Quotes
Lucifer: What? What are you gawking at? Haven't you ever seen the Prince of Darkness before? Turn around.
Dean: Hey, there he is. Donny how're you doing?
Donatello: Uh, the usual. Bewildered.
Donatello: Uh, the usual. Bewildered.
Lucifer: What no eek! No spare me dark master? No quaking fear?
Sister Jo: Should I quake?
Lucifer: Yeah, most people sort of do.Sister Jo: After the fall, all the angels were a mess, desperate for housing. Any vessel would do. And they had no long game. I, on the other hand, took some care. I listened. A woman was praying for her dying husband. So we made a trade. His life for her vessel, she was grateful. I realized, humans are so desperate for life, they'd do almost anything, pay almost anything. So, ka-ching! I was a so-so angel, but turns out, I am an excellent business woman.
Dean: Alright, I say we take dickbag here back to the Bunker, find out what he knows, put a bullet in him, burn his bones and flush the ashes.
Castiel: I like that idea.
Castiel: I like that idea.
Sister Jo: It's always so strange. That final moment when I've lost just enough grace that I'm almost...
Lucifer: Human?
Sister Jo: I feel emotions. Sensations. Things they must feel.
Sister Jo: After the fall. When we lost our wings. I wasn't devastated. I was liberated. I was finally free. But you must know how that feels.
Lucifer: No. No, I always wanted to fit in. Please a father I couldn't please. And now I'm gonna be a father, probably screw it up like He did.
Lucifer: No. No, I always wanted to fit in. Please a father I couldn't please. And now I'm gonna be a father, probably screw it up like He did.
Ketch: I know you think I'm a monster-
Dean: Because you are.
Asmodeus: Beautiful innit? The only thing capable of destroying an archangel, the archangel blade.
Ketch: You'll forgive me, but my reading of the lore suggests that the blade is only effective if wielded by an archangel.
Trivia & References
The scene where the two young boys find Castiel and poke him with a stick recalls the movie Stand By Me where a group of young boys find a body in the woods.
Donatello: And so the spell to open this rift is on the angel tablet.
Sam: Yeah, they-they are. On Earth-Two.
- Earth-Two is an alternate universe found in DC Comics, and was home to the Golden Age superhero versions of the Flash (Jay Garrick) and Green Lantern (Alan Scott).
Donatello: Chicken wings. Heavy lifting like this requires real brain fuel. My analysis of the half-lives of the 33 arsenic isotopes required about... twenty-five buckets.
- The half-life of the 33 arsenic isotopes can be found here.
Anael, also known as Haniel, is an archangel from Jewish lore. The name probably derives from Hebrew word for joy - hana'ah.
Asmodeus grabbing the chicken wing and discarding it can be seen as yet another meta reference to fandom's nickname for him: "Evil Colonel Sanders."
Lucifer: Hail to the king, baby.
- "Hail to the king, baby" is the catchphrase of Ash Williams of the Evil Dead series, first used in the film Army of Darkness. The phrase would later be adopted by video game character Duke Nukem.
Minutiae
Richard Speight Jr. does not appear until the end credits, presumably to preserve the surprise of Gabriel's return. This has previously been done with re-appearances of Crowley and Bobby Singer.
The backdrop for "Pray with Sister Jo" was previously used in Supernatural: The Musical! featured in 10.05 Fan Fiction. Fans speculated that the musical was now being performed at community theaters.
Lucifer pointing out the inaccuracies and pondering if anyone fact checked the Bible is a callback to 5.06 I Believe the Children Are Our Future, when Castiel reveals that the "Bible gets more wrong than it does right."
The picture Sam shows the homeless man of Lucifer is a blown-up shot of the picture given to Sam by Dr. Hess in 12.22 Who We Are.
