No. NO!
You send Nick back to the ash heap of past seasons and leave him there! He was just a corpse Crowley was keeping around! There’s no reason he should be alive now, I don’t care what they say!
NO!
On the plus side, at least Young Lindsey Graham Demon isn’t the season’s secondary Big Bad.
UGH YES THANK YOU I was so angrily confused like wtf, Nick is gone, he’s in Heaven (or hell IDK wherever he ended up) his vessel was destroyed and this one was just a copy Crowley made. There shouldn’t be a soul in it.
And even if by some chance there were, the whole “archangel blades don’t kill the host” thing is beyond bullshit. I seem to be in the minority of actually having really enjoyed this ep (even if I desperately missed Dean, but listen, that was the whole point), but this plot hole was big enough to drive a truck through and I just … grrrrr.
YES!!! that is what confused me I just couldn’t put my finger on it!!! The only way I can see it not being a plot hole is if somehow Lucifer survived and is pretending to be Nick WHICH ALSO MAKES ME INCREDIBLY ANGRY AS WELL…and brings me back to my very first question: What is the status of Cas’ powers??
