8'] F-f-f-fixed?! ("Like a Virgin")
*wails*
SAMMYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Oh my god, you guys. YOU GUYS. They just...oh god. They fixed it. They...they fixed EVERYTHING.
Show summary, and the preview clip, had me worried. I honestly thought it was going to be a whole episode of Cas guilt-tripping Dean, and Sam sleeping, and Dean fretting and Bobby muttering things like "told ya so" and "idjit" and it was going to be angsty and depressing and it just...it just WASN'T.
I got tears in my eyes when Sammy showed up (and, oh god, you have no idea how long it's been since I've felt like he was SAMMY and he's SAMMY again and just...*wail*) and hugged the hell out of Dean and Bobby...god, the emotion was just tangible. His disbelief at their being alive, especially, oh god. Even Cas.
And then we found out Sam didn't remember. And, honest to god, I felt my heart break ALL OVER AGAIN, because I was SURE that this was going to be the thread of this season. Dean lying, and Sam being passive aggressively angry, and their relationship fracturing further and further and further into something completely twisted and unrecognizable. And I UNDERSTAND Dean's motives, I do. He didn't know what knowing would do to Sam. He had his baby brother back--and you could see it, the joy in his eyes, all the little things he noticed and mentioned and just *wail*--and he just wanted to bask in that for awhile. I get it. It made me angry that the writers took it that direction, but I get it.
And then, just...just SAM. OHGODSAM. The way he noticed, and he knew Dean was hiding something and he went ahead and found out and just...wasn't angry. He didn't get upset, and he didn't get pissed off or belligerent or indignant...he accepted and understood and just FORGAVE, and god, that right there is what I've been waiting for since probably Season 4. That forgiveness. On both sides.
Like Dean said, clean slate. Tabula Rasa. And you have no. freaking. clue how happy I am about that.
AND CAS OMG ILU. I felt so bad when Sam didn't hug him, it was cute. And I wanted, honestly, to slap him upside the head when he told Sam--certain, again, that it would lead to brotherly angsting and brokenness and just everything that is depressing about the show. But it didn't. Cas told him EVERYTHING, and he's still okay, and he and Dean are okay.
It just...you guys, it feels like my show again. It's the SamandDean show again. In the space of an hour...they fixed them. This whole Mother of All and purgatory and whatnot, it's gonna be monster of the week again, with yeah some plot thrown in but...it feels like season 1. And there was so much more, so many little things.
Sam being the good guy in the interviews, being kind, considerate, sympathetic, righteous. The way they both get in the Impala at the same time. Dean's infectious freaking grin when he comes in with the food. The way Sam accuses Dean of not following through with his promise--but doesn't get angry, or upset, or any of that, just accepts it and lets Dean tell it and just...it's life, moving on.
I know there is going to be more heartbreak, because honestly--it's Supernatural. Sam is going to run in with demons, probably literal and metaphorical, from his past. There is going to be angsting, and near misses with that wall in Sammy's mind, but...I can take it, now.
They fixed my show.
They fixed my brothers.
You guys, I'm like...actively weeping now, I'm so freaking happy.
