Thoughts on Amara in 11.18 Hell's Angel
Apr. 8th, 2016 11:30 pmI’ve been thinking about Hell’s Angel a lot and especially the Amara moment at the end of the episode.
Specifically that moment where Dean said “Cas” and she stopped to look at him and then changed course.
Firstly, I think she saw something in Dean in that moment that she had never experienced before–true friendship and unselfish caring. At the beginning of the episode she talked about how Crowley used her and then Rowena’s offer of friendship was two-faced. Amara has never experienced a relationship with anyone who wasn’t trying to use her and then there in that moment she saw it in Dean and his concern for Cas.
I also think she saw that concern and decided not to cause Dean more pain by torturing Lucifer in front of him. She does care about Dean on some twisted and selfish and broken level and because of that she took Lucifer out of Dean’s sight before having her “talk.”
The thing about Amara is that she is still very young and naive in a lot of ways despite her age and vast power. She’s never had anyone show her how to care about someone. Maybe she needs to pay a bit more attention to Dean beyond her desire for him. She could learn a few things about family and friendship.
