Poor Sam! Poor Dean. And poor Lisa. Nobody is getting a break, are they?

I can't stand the thought of Sam being trapped in Hell, with Lucifer in his body. Just the things Lucifer might do, that might not physically hurt himself, but could hurt Sam...I'd rather be in denial, I think, and assume Sam spent about 10 minutes in Hell before Castiel or God or someone freed him.

Good story, and probably all too true.

This is Supernatural, of course no one gets a break.

Maybe it's my evil, Sam-whumping soul, but I find the idea of Lucifer in Sam and both in the cage fascinating. I wouldn't want a repeat of Dean's torture hell, but the psychological possibilities with Lucifer are wonderfully chilling.
