There are actually quite a few brotherly moments in that episode I absolutely love; the one you mention is certainly amongst them. I think there are two other moments that stand out to me: Firstly, Dean sleeping soundly in the passenger seat, while Sam is driving. In the first half of the season we often see Dean restless in his sleep, haunted by nightmares about hell. But here, in his beloved Impala, with Sam at his side, he seems to sleep peacefully. Secondly, Sam and Dean crashing in Bobby's study, both positioned in each others line of sight, so the first thing they would see when they open their eyes would be each other. Like they need the reassurance of the other being nearby. I am sure Bobby's house has guest rooms, so it always struck me as out of the ordinary that they chose to sleep together like that. :)
Thank you so much for mentioning these moments also. I totally agree.
I think it was in one of my motel posts that I remarked on Sam and Dean sleeping right next to each other at Bobby's - for exactly the same reason you mention here. Bobby must have guest rooms but they choose to sleep on the floor and the sofa. Now, it could be convenience of filming but I'd like to think it's because of the reassurance it gives them to be that close. Also...I love the way Sam's foot catches Dean's pillow when he passes him. I always considered this a fab brotherly gesture.
And lovely observation about Dean sleeping peacefully in the Impala with Sam by his side....(awwwwww)
I find it curious that sometimes I will look back on an episode and think there aren't many bro moments and then when I reeaally look, there are heaps.

I never think of 4x02 as a particularly exciting episode, but there are so many strong moments between the brothers - Dean complaining about Sam forgetting his pie, Sam and Dean taking turns at saving each other, Dean subtly checking Sam for a concussion, Sam helping Dean up from the kitchen floor, Sam's concern when he realises something is wrong when Dean wakes up - that I love the episode to bits. :)
Oh I totally agree! I love the scene of them bedding down in Bobby's living room this episode, and as you say after they way they were separated its no wonder!
