is a sex addict."
Ella rolled her eyes and punched him in the side. He bent over a little pretending to be winded, as Chloe wasn't around and she couldn't hurt him. "What was that for?"
"If he enjoyed it, it wasn't sexual assault."
"Riiiight, so if I just suddenly and without warning started kissing you and you suddenly decided you liked it, it wouldn't be sexual assault that I decided to just suddenly kiss you without your prior knowledge when we're obviously not in that type of relationship?"
Ella blinked and frowned, before leaning back in her seat and crossing her arms under her chest. "That's different..."
"Yeah, you're not fictional. There's the difference. Apparently that rule doesn't apply in fiction, even though it should, because this tells people its okay to just kiss random strangers without their consent."
Ells sighed and shook her head. "Just...push play already."
He did as told, because he was fed up with this episode already. Dean had been relatively good this season until just now.
He closed his eyes and groaned in utter horror for that poor nurse who had to put up with Dean exposing himself sexually to her and playing stupid. He accuses a psychiatrist of raping him by having a session and then he goes ahead and doesn't realise when he's actually being sexually assaulted and then goes ahead and sexually exposes himself to a stranger. It's like he does his level best just to piss him off in all ways sexual.
He didn't bother stopping it that time, as it was getting a bit much. He just hoped there were no more rape or sexual assault jokes in the damn episode.
He took it back, this was likely the most infuriating episode he had seen since Sex and Violence.
He rolled his eyes at Dean thinking he was the only one that could save the world, as if he doesn't dump the lives of every single person in the world on Sam's shoulders, because he blames his brother for the apocalypse because he let Lucifer out of his cage. He was really pissed off already so he didn't say anything to save himself the rant that would go on forever this night about how much he didn't like Dean.
Wow, now the sex addicted chick was going to Sam and backed him against the wall. At least it looked like he was trying to hold her back a little, and didn't look happy about it once she left.
He paused it after Dean found out that his therapist wasn't real and a figment of his imagination, making Sam's theory of him actually being fully crazy much more a fact than a theory. "Aww, Dean's actually having delusions now! Hah. Looks like Sam was right."
Ella punched him in the shoulder where she normally did that time and glared at him. "Shut up about Dean."
He shook his head. "Not until he stops being a crappy human being."
Ella glared harder and crossed her arms tighter where they were. He pushed play to look away from her and ignore that she was pissed with him yet again over Dean.
He blinked and paused it when the Wraith turned out to be the nurse. "Huh. Honestly, I did not expect that. I have no idea why I didn't expect her, but I didn't."
Ella snorted. "First time I watched it I thought the exact same thing Dean did. That it was Wendy."
He nodded. "Yeah. Wendy ended up dead though, by the wraith, who was actually the nurse. Who gave them both prostate checks. Heh."
Ella nodded, seeming to be more at ease now they were on the same page of humour again. "Yep. She was thorough in her check up after all."
He chuckled at that and nodded, before turning the show back on to see how it ended.
He winced at the last scene, and turned the tv off. "Okay. I didn't like this episode. Dean was an arse the entire way through and then given Sam advice that makes me think Dean wants Sam to be just like him. Which is basically just like their Dad. Which Sam has actively not been his entire life. Yes, he's angry. But even with that anger and rage, he's a decent person because he knows when not to act on it and when he can. Anger does not make you a bad person. Being an arsehole and acting on it by taking that anger out on everyone around you. That's what makes anger bad. But you don't need to and that's Sam."
Ella sighed loudly and got up. "I'm going home because I don't like this talk anymore. Not tonight anyway."
He nodded. "Fine. Go home and pretend to not care about Dean making rape jokes, even though you hate them."
With a loud growl of anger, Ella got up and moved her way to the lift to get out of his flat. He couldn't really care less, because Ella was proving his point. She was pissed off at him, and instead of taking that anger out on him, she was going home instead of acting on it.
He sighed and flopped down on the couch. He was so not in the mood for doing much of anything tonight.
He'll stay in and likely empty about half his personal bar.
That episode really upset him.
Note - Apart from Dean's attitude towards Sam and his anger issues and the rape jokes Dean makes in this episode, I actually kind of liked it. Mainly because I found the idea of these two in a psych ward interesting. I do think it done better in season 7.
Headcanon - Lucifer hates rapists and the act of rape more than anything, as he is all about consent. So, rape jokes are not something he likes at all. He is going to HATE the whole Lucifer/Kelly thing. And the rape jokes Lucifer makes towards Sam.
Headcanon - Ella has a lot of problems with psychiatrists and the whole psychological professions because of her childhood where she was forced to take anti-psychotics for hallucinations she doesn't actually have, because of Rae Rae. She found parts of this episode fun, but liked it maybe even less than Lucifer, but for totally different reasons. She didn't get the chance to tell him that night because she wanted out to not get into a yelling match with him.
