Episode Thirty Seven - Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
When Ella told him the title of the episode they would be watching that Saturday night, he laughed, because it sounded ridiculous. "Dean men can so wear plaid. Especially if they are a hunter in this universe."
Ella laughed at that one and nodded. "Yep. But usually they're also burned on a pyre for a Hunter's funeral, so technically they get burned in their plaid until no plaid exists."
He frowned at that, but nodded. "True. This one sounds fun."
Ella winced. "It's a good episode, I think anyway. But it can get pretty depressing in parts. Because of the subject matter."
"The dead, yes. I get that form the title. Zombies?"
Ella waves her hand in front of her. "Eh, sort of and sort of not."
He rolled his eyes. "Well, that's helpful. I'm going to start it now, because I am now interested."
Ella grinned at him. "Good."
He pushed play to get it started.
He paused it at the splash screen and grinned. "Ooh, looks like zombies to me, expect that guy looked shocked and kind of scared and confused when he popped out of his grave."
Ella nodded at that. "Yeah, he did look confused didn't he? And you know zombies in this universe, you've seen some of them already."
He grinned. "Yeah, killing machines that are brought back by someone and go rogue and on rampages. This dead guy, Clay, he looked like he was killing that guy for a reason other than bloodthirsty rage of dead. He looks alive again."
Ella shrugged. "I actually don't remember if they have critical stats or not. I can't remember if they actually came back sort of alive, or still all dead but for being walking around."
"Huh," Lucifer replied. "And another thing, how does getting out of a grave like Clay did at any way possible? He'd have to break the coffin he was in and then shove his way through layers of dirt. Dean did it and I still don't know how he did it either."
Ella laughed and shook her head. "I have no idea, dude. No idea at all. People I know that die stay dead."
He nodded in agreement with that and pushed play, interested already in this episode. He wanted to know if this guy Clay was alive again, sort of alive again or still dead but walking around.
He paused it when he found out Clay killed that guy because he was the one who killed him. "Huh. This is fascinating. Not only does this guy see the dead walking, but he isn't even fussed about it. In fact he seems rather proud of Clay for coming back to life and killing his killer. This is Bobby's town too. This is weird but in such a good way."
Ella grinned. "Yep. I love how the Winchesters are like "This guy is dead, why do you not find that in any way strange?"
Laughing, Lucifer nodded. "Oh yeah, that's hilarious."
He pushed play again to get to hear more, because he was already loving this oddly named episode.
He paused it when Sam got his card out with Bobby's number on it, because this was his town. People would know him. He rubbed his forehead and sighed. "Sam, you're an idiot."
Ella laughed at his side and nodded gleefully at that. "Yep!"
He grinned. "I do like this sheriff though. She is doing a great job, being suspicious of FBI gents believing a guy was killed by a dead guy."
Ella nodded. "Yeah, Jody is great. And oddly still alive. She was supposed to have her own girls hunter team spin off show and everyone was looking forward to it, but it got dumped for a remake of Sabrina."
He winced at that. "Ouch. Sounds like it would be a good show. Also I am glad to see that at least one person stays alive in this crazy world."
Ella nodded and grinned. "Oh yeah. She also picks up strays."
He frowned at that. "Strays?"
Ella grinned widely at him. "Shh, push play. Spoilers will be for much later on."
He rolled his eyes but did as he was told and pushed play.
He paused it again once they got busted for not being actual federal agents but... "Wait. Why did she not arrest them for impersonating FBI agents?"
Ella shrugged and shook her head. "No idea, she's usually on point for kicking ass, but I think it is because she thought they were plotting something and that they were just playing dress up cosplayers and not actually fully impersonating agents."
He nodded. "Ah, okay. That sort of makes sense. I think."
Ella snorted. "Dude, none of this makes sense, even when it does."
He tilted his head to the side, before shrugging and nodding at that. "True." He pushed play again to see how Bobby is doing.
He paused it again once Sam and Dean were arrested and stared at the screen. "Huh, the guy definitely looks dead, but he is walking and talking and acting like he probably did when he was alive. He was even pissed off and didn't attack them. This is not zombies. At least, not normal ones. Is this something like that thing at the beginning of the fourth season with the ghosts that are Witnesses. Because that was cool and this is cool. I like this."
Ella nodded. "Trust me, it gets worse."
He grinned. "Of course it does, or otherwise it wouldn't be an episode."
She laughed at that and pointed at the screen. He took the hint and pushed play again.
He paused it when he saw that Karen, Bobby's wife he killed when she was possessed by a demon and didn't know how to stop it, was one of the zombies, and she was cooking dinner for him and the boys. "Oh... Oh no. Please don't say Bobby has to kill his wife again. I think I get where the depressing comes into this episode. That's heartbreaking. Poor Bobby."
Ella shifted at his side and sighed softly. "Trust me, it gets worse."
He stared at her for that. "Worse? How does it get worse than Bobby having to kill his dead wife again."
She shook her head and pointed at the screen. "Trust me, you'll soon find out."
He frowned at that, but took the hint again and pushed play to get the program running again. He was getting oddly nervous about the dead being killed in this episode, because so far Karen is being nice and making everyone a late dinner.
He didn't want Bobby to have to kill her all over again.
He paused it at Jody's little boy. "Oh. Oh dad no. The sheriff's kid came back to life after he died? Oh I get the it gets worse now."
She nodded at his side. "Oh yeah. And trust me, it gets worse."
He groaned and buried his head in his hands. "Stop saying that. You're making me nervous and I like Karen so far. She's dead but she is so good for Bobby."
Ella sighed and shakes her head. "Just watch, will you?"
He sighed himself and turned back to the TV to push play and get it back on already.
He paused it and closed his eyes when the woman who came back to life ended up going feral zombie and eating her husband. "Oh no. That child. Kate. Yep, they're going to have to die. Preferably before they go feral and eat someone."
Ella sighed and nodded. "Yep. Like I said, this episode is good but depressing."
He nodded. "I get that. It truly is. Also, half the episodes this season have been good but depressing. This is probably the most depressing season I have seen. On anything, ever."
She nodded. "Pretty sure there is more depressing out there now, but yeah, it is pretty damn depressing."
He pushed play just to get this over with and see what actually did happen.
He paused it once Bobby killed Karen again and sighed. "Holy shit, I don't know what is worse, the thought of Jody having to save the town after knowing both her husband was eaten by her dead son and her son was shot and killed by Sam to stop him eating the town, or Bobby killing his wife after she basically begged him to, because she understood she was turning evil and didn't want to eat him."
"The kid and Jody having to save the town. Bobby is self contained. Because his wife wasn't willing to eat him, he could kill her when he was ready. And he did. Jody has to go on, while Bobby can stay at home holding his dead wife's hand."
He winced at that and nodded. "Yeah, I'll agree with that, but Bobby is the character I know and love and I don't want him to be hurting any more than him having been stuck in the wheelchair."
Ella sighed and nodded. "Yeah, his life sucks. All hunter's lives suck."
"Amen to that," he replied, and pushed play, wanting to know how this one ends.
He laughed at the blood splatter on the camera lens when Sam and Jody came to Bobby's house to kick some zombie butts. Yeah, he truly did like Jody. She was awesome as a character, and apparently a woman who is still alive come season 14. Nice.
He didn't pause it again until it ended. Afterwards, he pushed stop and turned the television off. He stared at the screen for a minute before saying a word. "So, this whole episode with the zombies coming back to life, being normal and then going feral and killing their families was in an effort to kill Bobby? No wonder the zombies at the end rushed for the scrap yard. Ouch. Poor Bobby. He's helping the Winchester boys, so he has a hit out on him too. Damn."
Ella nodded and patted his shoulder. "Yep, and it sucks. But on the other hand, depressing but awesome episode."
He nodded. "Agreed with that. And I have a set to play in a half hour to help raise my mood a bit, thankfully. Got a list already made for songs I am going to play. Are you staying?"
She shook her head. "Nope, going to go binge season 2 with Dan and Charlotte."
He grinned at that. "Ah, yes of course. You will soon be caught up to me."
She nodded. "Yep, then they can come any night they want."
He sighed at that. "More company would be good. We can have a Supernatural week going on."
Ella laughed at that. "We already have that, it would just be adding more people."
He nodded. "True. Well, I have got to go and get ready for tonight. I will see you tomorrow."
She smiled at him in the cheeky way she had. "Yep. At church."
He rolled his eyes. Sundays were the worst. "Yes at church. Go on. Go home and binge more of the show."
"Oh, I will. Night, Lucifer."
"Night Ella."
He watched her leave, before getting up to go to his room to put on his jacket he had left on his bed.
Time to get ready for another set.
Note - Lucifer doesn't react to the dead kid in this because he doesn't really have an attachment to Jody or her kid. He doesn't feel the same way towards the dead that humans do. Mainly because he deals with souls, not bodies. Pretty sure have said that one before, but I will say it here again because of the content and his not pausing for dead kid and killing said dead kid again.
Note - I keep forgetting just how depressing some of these episodes are until I watch them again and I am like D: Whyyy?
Headcanon - Don't remember if it was in the episode or not so, Lucifer set this one up personally with Death. Which I find kind of hilarious. Let's just set Death on Bobby because he just won't die. And it backfires. Lucifer - 0, Humanity - 1.
Possibly Unpopular Opinion - I have not watched the new Sabrina show, mainly because I used to watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch and like that it was a silly high school comedy with witches. Wasn't really a fan of it, but it was fun.
