Occupation | Kid |
Episode(s) | 3.02 The Kids Are Alright 3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me (referred to) 5.17 99 Problems (referred to) 5.22 Swan Song (seen in the distance) 6.01 Exile On Main St. 6.02 Two And A Half Men |
Ben Braeden is the son of Lisa Braeden, a woman Dean once spent a weekend with in 1999. Lisa and Ben live in Cicero, Indiana. Though Dean suspects he is Ben's biological father, Lisa says that Ben's father is a man she met in a biker bar - "I had a type - leather jacket, couple of scars, no mailing address."
Based on Dean's comment that he hooked up with Lisa eight years ago, and that he thinks he may have fathered Ben, this would make Ben 7 years old when we first meet him in 3.02 The Kids Are Alright, around 10 when Dean returns to Lisa in 5.22 Swan Song, and 11 in 6.01 Exile On Main St.
Contents
3.02 The Kids Are Alright
When Dean drops in to see Lisa while investigating a case, it is Ben's seventh birthday party. Dean meets Ben and is struck by his familiar rock-music loving, girl ogling ways, but Lisa assures Dean that he is not Ben's father. Later Dean helps Ben out in an encounter with some bullies. Although his advice - to kick the kid in the nuts - doesn't get Lisa's approval, Ben hugs Dean in thanks.
Later Ben is one of the children taken by a mother Changeling, and one of her offspring imitates Ben and starts feeding on Lisa. Dean and Sam rescue all the children and kill the head Changeling, destroying the imitation Ben. Dean is impressed by Ben's coolheaded behavior during the rescue, having put Ben in charge of helping the other children out a window.
3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me
While in Dean's subconscious, Sam and Dean see a vision of Lisa, who invites Dean to join her in an idyllic picnic scene - "Come on. We only have an hour before we have to pick Ben up from baseball."
5.17 99 Problems
When Dean is preparing to acquiesce to the angels' demands that he become Michael's Vessel in order to end the Apocalypse, he visits Lisa, who has moved to a new home. Dean tells her:
Dean: I have no illusions. I know the life that I live. I know how its going to end for me. Whatever. I’m okay with that. But I wanted you to know, that when I do picture myself happy, it’s with you. And the kid.
Lisa mentions that Ben is at baseball.
5.22 Swan Song
Dean returns to Lisa after the showdown at Stull Cemetery, and we see Ben at the dinner table with Dean and Lisa.
6.01 Exile On Main St.
According to Dean, he is surprised Lisa took him in after the events in Stull Cemetery, when he was grief stricken, drinking too much, and spending months trying to work out how to save Sam. He has been living with Lisa and Ben for about a year when a Djinn attacks.
Dean takes Lisa and Ben to Bobby's for safety, and is regretful that he came into their lives, but Lisa tells him he's been a great parent to Ben, and that its been the best year of her life.
6.02 Two And A Half Men
After the attack by the Djinn, Dean has insisted he, Lisa, and Ben move house again. Dean is hypervigilant to danger and doesn't want Ben or Lisa to leave the house; however, he doesn't want their lives to be the same as his was raised by John, and he yells at Ben for wanting to learn how to shoot a gun.
Ben: But I don't get it. You had your own rifle when you were my age.
Dean: Shut up about the freaking gun, okay!
Dean: Ben, mark my words. You will never, ever shoot a gun, ever.
Ben: I know what's going on. You think something might be coming for us.
Dean: There's nothing coming for us.
Ben: I could do what you do. You could teach me how to shoot-
