My internet has been down so I am just finally seeing this. I look forward to all your r reactions so much. Heck, I just gave up my favorite latte once a month to join your Patreon. No joke. Dark Side of the Moon is a big favorite of mine. So many reveals. So much to take in about the boys and what they value. When Sam says "Family just doesn't mean the same thing to me", Dean's world takes another hit and Sam scrambles to soften the blow but of course they are interrupted. It tears me apart for both of them. Every tiny detail in this episode is important. You can watch it a dozen times and still catch something you missed before. The final scene is a masterpiece with a tiny amount of dialogue. Sam is desperate to be encouraging to his brother and Cas. An angel who has lived thousands of years existing to do what God commands is devastated and loses faith. Dean says nothing to Cas, he just watches the inner turmoil waiting with the tiniest hope that Cas will give him something, anything to hang on to. The lost look in his eyes when the angel turns away is devastating. Dean's only word in the scene is "how?" Hollow, broken and hopeless. Sam who has been looking towards Dean to keep them both motivated and moving forward has seen that determination fading and is left alone in the hotel room just like he must feel alone inside at that moment. It's brilliant, multi-layered and heartbreaking.π

I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. That really does look like the Cleveland Botanical Gardens.
Dean has just been going through it the last few episodes. He's really become depressed and defeated. Like Joshua said, Dean's lost faith in his brother, in everything. In actuality Jensen didn't like the Samulet because it kept hitting him in the face. This was how the show resolved that problem. I'm hoping Sam picked the Samulet up out of the garbage can.
I don't think Zachariah was manipulating everything. Only the last scene in their childhood home, with evil Mary. But all of Sam's memories ARE his happy places, just as Dean's are.
So now we know where God is. He is on Earth. What is he doing? Where is he? I can understand why he doesn't interfer. He gave angels and humans free will. If this is what they've done with it, then why should he step in and clean up their mess? I would like Joshua to appear again, he seems like a 'good' angel.
This episode always breaks my heart for Dean. You can see his faith in Sam as the episode goes on. One thing I did notice this time round that I haven't paid much attention to before was Dean trying to find a way to escape when 'Mary' was talking to him about burning and everyone leaving him. This episode done a deep dive into Dean's psyche and it's heartbreaking.
Also we are closing in on 100 episodes (episode 18) - next episode has 99 in the title because it's the 99th episode lol.
