#maybe she told him that living was important and they'd both been given second chances

I agree, they definitely would have had a connection there regarding that empty spot where their parent(s) should have been. And being raised to be a weapon, and wanting something else but finding out that "this was all they really knew".

It's honestly one of the reasons why I think Eileen could have been the "blurry wife". I've seen a lot of people dismiss her as an option because "she was a hunter and wouldn't have wanted to give that up" but like, was she a hunter because she loved it? Or because it's what she'd always known and trying for something different was a leap that may have felt a bit scary? But they seemed to understand each other on a deep level. Maybe they connected again over that, over that prospect of trying to start a life from scratch. This time knowing that there was no omnipresent force out to make sure their lives stayed "interesting" and just maybe they could make it work.

Anyway, sorry if I took this off on a tangent, but yes! I definitely think they found a lot of common ground.

Do you think Eileen and Sam bonded over losing parents to supernatural creatures and not feeling any differently after the monster is dead. Especially in the sense that Sam didn't know his mom, and Eileen didn't know either of her parents. I'm sure in their childhoods they mourned the loss of their parent(s) that they were told to mourn but at the end of the day, they were just told stories about these people. They had no emotional connection and it's not their fault, they were taken away from them too soon.
