Once again you've outdone yourself with this review. I agree with you on Dean's fear of losing Sam. I believe that will be the final straw which drives him to accept Castiel's offer to give himself solely to the service of Heaven. I can't imagine him doing it unless he feels completely alone. His feeling of losing Sam would certainly do that. I also appreciate you not blaming Sam for his addiction. Although the choices he made were his own, Ruby played on all those feelings and emotions at a time when he felt completely alone. He had lost Dean and had nothing to live for. Now they are both paying the price and as I've said before it's gonna get worse before it gets better. Neither one wants to be without the other. I also liked your comment about Ruby holding out on Sam to make him desperate enough to pay any price for what he needs. I'm afraid that price will be Dean, but I believe that's what Ruby has wanted all along. There are forces, both Heaven and Hell, that do not want Dean and Sam together. They want friction between them. They know there weaker apart than together. This is just my opinion, but I'm beginning to think more and more along these lines. Only time will tell. Let me know your thoughts. Like me, I know you'll be grabbing hold of something and hanging on for the ride for the next 2 weeks. I think it is going to be a long summer!!!!
