katikatI received a review telling me that my latest story "Lord of the Demons" doesn't make sense from the canon point of view because the episodes Crossroads and All Hell Breaks Loose 2 proved that the deal can be broken. I beg to disagree...
In Crossroads, the deal was broken because the demon stepped aside and made the deal void from her side. If she had said no and they exorcised her, the deal would still stand... Or at least she would be hell bent - no pun intended - on killing that guy when she crawled out of the pit.
In All Hell Breaks Loose 2, John got out of Hell, true. But he didn't make the deal with a Crossroads demon but with the YED. And maybe he got free only because the YED went puff. It wasn't proved that John wouldn't have gone back to Hell if the YED stayed alive so the deal wasn't technically broken.
Feel free to correct me... :)
