Dean will see "Robert Plant" in Jensen's phone contacts

no need to worry about Misha's GK schedule--Misha is dead! That means Dean won't get to even see someone pretending to be the Cas he knows

some other rando will have been playing Cas for 10 years?! Maybe a woman?!

Dean as Jensen has to do Jensen things -- perhaps meeting with the writers of the SPN sequel he's producing, or attending a con and answering questions about destiel. Danneel and the new actor for Cas are there too. (Jared was delayed by airport security and missed his flight.)

Dean will meet Danneel and realize that while Sam's actor is married to Ruby, a demon, he's married to Sister Jo, an angel

J2 fallout jokes because them not getting along is canon for the universe

any actor or celebrity (other than Misha) can cameo and it will make sense. I vote Karl Urban

"Jensen," meanwhile, is in Dean's heaven?!

Though the idea of John going through repeated mindwipes is hilarious, it is kind of lazy, and Robbie Thompson, our FRIEND, isn't lazy. He's fun, he's innovative, he likes a loophole. So I found one for him.

Why do we assume that in 1973 John doesn't know Mary's a hunter? I allowed myself to puruse the episode. The only evidence I can find that might imply that is Mary saying:

MARY Okay, wait. There's things you don't know about me, John.

SUSPICIOUS! Is what I would say if I haven't read the summary for SPNWIN, which says:

But secrets run deep for both the Winchesters and Campbells

Secrets run deep? Deeper than hunting, mayhaps? This isn't the only thing that leads me to believe there will be no mindwipe between the years, for example we have no actual proof that John doesn't know about hunting. Him being confused about Dean asking about sulfur and cold spots might just be because this random stranger that may or may not be stalking him is asking him weird questions. During the diner conversation with Mary, he just offers to talk to Mary's dad about their relationship. Samuel implies during the dinner with Dean that he thinks John is a civilian, which could just be the cover Mary and John used because John is a Men of Letters and they're notorious for not liking hunters. And that's basically it for John not knowing about hunting things. There's actually a scene that leads me to believe Robbie might incorporate:

MARY runs up to JOHN and throws herself into his arms.

JOHN Hey, you – you okay?

MARY You promised you'd take me away.

JOHN Of course I did.

MARY Do it now.

Mary in the prequel wants out. She wants to leave the life. Maybe John promises to take her out of it? Come on, it'd be cute. See the country together.

crazy thing about this song is that this played as mary was walking away from john right after they fought a demon and THEN . AS a demon possessed Ada. its fitting in that if youre looking at the songs meaning to be the singer is searching for someone who is away from them its a perfect parallel for how mary and john are both looking for their fathers but also theres this weird foreshadowing about how john after marys death was so hellbent on finding her killer and theres something sour in that song playing when shes walking away from him after they met for The Second Time Ever when you know theyre gonna fall in love

but also my take on how this ties into dean is that he picks the music and he picked this song for a reason and not just because it fit for john and mary . i like to think its because he listened to it and related to it in that he might still be searching for cas post 15x18

Since it's been established that time works differently in heaven and on earth, and time travelling and all that, maybe Sam wouldn't even notice it's gone before he dies 😂

What I am sure of is:

1. the show is going to make the point that it's always been Dean's car, which is true!

and therefore,
