were other kids who got a visit in their nursery That's what I thought, that the mother's murder was something, maybe the first part of 'something', that would turn them either like Max or like Meg.
I thought that the crib bursting into flames might have been significant too. Is that child useless to The Demon now? Is it that important that the child see their mother die? I'm not sure I had thought of that before but the way the mother spoke about her 'looking at you/people' also the way the burst-into-flames scene was framed looked to be all about what the baby could see.
Now that I think about it, there have been mentions of how a demon can get inside you, an emotional disturbance or trauma. Max's step mum, who I am convinced was on the demon's side, might have been there to push it along. Was Papa Winchester meant to stay in town and be 'normal' after his wife's death? Which might have really sent him around the bend. Sam says after Max's death that they were lucky to have their dad. He might have given them/Sam a physiological way to deal with the trauma and a way to resist.
Maybe these kids have a resistance to possession that makes it necessary, causing this trauma might be artificially creating a way in. It might not be only one demon either, it's children or allies? Meg and Shooty do seem to play by the demon rules, holy water, not dying from bullets etc.
