[ Jack forgot that Rowena wasn't always part of their team. When he met her, he knew that they had history, she had a whole history before. But she helped him anyway, despite the fact Lucifer hurt her so badly. That's what he remembered. But she wasn't always a 'good guy' either. Jack's tried so much to be one, from the moment he was born, until now. He listens to her attentively and it matters, what she's saying. He's been very black and white on this issue and still is hard on himself about it. ]
I'm not like Lucifer. I know that now. I used to be afraid I was, that I had no other choice.
[ It was Sam who argued from the start that Jack could choose, that they could raise him to be good and not go down the same path. The ways in which Jack made mistakes and went down a dark road, none of it was the same as Lucifer. His was always well-meaning. Trying too much, but being too powerful and out of control. It doesn't change that Jack did harm. With Lucifer's power inside of him now, he still knows in his heart, he is not him. ]
But I don't have to be like him to do the wrong thing. Sometimes I just ... do. Now that I have his power and mine, I'm worried.
[ Jack should be worried. Every time he's taken his power in a casual sense, things have gone horribly wrong. He can't be reckless about them. He looks over at her, maintaining eye contact for a moment, but then back to the road so he can make sure he's being safe. ]
