Flashback Friday: Magichands Sammy in 4x06, 8x02, 9x16, 9x21
The return of Throwback Thursday Flashback Friday! I have no idea what the difference between a throwback and a flashback even is, in meme parlance, but here at hoodie_time they are synonymous.
If, uh, "flashback" counts as flashing back to like, three days ago. This post contains spoilers for 9x21 "King of the Damned"--but not beyond that.
This post is dedicated to what I've here dubbed "magichands Sammy," AKA moments where Sam calls Dean back from elsewhere, with varying degrees of success and increasing physical (and/or demonstratively emotional?) distance.
4x06 "Yellow Fever"
[Can't see the embed? Catch it on YouTube!]
Dean hallucinates Lilith and demon!Sam. Manhandling ensues.
8x02 "What's Up, Tiger Mommy?
[Can't see the embed? Catch it on YouTube!]
An interrogation triggers a Purgatory flashback. Sam tries to get Dean to stand down by…slapping the table.
9x16 "Blade Runners"
[Can't see the embed? Catch it on YouTube!]
After killing Magnus, Dean remains entranced/distant. And as a random note, Sam also has to call Dean's name a few times to get him to pay attention after Abaddon's demons key the Impala. FWIW. XD
I love the blade's pulsing "running fingers around a water glass" sound. If someone knows the more academic term for that, please do share!
9x21 "King of the Damned"
It occurred to me after I cut the video that it probably would have made more sense to preface this short clip with a bit of context, so here is some context, sort of:
"Who says I don't want to [torture]?" - source
[Can't see the embed? Catch it on YouTube!]
Dean terrifies Ezra, the Dumbest Angel in the Garrison. Sam jumps in.

Dean kills Abaddon, and then some. His facial expression at the end, augh.
I'm hesitant to offer any commentary or comparative thoughts, because there are so many ways to link or unlink these scenes I want you all to be free to make your own associations (or dissociations, as the case may be!). But I'd love, love, love to hear your thoughts, questions, hopes, fears, etc. <3
If you're going to talk about 9x21 or any confirmed spoilers for 9x22/9x23, please remember to place your commentary under a spoiler cut! You can C&P the code here:
YOUR SPOILERS
Can you think of any other moments you'd like to add? Or non-"magichands" scenes that are interesting to think about in conjunction with these? I'm sort of thinking about 6x01, with soulless!Sam and the djinn, but I don't actually remember how that happened. I think Dean may have just passed out. XP
