Awww Cas :(. I'm glad Dean finally got through to him- after judicious prodding from Sam, of course. I hope they get their vacation in Hawaii, hermit crabs and all.

Dean is such an idgit, but an awesome one. There's no way he could've stopped Barachiel if she'd been in a mind to smite any or all of them, but all he saw was his friend being upset and belittled and he stepped in to fix that. Go Dean, you stupid idiot ;).

Will Cas decide to attend the mourning? He may have turned down an order from Metatron, but it would be sad if he misses the chance to say a proper farewell to his friend.

Laura.
