The Slow Lose

He knows Lucifer better than anyone realises.

But possessing and killing a famous rock musician? This is unpredictable behaviour, and Sam has no idea what Lucifer's next move will be, or what his motivations are.

Lucifer's drifting aimlessly; without a plan, or an endgame, and somehow that's worse than ever before. He's a ticking bomb waiting to explode, and they have nothing to go on; no leads, no trails. Nada.

Except that you don't leave adversaries alive to watch your show unless it's your greatest production to date.

Sam's guts are frozen solid; all he sees ahead is more failure.

A/N: There was a lot to enjoy in this episode (I mean those leather jackets - need I go on?) but I really enjoyed Lucifer's final speech, and the ominous feel it brought; somehow seeing Lucifer with no endgame and no plan is so much more terrifying. I'm really enjoying Lucifer this season, he's feeling much more menacing, and I can't help but wonder what's to come.

Except that you don't leave adversaries alive to watch your show unless it's your greatest production to date. I love the way you put this--and the idea that Sam and Dean would have survived this moment, in part because Lucifer so badly needs them to witness whatever he does next, is chilling. MWAH. <33333

Thank you! I'm happy that you mentioned that line, because that is certainly what it felt like to me, and it made sense too, that that would be why Lucifer didn't kill them, despite having the chance! ♥
