Added DiffLines:

* SecretMessageWink: Dean is pretending to give in to the demands of the [[LightIsNotGood evil angel]] Zachariah to become the host for the ArchangelMichael. While Zachariah recites a spell to summon Michael, Dean looks over at Sam and gives him a winking nod to assure him he's got an ace up his sleeve.

Added DiffLines:

* DeathSeeker: Dean, big time. His plan to say yes to Michael is treated as suicide and his behavior, saying goodbye, packing up things and making arrangements for loved ones, is similar to someone planning to die. Additionally, when Cas, who could easily kill him, is beating him up, Dean doesn't fight back and dares Cas to do it.

Added DiffLines:

* MortonsFork: Poor Zachariah's situation. Michael has given him one last chance to coerce Dean into admitting Michael into his body, with the clear condition that if he fails, he gets torched into nonexistence. Dean eventually caves and is willing to host Michael...if he first torches Zachariah into nonexistence. And the worst part is, Zach did this to himself by being a ruthless, petty, spiteful, condescending, overlord-ing SmugSnake at every available moment, and has only himself to blame for Dean hating him as much as he does and never thinking it might come back to bite him.
