Episode 13:
Cas in the woods. Spitting up blood.
Daylight. Kids find the body. think he's dead. Cas wakes and they run. Up to his feet. Back to the asylum. Lucifer! Where are you?
Woman skating on the sidewalk in Monroe City, Missouri. Crashes into a man who drops a wedding cake. I think I just fell for you. He'll catch her any time she falls. A man overlooks, smiling. Lucifer says nice job. Cupid.
He takes grace from Cupid. I need seconds. Where can I find more angels? Cupid doesn't know. Aren't many of us left. I'm not lying. Please, please... Lucifer tells him don't cry. you're only human, so you should be careful. Accidents can happen. He punches through his heart. Like that. Sorry.
Cas gets to Dean and Sam. Told them the story. Asmodeus had my phone. Cas tells them about Lucifer and the apocalypse world. That's why I met with Lucifer. Dean calls it stupid. Cas says it didn't seem stupid. Lucifer wanted to fight Michael. He was scared. But Asmodeus showed up. Then Lucifer tried to kill me. Sam asks about Mom. Cas says she's alive. All I know, I'm sorry.
Lucifer looks sick. He's dizzy. Nothing but humans here. Man stares at him. Lucifer is cold. And hungry. Am I hungry? Ewww. Spots a homeless guy.
Asmodeus not happy. The Brit is still there. Insults Asmodeus. So, take 2. Kill him. Kill the Devil? Asmodeus says nice angel blade to the heart, he'll go down. Probably. Before he refills the tank. And if he does? Then we're all dead.
Lucifer panhandling. Not having luck. They give to the other homeless guy. Who says it's your vibe. It's offputting. Lucifer says this isn't me. I don't need this crap. Being human sucks. Homeless guy says what's the alternative? Lucifer says don't get me started. Homeless guy asks if he's hungry. He's on crutches. Almost there. To the dumpster. The lasagna kills. Better the next day. His money is going in the leg fund. He's going to see Sister Jo. She can heal anything. Lucifer says she's a fake, they're all fake. Guy has seen it. There's a glow and you're cured. Really? Yeah.
Dean and Cas at the table. Long shot at best. Dean apologizes to Cas for not knowing Asmodeus was on the phone. Cas says it's okay. All that matters is getting Jack and your mother out of that place. I promised Kelly I'd protect her son. I intend to keep it. Prophet arrives. So, we nab Lucifer. Angel cuffs should work. Dean says they use Lucifer's grace to open the universes. Spell is on the angel tablet. Sam shows the demon tablet. They hope it mentions the spell, too. Prophet says the glyphs are nearly impenetrable. He needs chicken wings. Cas gets angel radio. Vessel was found mutilated last night. Who's killing angels?
Healer's place. Old woman with a walker pays for healing. She throws away her walker. Scarred man comes up next. Don't be afraid. She toches him. His skin smoothes. She shows him a mirror. You're whole again. He thanks her, crying. Lucifer watches from the back.
At the murder scene. Lucifer fed on this angel's grace.
Sister Jo counts the cash. We're closed. Come back tomorrow. Lucifer identifies her. You're an angel. She knows he's Lucifer. And she's not afraid. He's surprised. She says around here, good life ain't cheap. After the fall, all angels were desperate for housing. No long game. I took some care. Listened. A woman prayed for her dying husband. I traded his life for her vessel. Humans will do anything for life. I'm an excellent businesswoman. Lucifer shows the blade. She says it's not very cost efficient. Don't take all the grace. Give time for the angel to recharge, then rinse and repeat. She'd rather make a deal than die.
Sam asks the homeless guy if he's seen Lucifer. tells Sam about Sister jo.
Lucifer feeds on her neck. Whoo. Better? So much better. So much more fun than the last time. Had to kill that guy. 2 nights ago. All over angel radio. Anyone know you were coming here?
Impala stops at the church. Cas and the boys enter. And the Brit is here. Oh, it's only you.
Ketch says last time together, I saved your lives and you shot me. Doesn't that make us even? No. He's here to kill Lucifer. As are you, I assume. Sam asks who are you working for? Ketch says taking out Lucifer would be an enormous feather in the cap. Sam asks where is he? Ketch wants to team up. Cover more ground. Huzzah. Cas knocks him out. LOL. Dean puts him in the trunk? They find a photo of Sister Jo. Cas recognizes the angel. Sam wonders where the body is?
Phone buzz. Sam got a credit card notice. Diner. Lucifer wants another hit and she says we don't have to rush. Do it slowly. A little cut. He sucks out some grace and she holds him to her. Repeat. They fall to a bed. Motel. She says it's so strange. That final moment when I've lost enough grace I'm almost human. I feel emotions. Sensations. Things they must feel. Lucifer had it and didn't like it. I don't know how they keep going. She does. There'd be pain, but there's also hope. Love, even. Angels can only imagine. She envies humans. They can be anything. My job upstairs? I pushed a button. Counting souls. I had ideas but no one would listen to me. They'd just send me back to push my button. After the fall, when we lost our wings, I was liberated. Finally free. But you must know how that feels. Lucifer says no. I wanted to please a father I couldn't please. Now I'll be a father and probably screw it up like He did. He doesn't know why he said that. Stupid. Pretty soon I won't feel anything. More I do this, mmore me I'll feel. Back, baby. Then I'll find my son and the fun really starts.
Asmodeus told they found a prophet.
Cas? Donatello getting wings. Cas says Sam and Dean asked me to check in on you. Donatello talks about the demon tablet. He has found there's a spell to open the other world. Cas offers help. Donatello doubts it. He hopes he's in time, before anything happens to Jack or the boys' mom. Asmodeus tells him forget this, but anything you find on that tablet, you report to me. Run along now. Wow, didn't know he could mind control someone.
Pull up to the motel. Jo checked in last night. Boys head over.
Lucifer reading the motel Bible. Phone rings. Jo asked about her card. Sam called the room. Asks her to bring it to the office. She agrees. Cas confronts her. They ask about Lucifer. She says he's in the room. He wants to drain my grace. You have to help me. Dean says we will, but you have to help us. Jo knocks. Lord Lucifer, can you let me in? I forgot my key. Dean and Sam and Cas. Jo says they forced me to tell you how weak you are. Lucifer makes jokes. Sam tells her to go. Lucifer asks if they're going to kill him. Dean takes out the cuffs. Jo tosses Sam. We need to go. Lucifer wants to enjoy this a minute. Choking them. Ketch throws a bomb.
But Lucifer and Jo teleported away.
Ketch says you're welcome.
Jo says I help you, you help me. Lucifer says cool.
Dean says you just helped Lucifer escape. Ketch disagrees. He found the bomb in the weapons cache. They wonder about Jo and Lucifer. Ketch proposes pooling resources. Sam says why would we ever trust you? Ketch admits he's working for Asmodeus. Happy? Dean angry. Ketch says it's an opportunity. I can pass info to you. I know you think I'm a monster. But even I must draw the line somewhere and Lucifer free is my line. I know you want to kill me and can't forgive me, but I'm the lesser of at least 3 evils. Wait to murder me until after I prove useful. Hmm?
Lucifer says I know we've had our disagreements. Squabbles. but that's in the past... Meeting with the angels. He knows they're short on angels. If the dark side makes a move, you're screwed. You need more you. With Dad gone.... I was here when you were born. I saw how the old man did it. I will make angels. If you make me the unquestioned ruler of Heaven. You don't want to run the place. Angels were designed to follow, not lead. You need me. And icing on the cake? How would you like your wings back?
Donatello ate a lot of wings. Cas asks if they can trust Ketch? Sam and Dean say no. But we need him for now. And when we don't? Guess. Sam tells Don he's doing great. Made a lot of progress. Don blows up. I'm working through the ingredients. Sam stays calm. Cas worried.
Lucifer in Heaven with Jo at his side. Angels kneeling. Hail to the King, baby.
Ketch reports to Asmodeus. As good as I am, I can't beat the Devil at full power. Asmodeus made an errand. He found an artifact. A knife. Only known weapon capable of slaying an archangel. Blade is said to only be effective if wielded by an archangel. Meet Gabriel. His mouth is sewn shut!!!
Next ep - Cas and Jack. March 1. Family reunion.
