Some of my favorite quotes from this episode:

Castiel: “It's like we're stepping into a Saturday Evening Post.”

*Sam stares at him*

Castiel: “I look at them sometimes after you fall asleep at night. They're very soothing.”

Castiel: "Maybe they're Mormon."

Chip: “They said something about an aneurysm or something?”

Castiel, casually: “Oh no, his head exploded.”

*everyone stares at him*

Chip: “I’m sorry?”

Castiel: “Like a ripe melon on the sun.”

Landlord woman: "Morals. Got to have morals.”

*She looks Castiel up and down judgmentally*

Landlord woman to Castiel specifically: “You know.”

Donatello: "Ah, I am just the picture of health. Except for my prostate. It's shaped like a papaya."

Sam: “Passionate how?”

Castiel: “She spends, uh, quite a bit of time talking about the…the shape and the heft of his…”

Sam: “Okay! Got it, yep, passionate.”

Dean to Jack who's holding two packages. One angel food cake and one devil's food cake: "You try one of those."

Castiel: "I, um I don't mean to bother you, but I'm, uh -- I'm looking for my partner. The tall man. Hair? He has beautiful hair?"

Sam: "Justin. Justin Smith. And you are?"

Castiel: "Your partner."

Sam: "Y-Partner? Huh! Super! That's swell. Great. Tell you what. Why don't you stick around? We're having pot roast. Honey. Make me a martini?"

Cindy (the wife of the husband who just died): “Hon, we're low on olives.”

Sam: “Well, that is terrible.”

Cindy: “One or two?”

Sam: “Uh, three? I'm feeling adventurous.”

Sam: "Fine! Sir, using language like, uh, 'H-E-double hockey sticks'...You should have your mouth washed out with soap."

Castiel: "Sam..."

Sam: "It's Justin."

Castiel: "I'm gonna...Double hockey sticks?"

Chip: “In this town? I'm god.”

Sam: “No. You're not. Believe me, we've met god.”

Cas: “God has a beard!”

I think he should have been carried bridal style. Daddy favorite shouldn’t have had to walk on his own two legs.

unbearable to watch sam guilt-trip dean into parenting jack actually.

[spn-rewatch-ventzone]

Cas is, in my opinion, the most fun when he is doing morally objectionable things

And now Metatron is swirling around in Amara’s stomach, bonding with Donatello’s soul. “The right-brain, left-brain couple.”

Metatron is a freak and tries to impress Donny. They banter. Then Metatron gets mean and passive-aggressive.

The building blocks are there.

///

EDIT: Plus Metatron killed Dean, and Cas brain melted Donny. There’s potential for juicy fam fights!

EDIT 2: And by “discover” I mean it was hurled at me by @satinsolace and now it’s implanted in my brain

i discovered a new ship i didn’t wanna

We know how traumatic it is for Dean to watch Cas die, and it’s happed five different times, right in front of him. The boy went to hell and had less PTSD than when his Angel dies

But what would it be like for Cas to see Dean die. I literally can’t imagine the distress, and the pure rage he’d direct at whoever was responsible

I’m thinking metatron and ‘well guess what, he’s dead too’. I’m thinking Cas killing Billie to save Dean and Sam. I’m thinking the way he ran to Dean’s side when Donatello hurt him and then commit some slight war crimes even though Dean loves to be choked within an inch of his life

Anyways. What would that do to Cas? Tell me, in detail, I can take it

I've noticed people often point to Donatello as the model soulless person and then argue the sharp contrast between him and Sam as proof that deep down, Sam is just a really shitty guy who has terrible thoughts that he manages to keep under wraps only with a soul. I don't think this is that fair of a take.

I think using Donatello as the contrasting character is cherry-picking and that Donatello is a very poor comparison for Sam. Donatello is more of an exceptional soulless person than a rule. We see multiple examples in season 11 of other people losing their souls. Several go crazy and murder people like feral animals. None of them have the ability to feel right vs wrong—they just understanding the existence of the societal rules they've grown up with, and either accept those rules or don't based on what they believe is in their best interest. Previous traumas also seem to play a role.

Someone like Donatello has never been through anything traumatic that we know of, and he's just a professor. He has no need or incentive to kill anyone and no previous traumas that might induce him to want to harm anybody. Intellectually, he likely understands rules as a good way of maintaining societal order. He also understands that if he breaks the rules, he's going to get in trouble and lose his job, go to jail, etc. He isn't a fighter. He's just a professor and all he wants to be is a professor. The biggest moral quandary he deals with on a daily basis is whether to bump a student's course total up half a point to get them to the next letter grade. His goal is simply to continue being a professor. The rational option for him is to be a model citizen whether he can feel what the right thing is or only understands rules on an intellectual level.

The core thing soulless Sam tells you about Sam is that being a hunter is the occupation he finds most interesting (or else he'd go do something else that he found more intellectually fulfilling). All he cares about is killing monsters and capturing alphas and the intellectual fulfillment he feels when he clocks a witnesses lies (6.06) or solves the latest case puzzle. Fulfillment isn't nearly so cut and dry for Sam with a soul, because he has to deal with emotions which create more conflicting goals and desires than simple intellectual stimulation.

Hunters live lives where they are constantly faced with moral dilemmas that normal people will never face, and they know how to escape legal consequences. This is what makes soulless Sam such a dangerous hunter and why the outcome is so different from someone like Donatello. Soulless Sam's most rational option is not necessarily the societally acceptable one. Sometimes there is no societally acceptable option or any written rule that encompasses the complexity of the actual situation. Normally, hunters will "feel" out what's right and what's wrong in these situations. Soulless Sam identifies this ability as something he lacks. Sam recognizes this as a hindrance at first and wants Dean to fill that role for him (6.01, 6.06, 6.08). However, he also slowly begins to think that maybe other hunters are the problem and are hindered by their emotions and that he is better because he's capable of pure efficiency-based rationality. This is why he lies to Samuel, lies to Dean, and keeps secrets from Dean for Samuel (6.06, 6.07). He wants their help to reach his own goals, but increasingly sees their potential emotional reactions to his actions and each others actions as an inefficient hindrance that will impede the mission.

Letting a vamp turn Dean isn't something Sam with a soul would do or likely even think to do. This is the guy who went on two multi month revenge quests after his brother was killed (3.11, 4.01/4.09). With a soul, he cares about Dean's safety—even when he pretends he doesn't. He's hurt and killed people for hurting Dean or to keep Dean safe and he's been willing to hurt and kill more (example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4, example 5, example 6). Soulless Sam also has no reason to want Dean harmed unless it benefits him. There is nothing in him to love Dean, but there's also nothing in him to hate Dean. When he sees Dean being turned, and stops in his tracks, and smiles, it isn't actually because he's taking pleasure in seeing Dean being humiliated. There's nothing in him to feel hate toward Dean like that. Even hate like that would require a soul. Why Sam is smiling—what he's taking pleasure in—is seeing his plan come together—a solution to the issue of "find the alpha vampire". He immediately realizes he has an "in", and because Dean is merely a tool who can benefit him, his suffering that occurs in the process doesn't matter to the equation—just what Soulless Sam can get out of him. Using Dean, he's solved the latest intellectual puzzle. The same thing happens in 6.10 when Meg is on Dean's lap with a knife, making sexually suggestive commentary. Sam laughs—and Dean at first thinks it's because soulless Sam enjoys seeing him being treated that way, but Sam tells us he's laughing because he's figured Meg out—because he realizes she's desperate and scared of Crowley. Laughing at her takes also takes away her sense that she has the upper hand.
