Well this ep said to me that the mythical bond actually never existed. There was/is Dean's love for Sam but what is there from sam? I don't see anything. The ep canonically told us that Sam wants (and always wanted) to be without Dean. the question of the ep for me is why is he still here? Besides his fear of Luci of course. I have big issues with sam in general and with sam in this ep in particular but i won't touch it now (if you interested just let me know) because i wanted to focus on God's 'problem'. Don't kill me but i liked how they portray God in this ep. I can be wrong but for me what they're saying isn't that Gos is uninterested. It's the opposite. He did save them from Luci, He did resurrect Cas for them to help. Now it's their turn to prove God chose them for a reason. It's like in that story about drowning man praying for God's help when he refused to climb on the boat and be saved by rescue team because he believed that God will save him. And after dying he asked God why He didn't save him? And God said - i sent you a boat and a rescue team but you was the one who refused to be saved. That's what i see right now in the show. The whole story on this mytharc is a lesson. For angels, for hunams. And what kind of a lesson it'll be if God will intervene and save the day? They (and angels and humans) have to find a way to save themselves from a mess they created and prove to God that they deserve Free Will (for humans) and serve to God (for angels). And also i think that hitting rock bottom (for Dean and Cas) will help them to gather strength and fight again. I mean they're both in ridiculously similar situation right now. They both lost everything. And they both know that the world is still depend on them. Isn't it a great base for a new start? As for Pam's words i like they presented this POV. I don't know what they think of her there - was she another Zach's manipulation or not but imo, that POV must be presented to clear things up because really she was right. Technically in Kripke's universe all martyrs (and innocents who were killed at war are martyrs, right?) will go to heaven so what's to worry about? They'll be safe there and for many people heaven will be a lot better place then the one they're now. So i think before Dean makes any decisions he had to hear this POV too and take it to consideration. As for the amulet i'm for 99% sure that sam will pick it up and will give it to Dean again. But sadly for me as a viewer it's too little too late.
