Do you think a Roman senator ever threw on his toga when he was in a rush, didn't notice it felt heavier than usual, and midway through his speech the curia heard a tiny "meow"

Look, I know Lisa’s behavior re: letting Dean, someone she hasn’t seen in nearly a decade, skulk around her child’s birthday party is best explained by him being The baby-daddy.

But here’s the rub: (1) the angels didn’t even sniff towards Ben and (2) Lisa is (relatively) honest. During the year Dean was actively with her, she would have likely told him. (Cause it’s no small thing.) Especially under The Truth curse where she ranted about the loss of loved ones/hunting. (My take: It’s a cheeky…red herring. Ben was hungry for a father-figure, and Dean’s relationship to him parallels Bobby Singer.)

So while it is a truth that would be kinder to Lisa’s behavioral health/motivations/etc, the latter plot points don’t support it. Yeah, I agree that it actually makes better sense as an initial explanation for her behavior in her intro ep. But these latter points transform her behavior’s root cause, leaning towards her as a (possibly chronic?) caretaker type of person.

We do see that she is caring! She’s got a caretaker persona from her first ep, driving her to help her neighbor. She’s a good friend! Because of the later plot points, we can assume this caretaker/gratitude aspect of her character is more the driver of her actions than hiding a paternity.

Iatros

O Holy Dionysos, Heavenly Iatros, Good doctor who cures all, It has been said of You before: "Nothing can be so firmly bound - by illness, wrath, or fortune - that cannot be released by the Lord Dionysos." O God who heals and soothes, I pray You loosen the bonds of illness from my body, For I have done what I can, And I now leave it to the hands of the Gods. May You, with Your brother Apollon, And His Son, Asklepios, Healers and holders of medicine alike, Loose my body from painful bonds, So that breath can flow freely, So that life may be peaceful, So that I may be well to sing the praises of the Gods.
