"Into the Mystic" is one of my favorite episodes of SPN for personal reasons. For most of my life, my Aunt experienced near deafness and many times it was very difficult for me to communicate with her. When family members and friends experience those they love dealing with auditory disability, it's a learning curve to adjust to a different way of communicating. The episode was really good at portraying the Winchester brothers adapting to a form of communication that's different from their normality. This is one of the few episodes of network TV that did a great job of portraying individuals with auditory disabilities in a non-head patty way.
Also ,if you're interacting with someone with auditory disabilities assume they can read lips. I've gotten so much tea over the years because my aunt had the ability to read the lips of someone from far away.

Misha does an excellent job portraying Mark P.'s Lucifer. <p></p> <p>Shshanna Stern as Eileen is great, and Dee Wallace is fantastic. I'd like to see Eileen again too, since she's a hunter as well.</p>

Hey guys! Great reaction! The actress who plays Eileen is actually deaf - not sure if y’all watched it back in the day, but she played a main-ish character on ‘Jericho’ & I was pretty obsessed with it haha so it was really neat to see her have a badass role on Supernatural, too. Especially after the previous ‘Last of Us’ episode with the actor playing Sam also being deaf, it’s pretty cool to see representation for the dead community.
Anyways, hope y’all are doing well and no worries if you’re late on reactions - we’ll still love you, I guess 😉

I think I can speak for everyone when I say we'll be okay with waiting due to any delays, regardless of the reasoning :)
