*sighs* Yes. What ... what Sam said under the spell? It totally discounted the fact that Dean is Sam's good thing too. Which is why his loss disbalanced him so. They... both changed. *wry* Sarah tried to tell that to Sam the other day, but generally Sam just reacted pissy at Dean, and she didn't press. But they did both change, and both are ashamed of who they are, anymore, and both are freaking out how bad the other one is taking the changes... and, yeah. *sighs shakes head* Dean just wants, still, things to go back to how they used to be. Even if he knows they won't, and can't, beyond doubt. Still...

*nods* so yeah, definitely that's a stopper, there, whether explicitly realized or not. Sarah's... pretty dead-set on it not happening unless Sam actually wants it, which is probably why their baby comes along later, when the peace... gets to Sam.

... also, please tell me that I'm not allowed to outfit Dean with a mood theme of Oscar Wilde quotes just to tweak Bela's nose...
