It was a love story from the very beginning.
You are the one in my heart (Part III)
Hello! Third part of this topic here! Very romantic!
I want to say thank you to @destielle , my beta fixing all this mess and making it readable! Thank you girl! 😘💕
We gonna talk about 'The Vessel', episode 11x14, it’s the one in which Dean discovers that Cas is possessed by Lucifer which leads to a huge change in his priorities.
When Dean and Sam call Castiel for his assistance with time travel, the cunning Archangel sees an opportunity in it.
Dean has plenty of trust in his friend Castiel, but this will drive him into a series of events that won’t end good. So the whole point of the scene where they outline the plan of getting a specific weapon together is to get one point across: Dean’s trust in Castiel. Which also occurs to Casifer as he will take advantage of it.
But not just Dean trusts him, Sam, too.
When Casifer is not able to get inside the submarine, Sam thinks he’s sharing the same concerns with his friend Cas, reading wrongly from Casifers reaction. Lucifer gets so disgusted and done with all the corny love, worries and "sincere brotherhood" between Sam and Cas that he gets mad, maybe kind of jealous even, and reacts by openly showing himself and hurting Sam by reaching for his soul.
That's when Castiel fights his way back to control, blocking Lucifer and speaking to Sam for a brief moment. And that’s when we find out what was raging inside Castiel's hurt heart to make him say yes to Lucifer…
CASTIEL: I wanted to be of service to the fight. And only Lucifer can beat her.
SAM: You chose this? You have to fight, Cas! Eject him now!
CASTIEL: I can't! It's taking all my strength to keep him from killing you. And besides, we need him!
SAM: No Cas, we don't. We'll find another way to stop Amara!
CASTIEL: We need him to save Dean.
SAM: You can't time travel.
CASTIEL: Only Lucifer can.
Castiel wanted this. Castiel was feeling so useless and therefore desperate that it led him to do this.
And now Lucifer has the As. Sam and Cas need him to get Dean back from the time travel.
There's a scene in the submarine, where Delphine asks Dean to kill her. That’s a nod to the title of the episode, because we are representatively talking about Castiel here. Because Cas is the vessel.
This is a Berens episode, so we should keep in mind that he likes to parallel cut scenes to make us see something, opening up new perspectives, connections… and he chose to parallel Daphne asking Dean to kill her with American Marines fighting a war against Germans. Why? Because to kill the vessel for the greater good is a war decision. BECAUSE LETTING LUCIFER FIGHT USING CASTIEL'S VESSEL EVEN IF IT MEANS CASTIEL DYING FOR THE GREATER GOOD IS A WAR DECISION.
DELPHINE (whispering) Kill me.
DEAN I don't have to kill you. Okay, I can just cut it, it will work.
Dean doesn't want to kill her, even if that's the wiser thing to do.
DELPHINE Not with this. It's spell-bound to my blood, my heart. It’s power lives and dies with me. Do it!
This is a reflection of Castiel's vessel being possessed by Lucifer.
One of my favorite scenes is Lucifer mocking Sam while mocking Dean's feelings for Castiel…
LUCIFER: I will touch your soul. Just because you asked so nicely, and I'll use your spell to blast through the warding and retrieve Dean and the uh, Hand of God, and then when Dean comes back and he finds this place decorated with your guts, I will tell him the truth, Sam. I'll just say, 'Dean - '
[LUCIFER pauses and smiles, before putting on his CASTIEL voice.]
- 'Dean… he knew the risks. He wouldn't take no for an answer.'
Lucifer not just imitates Castiel's voice, but Castiel's puppy eyes as if he was looking at Dean. He is mocking the eye fucking, the feelings Dean has for his angel. He is mocking it because he knows about their relationship, every angel and demon knows about them, and now Lucifer knows it too, because he is inside of Cas. Because he senses Dean's longing for Castiel and vice versa. And he mocks them.
So… Lucifer knows… Sammy knows… and Amara noticing Castiel's beautiful blue eyes, calling him "blue eyes" is noticing his charm, too.
Before I continue talking here I want to clarify something: Dean felt sorry for the submarine crew, but he was MORE WORRIED AND SADDER ABOUT LOSING CASTIEL IN FRONT OF HIS EYES.
With that being said, I want you to recall the way Delphine dies while using the Hand of God. She literally exploded because her body (her vessel) couldn't handle such a power. Dean saw that with his own two eyes.
After this he witnesses Casifer handling the Hand of God, of course he didn't know the weapon couldn't be used twice then. That's why Dean screams NO!!!! desperately, with horror in his eyes, because he thought right there Castiel's vessel could be destroyed in front of him just like Daphne was.
Then… at the end of the episode, we have this dialogue between Sam and Dean.
SAM: Yeah. What do we do?
DEAN: What else? We hunt Lucifer, trap the bastard, and save Cas.
SAM: Like I said. Lucifer may be in control now, but Cas may not come back willingly. I mean he chose it.
DEAN: No. No, not possible.
Dean brings up the Cas topic, sitting alone, brooding, sad, worried. Sam sees him and approaches him like a good brother, to comfort him.
Sam tries to explain that it was Castiel's choice, but Dean doesn't want to believe him, he says: ‘NO. NO, NOT IMPOSSIBLE.’ He denies it three times, with such a broken heart, you can tell from the look in his eyes.
So… what does Sammy? He changes the subject…
SAM: So how'd you get through today? I mean what did you do?
DEAN: Nothing. Sam, they…
[DEAN stares out over the water as he shakes his head. He looks close to tears.]
DEAN: I was just a witness.
But Dean keeps talking about Cas here. He is sad, and mad at himself because he didn't see the signs. He didn't see Castiel's depression, he didn't want to hear his own voice saying Cas was acting weird. He wasn't there for Cas. And now he is in great danger. He could lose Castiel forever. And that's the one thing in his head, in his heart. That's the only topic he can think about. The following episodes will show us DEAN IS DESPERATE, DEAN ONLY WANTS TO GET CASTIEL BACK AT ANY COST. AMARA IS NOT THE CENTER OF HIS ATTENTION ANYMORE. ALL HIS THOUGHTS AND WORRIES ARE FOCUSED ON CASTIEL.
SAM: Do you wanna talk about it?
DEAN: No. No, story for another day.

Sam also knows why his brother is so down. He knows it, but as always he respects the time Dean's needs to take first.
The camera zooms out, leaving behind a devastated Dean. Is he sad for the crew and Delphine? Of course, yes. But he only got to know them because he couldn’t see what was happening with Cas. And now it’s lost forever. Just like Cas could be.
We already know from previous episodes that Castiel is the one Dean is pining for, the one he is in love with, the one he desires. The only one in his heart. Writers enlightened us about that and now they're showing us unshed tears in Dean's eyes… because he could lose the love of his life... forever.
This episode talked about CASTIEL. And how Dean regrets not noticing his friend wasn't his friend anymore. This feelings are so strong and sad in Dean's heart that he even was about to cry.
Losing Castiel because he didn't see it coming, will be a heavy weight on his shoulders.
And we saw the foreshadow of the war decision we will meet again in episode 11x18. War decision vs Heart decision.
Hope you liked this! See you in the next one!
