It's tragic how romantic it all is

Dean: Mom, this is Castiel. Cas, this is my Mom, Mary.

Castiel: Hello, Mary.

Mary: Castiel. I've heard a lot about you. So you're the Angel who's in love with my son.

Castiel: ...

Dean: Wait, what?!?

Mary: Oh honey, everyone in Heaven knows. Also, didn't I always tell you that Angels are watching over you? They gossip about you two all the time.

Dean: ...

Castiel: ...

Mary: I'm so sorry, Castiel. He's always been prettier than he was smart.

Well, up until that weird British lady (played by the same actress as Valerie the Heretic in The Vampire Diaries) showed up and zapped Cas and shot Sam, that is.

I’ll focus instead on how giddy with relief Dean seemed when he realized Castiel was back. That was as close to happy I’ve seen Dean this season.

And he basically took the first chance he got to take Cas out for a ride, just the two of them. And while there were no confessions of love or anything, Dean telling Cas he’s family, that he’s a brother, well, to someone like Dean Winchester who considers his brother Sammy the most important person in the world, someone he values more than the faith of the world, the way I see it, there’s no higher place Castiel can occupy in his heart.

God and Amara both survived. So did Rowena and Crowley. And… Surprise Mary Winchester. Was the latter a gift from God?

Ever.

Alone.

Yeeeeees. Only a few minutes in and we’ve got Dean/Cas moment :D

The relief on Dean’s face when he realized it was Cas and not Luci :D

That’s the only Destiel part of this episode. Well, that and Luci promising he’d keep [Dean’s] pet safe when they were planning Amara’s takedown.
