Brilliant work!

When i saw Dean wake up with no blood on his face,i immediately knew it was Sam who cleaned Dean's face,in gentle.

Sammy finally did a right chioce,it's never too late to make one!

love it❤

Thanks. I think it was pretty universal that everyone believed Sam cleaned up Dean. That was my starting point in my musings.

Glad you liked it.

Very very insightful. I see Sam's path here. And yes, he did finally grow the fuck up. See, no one knew Dean better than Sam, even Dean was wrong.

Hee. You picked out my favorite line in my piece. So glad you liked this. Thanks for commenting.

I liked the weaving of the memories with the moment as Sam thinks of the right thing to ay. And I liked this:

Sam thinks about Lisa and her son, Ben. He never asked Dean about Ben. He assumes that Dean would not have left Cicero if Ben was his son. Sam has known for a long time now that normal life Sam thought he wanted has really been Dean’s dream all along. The irony stings. He snorts and the sound echoes against the iron walls, making it harsher, uglier. Because Sam has no interest in normalcy any longer.

Oh the sadness of the dream deferred!

Thanks so much. I was very impressed/moved by Sam knowing that Dean would go to Lisa. It just struck me of the offscreen connection that they still have. So I included reference to that.

I'm glad you liked this. And thanks for commenting.

This was so great, you've captured Sam so well!! The thoughts he needed to come to from the beginning of the episode to the fight in the panic room to the moment when they leave together. Dean is not Michael. And Sam is not Lucifer. Just beautiful!

Thank you. I loved this episode. Thought Jeremy Carver got it just right. Was easy to play in that sandbox. :)

I appreciate your taking the time to comment.
