[That it is even an option is telling enough to Lucifer.
That Sam has to be further along in the timeline, just as Lucifer was ahead of Dean and Castiel.
That somehow Lucifer is dead, because Crowley made hopping vessels impossible.
Lucifer knows the jig will be up almost immediately. All Sam has to do is ask him something that only Nick would know and he's out of the running, and everyone in Thorne knows him as Lucifer. He could maybe skew it as "Nick" playing the "role" of Lucifer for some reason--he could think up of a few on the fly--but the likelihood of Jack (Townsend) outing him was Extremely High.
And y'know. Sam's irksome older brother would tell him once he knew Sam was in Abraxas.
Still. Maybe he could get some deets.
He makes a confused face.] Lucifer's dead.
[Maybe he's incorrect, maybe there's another reason Sam's come in contact with Nick, but it's the best guess he has to play.]
