DEAN DID NOT FORGET ABOUT CAS. HE IS PROTECTING HIM BY NOT BRINGING HIM WITH. He left Cas behind for all the reasons he textually gave Sam, and he’s worried he’s gonna DIE there, so he wasn’t about to call and tell Cas what? Goodbye? Hell no. But he’s coming back and Cas is gonna RIP him a new one. I would not be surprised if this leads directly to some textualization. NO promises on what, exactly, but this is amazing. He took ONLY Ketch who he textually says “I don’t care about” him. THIS ENTIRE EPISODE WAS ACTUAL FANFIC.
