#turned up

Heyya :)

Yeah I love it, there are so many times where Bobby looks like he knows, it’s too many to ignore even if he never came out and said it, which of course he couldn’t because that is part of Dean’s subtextual story which isn’t supposed to be divulged before endgame, so we just get snippets here and there.  

Bobby treating Dean like his son, caring for him, telling him to toughen up when he needs to, Sam and Bobby not even batting an eyelid when Dean’s siren is a guy, them both talking about how depressed Dean is due to Sam’s head being broken (which he immediately says is not that bad, so, its clearly not the main issue), and Dean losing CAS… with Sam’s facial expression as he says his name… literally the scene right after the first thing Dean says the thing he’s glad to be not caring about right now (ie. that he cares about DEEPLY when he’s not drugged up), is about Cas and the black goo…

Sam asks Bobby if he also feels like Dean is just going through the motions, that he’s not the same Dean and Bobby is like “how could he be?”…

Which just is a total reminder of:

and Bobby when his wife is resurrected even though he knows its wrong:

Which has now made me watch that episode, with Karen telling Dean he’s never been in love if he doesn’t understand omission of truth to bring peace not pain, which only a few episodes later is exactly what Dean does for Cas, which Cas even says textually to bring our attention to it *sigh*.

Anyway, yes, I don’t know how I feel about Bobby leading them to Emmanuel knowing it was Cas, it feels a bit ghost ex machina tbh, how could Bobby have possibly known before he died, and why wouldn’t he have mentioned it before, I feel like he probably just thought it was worth a shot that they tried Emmanuel and was lucky that it turned out to be Cas… but heck, I’ll go for it :)
