There's another Dean rant in this one. Ella is so done with it.


Episode Forty - Point of No Return

"So," he said as Ella flopped down on the couch beside him, looking happy and calm. He had no idea if that was a good thing or not when it came to this show, because she normally looked like that during episode starts. "Let me guess, this one is just as depressing as most of the episodes this season."

Ella laughed at her side and shook her head. "Spoilers. But probably. I don't remember much of this episode, but what I do remember is pretty depressing yes."

He rolled his eyes. "Of course. So! What's this one called then?"

"Point of No Return," Ella said, grinning wickedly at him.

He sighed and closed his eyes because that did not sound good, especially with Dean running off to say yes to Michael as fast as possible.

When he opened them, he pushed start on the episode to get it up and running.

He laughed all the way through the first scene before the splash screen, because Zachariah complaining of being bad at his job was hilarious. He did feel sorry for the poor humans that got caught in his elation at being put back on the job he lost though.

He paused it while Sam was trying to convince Dean to not say yes to Michael to stare at the door. "Wow, seriously, that motel has 100 or more rooms?"

Ella stared at him, turned to the screen with the number 100 on the door and snorted in abated laughter. "Holy shit, that place must be huge. Either that or it is room 0 on the bottom floor?"

He frowned. "There shouldn't be a room 0. A 101 would make sense then, but usually it is just numbers, and not over 100. Not where I have seen motels anyway."

Ella nodded. "Hotels are a whole different thing."

He grinned at that. "Yeah, a hotel with over 100 rooms wouldn't phase me, though it would be big. But not unexpected."

She nodded again. "Yep, now push play. This was a ridiculous thing to stop for."

He winked at her. "Just doing my job of annoying you."

So far he has enjoyed this episode. It's fun and the music playing in the background to Dean packing made him grin, not sad. It was ridiculously not Dean in any way.

He paused it again when Dean said if fictional him burned down the place, it would be his fault. "Umm, how?"

Ell shrugged. "I have no idea. You know Dean and guilt for ruining things. That includes the world during the apocalypse."

He nodded. "Well, maybe he should have not broken the first seal and kick started the whole thing and then goes on to blame it all on Sam."

He got frowned at for that. "Okay, that's weird that if the world burns down it's his fault, but he blames Sam for starting the world burning down to begin with. Oh, wait, no it's not."

He grinned. "Yes it is. That's exactly what he's doing."

Ell rolled her eyes and punched him. "Push play will you, I don't want to argue about Dean doing stupid stuff again."

He nodded at that, because neither did he. He pushed the play button.

"Hah, told!" he stated, when Bobby screamed at Dean that the reason he didn't kill himself was because he promised Dean he wouldn't give up on life. Just as Dean was doing. "Guilt trip him, yes."

Ella punched him again. Maybe one day she will notice it didn't actually do anything to him.

He paused it and blinked at the screen. "Oh. Oh no. And Adam has no blood in him from Mary, which is Lucifer's line, obviously, which means he can be used as a vessel for Michael, just as Dean is. Shit! I understand the title of this episode now..."

Ella laughed at his side. "Oh yeah, no big surprise about that. Except for the hole Adam being brought back to life after being cremated."

He nodded. "Yeah. This is bad. Now they have two idiots ready to jump at saying yes to big fictional bro's assholery."

Ella grinned and nodded. "Yep. Push play."

He rolled his eyes but did as he was told.

He paused it again after Sam had his talk with Adam in the kitchen over beer that remained unopened. "Wow, Adam as his true self is a dick. Is it odd that I liked Ghoul Adam better? Ghoul Adam was nicer than this kid, and he tried to eat Sam."

Ella nodded. "Hey, at least Ghoul Adam had an excuse for eating Sam. It's just what Ghouls do. This Adam is just scared and on a mission from Heaven and wants to see his mom again. He's pissed that he is being kept from his mission from the guys he was told are the bad guys. You know, besides the devil."

He snorted at that. "Oh yeah, Sam and Dean are just as bad as fictional me is. Totally."

Ella laughed at that one. "Yep!"

He pushed play again after that, eager to see where this was going.

He rolled his eyes when Dean said he was tired of fighting who he was supposed to be. "Oh shut up. You are exactly what you are vessel or not. A douche who likes to kill things and is pissed he has an angel after him wanting to wear him to his prom."

He got hit on the shoulder again for that and a finger pointed at the screen. He rolled his eyes but got the point and began paying attention to what was happening on screen again.

He paused it and put the remote down so he didn't accidentally break it when he went to ball his hands into very tight fists to stop himself from punching the screen. "Umm, who's the self righteous one here, Dean?"

Ella grimaced at his side. "No."

He glared right back at her. "No? Dean just outright stated he doesn't trust his own brother with anything, including saving his life, because he has no faith in him, but that isn't new. He's always been that way. But now, he's saying he is going to say yes to Michael, so that when Sam inevitably goes dark side, because he expects Sam will because he is weak to him, he is doing it just so he can kill Sam and Lucifer together when Sam inevitably gets taken over. He's made the decision to say yes to kill his brother, and the devil is a bonus."

Ella stared at him. "That's not what he said!"

He folded his arms and stared at her. "Really? Well then, explain to me what he said."

"He said he didn't want Adam to have to say yes to Michael and stop Lucifer."

"Lucifer, who is currently still in Nick and plodding along just fine in a makeshift vessel. He isn't pestering Sam like Michael is either as far as we know, because all of it is based mainly around Dean saying yes. Dean has given up on Sam and wants to pre-emptively say yes just so he can stop him if something that might not even happen happens."

"And what about Adam?"

"The only thing Adam is relevant in this conversation for is him being Deans younger brother, who happens to be in the same position he is. Of course he would prefer himself to make the sacrifice, because he is self righteous. That's the whole reason he was raised from hell, remember. Blood of the righteous in Hell. Dean doesn't fit the criteria for Righteous. He does fit it for self righteous. He had no right to put his own faults on Sam and then tell him he was going to kill him."

Ella glared. "Fine, Dean is evil and wants the world to burn now because Sam is worse than the devil."

He rolled his eyes. "I didn't say he was evil. He's not. Though I bet at one stage he does become evil. Because Dean does have it in him. But so does Sam. So does every human blundering about on the planet. That's not so much a character flaw as a species flaw."

Ella folded her arms under her chest and glared at the screen. "Just push play again, alright? I am fed up with this same argument over and over again."

He frowned. "It's not the same argument. It's lots of little arguments about your fave brother on this show."

She sighed and pointed at the screen. "You don't pick up the remote, I will."

He frowned, and picked it up. He was in charge of the remote and she knew that. No one stole from the devil without bad things happening to them. He pushed play just to stop her from talking anymore.

He grinned and watched gleefully as Castiel beat the shit out of Dean for giving up on everything. "Yes, you beat him black and blue, Cassie. You tell him like it is."

Ella punched him again, and he didn't even bother to make a reaction for her that time. It was about time Cassie did something, anything, about Dean for this mess.

He grinned at Dean waking up chained to the bed. "Hah. yes. That will stop you running off like a coward."

Ella didn't bother punching him that time. Instead she tried pinching. It worked just as well for her.

He paused it after Castiel went into the warehouse and carved a sigil to get rid of angels upon his vessel and used it. "Why?! Cassie, no. That was stupid."

"He got rid of the other angels."

"Yeah, and himself. Doubly so. Since he was the sigil. That's going to have consequences."

Ella grimaced. "Yes, yes it is..."

He rolled his eyes at her being more quite than normal and pushed play again.

He paused it right near the end scene to sigh. "Oh, great. Dean didn't save his arse, so Adam said yes."

Ella rolled her eyes. "What else were you expecting? Happily ever after?"

He shrugged. "No. But it was awesome to see Zachariah finally die."

Ella grinned a little at that. "Yeah, that's true."

He nodded turned back to the screen and pushed play.

He let the last scene play out and grinned. "Well, it's about damn time you decided to put some faith in Sam. About bloody time. Also, that didn't end on a down note. It ended on a high one. Dean didn't say yes and both of them are ready to kick major angel butt."

Ella grinned at him and nodded. "Yes, yes it did. And yes they are. I've got to go though. I need to get some work done at home before sleeping tonight."

He grimace. "Wow, have fun with that."

She nodded. "Oh I will. Blood work is all the rage for me."

He laughed. "Yes I know."

He waved to her as she got up and entered the lift to go down. She waved back, a small mile on her face.

It seemed the fight they had was over now and they were back to friendly stages. That was good. He didn't want to fight with her, especially over a fictional character.

On the other hand, if Dean actually did end up having faith and believe in Sam, then maybe he would stop being such an arse.

That would undoubtedly make both of them happy.


Note - I barely remember this episode both times I have watched it now, so I can't even remember what this one was about... All I remember is Adam was raised from the dead, Zachariah used hm to get to Dean and Dean kills his angel ass so good. I really liked the scene in the pretty room. It was awesome.

All up, this episode is pretty much forgettable to me. I didn't even remember Castiel beating Dean and yelling at him about how he gave up everything for him and this is the thanks he gets until l edited this chapter. How the hell did I forget that scene? That and Castiel using his vessel as an angel banishing sigil and the scene that follows next time he's around...but first up, Hammer of the Gods. The chapter that is goign to have a mob after me, if I didn't already have one, that is.

Oh wow, suddenly remembered the scene with Castiel sleeping in Baby and Dean thinking it cute, but Sam being worried because Angels don't sleep. I love that tiny little scene, because it says a lot about all three of them. That and I may have a tiny thing about sleep in things. Seriously, have you read how many things I write which end up with someone sleeping? Yeah, there's a lot of it out there :P
