ANDY GRIFFITH HOUSE FULL

He's trying to run the Campbell hunting family with new technology, new family members, new everything. He is resurrected nearly forty years after his death at Azazel's hands, and thus is a fish out of water. It's fairly early in the season when we realize that Samuel might not quite know what to do with Soulless Sam. What about the year Soulless Sam was away from Dean? We only learn about it through dialogue and flashbacks. At this stage, it is too far ingrained in Dean not to do everything in his power to save his little brother-rather that little brother wants it or not. With Dean being who he is, there really was one option all along. In this case, that was returning Sam's soul from the cage. Dean has three options on the table that he could have taken at any time prior to his deal with Death in 'Appointment at Samara.' He could have killed Soulless Sam, he could have left him and returned to Lisa and Ben or gone hunting solo, or he could have done whatever it took to save Sam. He might be upset or exasperated by Soulless Sam's lack of care or concern in 'Clap Your Hands If You Believe,' but he doesn't throw in the towel. Once he takes his aggression out on Soulless Sam at the end of 'You Can't Handle the Truth,' Dean patiently puts up with what ever Soulless Sam dishes. He might not like Soulless Sam, and this version of his brother might be all monster in his eyes, but Dean knows that it is not Sam's fault. Once Dean discovers what is wrong with Soulless Sam, he switches effortlessly into saving him. If there was a chance to save Sam, Dean would take it. It was one major red flag for Dean that something was more than wrong with Sam.īobby gets Dean to hold off handling the situation permanently by saying 'He's your case.' Sam hadn't simply not raised a fuss, he had stared in open fascination. He watched Sam stand idly by as Castiel tortured the young boy, Aaron, to discover that Balthazar had purchased his soul.

Sam is not and has not behaved like his brother since he came back into Dean's life. He is uncomfortable, anxious, and agitated. He discusses the situation with Bobby, considering either walking away from Sam or shooting him.
