I think this might become one of my most-watched episodes this year (after 10x02 because damn). It was really heartbreaking in a way that the show hasn't been for a long time--dark, too, as you say. I'm really loving this season.
My thoughts:
- I'm thinking Rowena might be this season's Big Bad. I don't think we've seen even a smidgen of what shit she can pull. I'm... kind of hoping she isn't, though? Because if she is, her chances of survival have dropped significantly and we could really do with more lady characters not dying. My second guess for the season's Big Bad is actually Dean himself. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets turned into a demon again, but I'm not holding my breath.
- That said, I also don't think Dean is going to kill Sam or Cas. I'm not sure about Crowley (and I'm also biased there because I admittedly have lost all interest in Crowley.) Dean's reoccurring thing is being told he's going to do one thing, and then not doing it. I think they could make it look like they're going to go that route but then change it up at the last minute.
- I was wondering if Cain was actually dead and if Dean really could kill him. I feel it could go either way, but if he is still alive, I also think Dean himself doesn't realize it, and if Cain comes back, it'll be a shock for everyone. But I also can't really see a point for keeping him alive anymore since I feel like his ~point~ is done: there's no cure (that he knew of), and even he wasn't able to resist temptation any longer. Dean has to be stronger-willed than Cain if he's going to survive.
