Thoughts about rift trauma... and Dean's struggle(?) with the decision to leave Lucifer behind

In Exodus 13x22, Dean IS indeed shouting to his "generals"

DEAN: Lucifer! Let's go! Cas, Ketch... show 'em how it's done.

(Side note// Lucifer looks completely bowled over by that, actually.)

Dean ushers Ketch and Cas to go. But one of these things is not like the others. In Dean's mind, perhaps Ketch (maybe Lucifer?) have EARNED their way back, but...

Cas is rift trauma.

Strategically, it makes more sense for Cas to stay with them and fight: with Sam, Dean, Gabe, Lucifer. Just like strategically, it made sense for Cas to be Lucifer's overseer at the camp and on the bus. Cas was, after all, temporarily stronger than Gabe. (Aside// For that matter, it makes sense for Jack to stay, too.)

BUT ANYWAY. My point is! Up till now, Cas was the literal bodyguard/bouncer of the group.

SEE:

But here, Dean can't handle that.

Not this time.

It's why, in the script, it's a more obvious beat with Dean and Cas. Cas gives Dean a fond look because Cas realizes that it's not a strategically sound move.

Cas realizes this, but he's relenting.

(Speculation// I think this implies that, on some level, just like how in the Tombstone script Cas ask, "Are you okay?" to Dean, Cas is on some level aware that his previous death... hurt Dean terribly.)

ANYWAY. Sweet detail here: Despite relenting on being willing to go through, Cas hangs back a bit, arm outstretched, making sure Jack, Mary, Bobby, and Charlie go before him:

Jack. Mary. Bobby. Charlie.

Only then does Cas go through.

(Which sets up a pretty nice contrast against Ketch and Lucifer, who are both, despite "being on the team," chomping at the bit to come through the rift mostly for their own safety.)

When he gets through, Cas immediately goes to check on Rowena, too:

ASIDE re Lucifer: I was talking the other day about how ultimately Dean's time as Demon Dean results in increased forgiveness towards those that manipulated/used him (i.e. Cain, Crowley, Amara specifically.) Which is why the Claire-Randy parallel… ...yadda yadda big, understanding hearts.

ANYWAY, I posited that it wouldn't surprise me if Dean is naturally/instinctively the type to forgive even the most horrific figures in life: maybe even figures like Azazel, Lucifer.

I feel like his treatment of Lucifer and Ketch above lends some weight to that idea. Specifically, the script and reaction shots make you wonder if Dean was indeed shaky on the whole "leave Lucifer behind" plan.

Was Dean cutting Lucifer some slack? I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility! He's forgiven others who killed and tortured loved ones, after all.

In the last bit of the script, there's a moment where Dean seems to be struggling with it pretty intensely, even:

Despite everything that happened, Dean wonders if maybe that was the wrong choice.

And Dean's morals... tend to have some unfortunate weight.

Other notes:

RE: Getting everyone home. Sam too was busy stressfully doing a head count:

SAM: "Mom, Bobby. Charlie, you're with them."

But when Lucifer gets held up by Sam, we see Dean looking, again, a little unsure about this?

Lucifer looks Dean's way too, like he's APPEALING to him. It's an interesting moment to me, because this episode starts out with Dean being the one screaming for Gabriel to, "Kill (Lucifer) him!"

Lucifer at first steps in front of Gabe to protect him. (The fear and cowardice ofc will win out after he's injured and after Gabe dies.)

After Gabe dies, Dean is horrified, but he's also seeming a bit guilty to leave overall. I do wonder about the complexities of Dean's inner conflict there...

The series plays so often with this seesaw of Dean being totally rigid (for example in this episode: saying KILL Lucifer, and then shown torturing people for information a la Endverse-style with Cas), but he's also... surprisingly bendy with extending mercy after ppl have put in effort to help or better themselves...

even Lucifer?

It's so lovely (and so very human).

EDIT: All that to say that, despite appearing very comfortable levying judgment, and like everyone in the series, despite having overcorrective moments of trauma/fear where he backslides and divvies out judgment according to a FIRM (hunting) code...

I think Dean agonizes over the moment-to-moment changes in situations and people, especially at later points in the series.

"Father, why eternal torment? Is it not cruel?

Is torture unending truly a fate fit for a fool?"

˗ˏˋ꒰ 💭 ꒱ . . . i was merely bored during class, so here you all have a silly romantic drabble with characters I believe match it.

delicacy. that was the word that best defined how he looked at you, touched you, loved you. he did everything with caution and subtlety, with an irrational fear of harming you with the slightest of a wrong move on his part. 

his words, few or abundant, made evident the love that he alone possessed for you. almost as if an adoration of your name was given by every sentence that came from his lips. 

his actions, slow and gentle or quick and fleeting, left a warm feeling, a desire for more loving touches between the two of you. 

his love for you... infinite like numbers, like time, like the universe itself. the passion he felt was deep like no other. a clear devotion to your person that could only make you blush like nothing else could ever do. 

he could be one of the most dangerous, most unpredictable beings and whatever one may say; but, for you, he was a mere lover lost in your undeniable beauty, one he was so determined to worship that he couldn't be deterred.
