"When the Levee Breaks" theories
After a night of sleep, the shock seems to have worn off. I've downloaded the ep, but I'm still not planning on doing a magnum opus. I will, however, offer up some theories here, just in case they pan out next week. And a couple comments.
1. Castiel is going to give Dean the angelic equivalent of Sam's demon mojo.
2. Ruby's plan won't work. Even if she's telling the truth, which I don't believe she is--a lie of omission is still a lie--if Sam kills Dean, it goes against the prophecy of Dean having to be the one to stop the Apocalypse. Rather, it will only make matters worse, stepping Sam into Lilith's place (he was supposed to be the leader of YED's army, remember?), thereby either making Sam be the one to break the seal or giving Sam total demonic power, perhaps even turning him into a demon. In which case, Dean will have to kill him.
3. "If I do this, Sam won't have to?" Oh, Dean. That's been your approach to monster killing since we've known you. This is no different. *hugs Dean*
4. Sam's hallucinations are a very interesting statement on what he thinks of himself. He apparently already sees himself as a monster. He sees Dean as weak, or at least too weak to stop him. Or maybe that's the demon blood talking. *wants to hug Sam, but he's scary*
5. Now why would someone higher up tell Cas to let Sam out of the panic room? Is it to remove the one last obstacle preventing Dean from stopping the Apocalypse (said obstacle being to kill Sam)? Is it a test of his loyalty (something along the lines of Abraham and Isaac)? Or are we gonna go for the messianic storyline of Dean dying to redeem Sam and save the world? ('Cause we've kind of already done that, the Dean dies in Sam's place type of thing.)
6. I was delighted that Cas still feels he should at least acknowledge Dean's feelings by telling Dean he can't tell Dean whatever it was he was going to tell him last week.
7. Sam and Ruby are in bed, and they still have clothes on. In a Sera Gamble ep. Are we sure that's not the last seal?
8. I don't know how the writers are going to fix this. Right now, I don't see how they can fix it and stay true to the show. I hope they can, and I hope they do. I just . . .

This scares me as much as anything you could have said. I do not trust Kripke without the intervention of the rest of the team. And the (imo) strongest member of the team passed away last January.
