I have to confess something: When Sam told Dean to go back to Lisa, I was like, "What? He barely knows her. Why would she let him move in? Really, she's just a fantasy that he's built up in his mind."

But now, I am so, so glad for Lisa. He needs her so badly, and she just hugged him and let him live the apple pie life with her, because he needs to have what he wanted, just this once, even if it's not what he thought it would be. Maybe Sam was using good character judgment, because in my head, she and Ben could be really, really good for him (even if I never see Dean becoming a soccer dad).

AMAZING review. Major props to you guys.

But we all build up fantasies! *pouts* LOL
NO RLY.

Here's the deal with Lisa. She moved. She changed neighborhoods, changed her son's school, JUST so that Dean could come back. The first time, even eight years after her son was born, EVERYONE in that neighborhood knew about Dean: knew his name, that he was a drifter, that he was this awesome "best night of my life" man who had this reputation that was obvious from the moment he drove down the street. LISA WAS THE ONE WITH THE FANTASY. And that kinda thing? You can't do that. You can't live that way for long. It eats up the people around you and it can eat you. She changed everything about her way of life because she saw how self-destructive that was. And if I was Ben? I'd be all for it if it meant maybe having Dean back. *hands*

It goes both ways... and THAT'S the awesome part.

Exactly! They both had these built-up fantasies about each other, neither of which could be sustainable, but then at the end of the ep they just hug each other- gaah. I'm probably reading way too much into this, but the way they look at each other in relief and really seem to take comfort in that hug just got to me. I'm totally sold now.

Nope, you're not reading too much into it. I think you've got it just right.

Yeah, I think Sam has known for a long time how much Dean cares about her. He saw all the things in Dean's mind too many times to argue it, and if she was anything like the girl in his mind, I mean, who WOULDN'T want that for him?

Also, thank you for all the comments and the sunshine!! Do you mind if I friend you?

katiestitch June 21 2010, 15:37:41 UTC

Yay, a new friend!

And yeah, I keep seeing that look on Sam's face when he saw her in Dean's head in Dream a Little Dream of Me. Like, "Whoa, he really cares about her. Must fix the way I see this relationship." And the way Dean was all adorably defensive about it. I totally get why Sam wanted them to be together.
