![]() In the song's breadth for Dean - and a lifetime for Sam - they meet again on a bridge in Heaven. On Earth, Sam can feel the Heavenly connection to Dean when he grips the wheel of the real Impala. Kansas' "Carry on Wayward Son" plays as Dean starts driving Baby's "Pilot" iteration, fit with OG license plate KAZ 2Y5. Though Dean admits his first beer with John was crap, that's what beer in Heaven tastes like to Dean, suggesting that Dean is finally ready to move past the issues he has with his father and just be - together.ĭean decides to go on a drive, waiting for Sam to come home before he reunites with anyone else. Yet while Dean's free to make new memories, Old Heaven's nostalgia factor seeps in through taste, smell, and just being. With a knowing look, Bobby tells Dean that Cas helped - earning him a relieved smile and laugh that his angel is out of the Empty. Still wearing his brother's old watch, Sam dies peacefully when Dean II says the same words he said to his brother all those years ago: "It's okay. Either way, Sam accepts it, letting go when his son clasps his hand just like Sam did for Dean. ![]() Then again, a Dean Winchester can never be without his Baby (the Impala) or hunting. While we can't be sure if Dean II has taken up hunting, an elderly Sam looks surprised to see the matching pentagram tattoo he's sporting when Sam is on his deathbed. if Dean were to come back to life 20 years later and Sam was still hunting, I think Dean would have been pissed off." Padalecki explained in a Creation Entertainment panel, "Sam tried to live his life the way Dean would've wanted him to live his life. While the beginning of "Carry On" marks the end of Dean's Earthly life, Sam gets to rewrite every mistake both sides of their family have been making for generations - and he does it in a house of photos honoring his fallen family. Sam gets out of hunting and raises a son, whose "Dean" overalls have officially broken the fandom. His brother finally says, "It's okay, you can go now." (Spoiler alert: The fandom is not okay.) Dean lets go with a tear, clasping Sam's hand. Dean then references Jared Padalecki's mental health charity campaign, telling his brother to "Always keep fighting." He makes Sam promise to break the curse of demon deals and resurrection, asking for permission to go. Mirroring Jack's goodbye, he tells Sam that he can always find him in his heart. Not usually a man of many words, Dean has a string of poetry in death, telling Sam all the things he's held back since they were kids. And lo and behold, when a vamp shoves Dean into a rebar, he fulfills the destiny of going down swingin'. The camera pans on it for a second, foreshadowing what's to come. But Dean and Sam Winchester are regular hunters now - and regular hunters die regular, gruesome deaths.ĭean narrowly misses getting whacked into a rebar. Here, they set up a new generation of hunters - because Dean could never live an apple pie life, and Sam wouldn't stop hunting until he did. On their final hunt, they pose as Agents Eric Kripke and Bobby Singer, taking down a nest of vampires and saving two young brothers. Because our lives? They're ours." Dean and Sam aren't the protagonists in some screwed-up cosmic story anymore. "Carry On," the final episode, opens on the appropriately named song "Ordinary Life." After years of self-doubt and doubting Sam, Dean says, "I'm good with who I am. There are plenty of platonic and familial love confessions in the show. ![]() Whether Dean feels the same is up for debate, but the angel's feelings on the matter are pretty explicit, and no one would question it for a second if Cas' vessel were a woman. No one says they want something they can never have before a platonic love confession. The script tells the story, clearly illustrating that Cas is in love with Dean Winchester. What was once a relationship built on subtext has dissolved into text. Many Destiel (Cas and Dean) shippers are looking to Collins and Ackles for answers on Castiel's confession - but they don't need it. Cas accepts himself with no apology or fear of rejection, setting himself free. Castiel's confession isn't about Dean - it's about him finally getting in touch with his deepest human emotions while being honest. When Cas looks back at his time knowing and loving Dean, he realizes that the hunter's true feelings about him don't matter. In a relationship that is as long, important, and formative to who a person (or angel) is, there's a moment where someone has to decide if they're going to allow the experience to break them or affect them positively. ![]()
