Memo to Dean (and his backup singers): I’m your girl, but I don’t care if you can’t do this. I care if you can’t do this alone. Like many people whose reactions I’ve seen, I would have swooned over this episode if Dean had explicitly gotten up to go find Sam, or, you know, mentioned him to the archangel. I am also, however, totally willing to buy this as explicit angelic strategy, separating Dean from Sam so that Dean will be ready to kill Sam in order to keep the last seal from breaking, just as Ruby has separated Sam from Dean so that Sam will be deprived of a steadying influence. (I expect and require Dean to say no to the “kill Sam” thing, but I’m willing to let him get pretty close.) So I find the episode really engaging, it just didn't do enough to satisfy the Sam&Deanness that I need fed by the end of the season.
Young John Connor = young Sam Winchester in the AU where only Mary and Sam survived, no?
