Well I sure hope Alaina coming back is real, though.

On the topic of Meg, I acknowledge she may seem forced to be what Ruby could have been, but like I said, at least it did not happen in just one episode. You also have to consider she has been tortured by Crowley and his goons since Season 7 finale, so it's not just technically 5 episodes--it's still the entirety of most of the post-apocalyptic seasons, just behind the scenes in most instances. That is not to say her on screen development was negligible--she saved Castiel from Hester.

I also acknowledge she's done those horrible deeds to the Winchesters (and vice versa), but Crowley also has the same claim to fame. Despite this, majority of the fandom have a lopsided view on the matter---they won't let Meg slide easily but they are easy to accept Crowley's attempt to redeem himself in the finale. They are disregarding Meg's own free will to switch sides and would rather acknowledge Crowley's forced heel face turn (forced because he would not have done so without those purified blood injections). But hey, that's just like my observation and opinion.
