Spec about Dean, Ben and bloodlines

retro_eidasYou know what? I think Ben really is going to turn out to be Dean's son. As folks have been speculating since TKAA, but obviously most recently due to the random Lisa is randomness so near the end of the season. Though beyond that, I just remembered, in the Bible, Benjamin was the name of Rachel and Jacob's youngest son.
The Whore of Babylon was posing as a girl named Leah. In the Bible, Leah was Rachel's sister and Jacob's first wife (who he was conned into marrying instead of Rachel, he eventually married Rachel later). The same Jacob who famously wrestled an angel which, hey, Dean himself perpetually finds himself doing, both literally and metaphorically.
I could believe there was something of a parallel between Leah and Lisa in 5x17, if only for the female face of evil and a female face of good. Both also are directly connected to Dean, the evil woman Dean vanquished and the good woman he vows to fight for. Monster and Mother. Leah and Rachel. And there's the sibling strife again.
Though if Ben does turn out to be Dean's kid, and gets possessed by either Michael or Lucifer, watch Jesse show up one way or another. If we don't get a repeat of the Jimmy, Claire and Castiel situation with Dean saying yes to spare Ben, then watch Ben get angeled-up and face-off either with an angeled-up Adam or angeled-up Jesse or just Jesse (he obviously already has massive cosmic powers). Or Jesse the wild card. It will be some heavy-handed metaphor about the next generation paying for the transgressions of the old. Super-powered moppets ATTACK!! Just like Dragonball! LOL
