Summary
Once, Dad took Sam and Dean to a Catholic church for a job. During the service, the priest went around with a stick and a bucket, flinging holy water onto the crowd. There was something magical about it. With just a flick of his wrist, the priest could make it rain indoors. For the first time, Dean understood why God hid inside of churches instead of going out into the world.
This was a little bit like that.

Summary
If Lucy knew what Gabriel was doing, he’d be so pissed. It didn’t take much to annoy Lucifer into being entertaining. Stealing his ex would absolutely qualify.
Okay. Gabriel wasn’t exactly stealing Lucifer’s ex. That would require a) actually talking to Michael, and b) Michael seeing Gabriel as something other than an annoying peon. Still. Gabe was stealing Lucifer’s ex’s vessel, and that was almost as good.

Summary
If Bobby thought about it, really thought about it, he didn’t actually know how he made any of his friends. To say he made friends at all was a bit misleading. Really, they shanghai-ed him into their lives. One minute, there was a guy he chatted with every time he got drinks at a particular bar—the next, he was getting invited to his wedding and his kids’ christenings. He didn't understand exactly what happened in between

Summary
Dean didn’t get it. He didn’t see why he wasn’t enough for Sam. If you asked Dean, family were the only people who were worth squat. But Sam always wanted more.

Summary
If John was honest with himself, the whole disaster was probably for the best. Sure, he wished things went down differently—he preferred not to be herded out of the house by the barrel of Bobby’s shotgun—but now that they were safely on the highway out of Sioux Falls, John was happy to never return. He should have jettisoned Bobby a long time ago.

Summary
Everything only added up once I knew about Daisy. Gatsby was not the flagrant seeker of notoriety that he first appeared to be; he only sought the attention of one particular woman.

Summary
Mom looked at the guest list for Jason's bar mitzvah and sighed. “I thought maybe you’d invite some of your friends?”
Oh. Right. Of course that was it. That was always it.

Jason's refusal to make friends is a point of tension between him and Trina.

Summary
Gabriel didn’t know what it was, exactly. Maybe it was the obnoxiously bright orange background. Maybe it was the dorky haircut. Maybe it was that Gabriel was around in the regency era, and that costume was not historically accurate in the slightest. Either way, just looking at the damn guy pissed him off.

Gabriel decides to replace Thom, the English muffin guy, with himself. Because I said so.

Summary
The first time you heard her, your entire body was set alight.
If you didn't have a quest—if you didn't have a wife—you would have followed that voice immediately. You’d run right to her and give her everything she could possibly desire.

Summary
Beatrice only made it three words into her introduction before everything went wrong. “Excuse me, sir,” Beatrice began. Before she could get to her actual message, Lemony's companions burst out laughing.
Lemony didn’t answer Beatrice. He stared straight ahead and took a small sip of his root beer float. The woman on Lemony’s responded instead. “Is there something this fellow can help you with?” she asked. Her smile seemed much too wide for that particular question.
“I’m sure Mister Snicket would be more than happy to speak with you,” echoed the man.
“He really is quite the gentleman,” added the woman to Lemony’s right. All three of them started laughing again.

Beatrice Baudelaire II finally meets Lemony Snicket. It does not go the way she expects.

Summary
Ellington was close enough for Violet to hear her every breath. Her grip on Violet’s hand seemed somehow more tender. Ellington’s smile was no longer unfathomable; not when all the other signals were clear. Ellington knew exactly what Violet was, and she was obviously pleased.
“In this world, you cannot avoid others’ attraction. You can only search for those that are less dangerous. Those who are willing to protect you. Those that you find more pleasing.”

Summary
Cigarettes were useful in many scenarios. They could be used as makeshift smoke signals to communicate with someone fairly close by. As part of a disguise, they could make a child appear much older than they actually were. Most helpfully, when dealing with a certain sort of adult, offering a smoke was a surefire way to gain their favor. Anyone who partook in cigarettes was always happier with one between their lips.
Of course, none of those were the reason that fourteen-year-old Kit Snicket first opened a pack.

Summary
Just a handful of hours before, Violet was curled up in Olaf’s trunk and worrying about what he did while she was under anesthesia. Now, she was plotting to violate Olaf in return. The very idea made her stomach turn and her hands shake, but did she really have any other choice?
Violet was the eldest Baudelaire. She had a duty to her siblings. Letting her rut loose on Olaf and claiming him was indubitably wicked, but it would keep Klaus and Sunny safe.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” Sam asked. Crowley always enjoyed sticking his nose in he and Dean’s business, but at the moment, there was nothing for him to pry into. It had been weeks since they tangled with any demons at all.
“I’m saving you a piss and five minutes of waiting. You’re up the duff.”

Or, Crowley makes a very Crowley attempt at trans male solidarity.

Summary
Duncan and Isadora thought they understood VFD, but they learned about it from books. Quigley was a volunteer. He went through an apprenticeship, even the parts that his associates didn't dare to write down. Even with the organization fractured and every safe place reduced to ashes, Quigley’s membership was sealed. His siblings didn’t suffer the same fate. They never would. If Quigley had any say in the matter, they’d never even discover what he had to do.

Summary
Georgina stopped cold. Her nose twitched and a light seemed to switch on behind her eyes. “Do I smell smoke?”
When Esmé concentrated, she could smell it too. “The Baudelaires told everyone that the hotel is on fire. Apparently they were telling the truth.”
“Esmé, have ever I told you that I always wanted to have sex in a burning building?” Georgina smiled wide.
That was exactly what Esmé was waiting to hear.
