maybe I wouldn’t have to rewatch supernatural sm if every current series that exists had a max of like 8-10 episodes a season bc the general audience’s attention span has shrunk tenfold in the past decade
Upon reading this post by @springdai about 15x09 The Trap, I did some digging to find the script for investigating jacting joices purposes.
As expected, Dean looking after Cas like he had more to say was indeed an acting choice.
HOWEVER, the very last line "As Dean and Cass, victorious and reconciled, enter the Rift--" is making me feel crazy.
While "reconcile" here could easily mean "restoring friendly relations between" (first definition on Google), since this is the divorce arc, it makes much more sense in the context of "marriage reconciliation", especially when taken with Rowena basically doing marriage counseling with them in hell earlier in the season.
I'm telling you this show makes me feel so so unwell.
Here's the script (opens in google drive) of those scenes (transcript under cut):

(I'm so sorry idk how to put in emphasis)

EXT. PURGATORY - DAY
On Dean. Moving through the wilds of Purgatory-- he looks crazed, desperate, lost. Searching for sight of a Blossom, searching for Cass. No luck finding either.
His WATCH beeps. He checks the time-- his stopwatch, running down from THIRTY MINUTES. Dean's final hour in Purgatory.
(CONTINUED)

DEAN
Cass!
After a few more lunges forward through the trees-- Dean stops. Catching his breath. Realizing.
He looks at the sky, at the ground. And closes his eyes. Then, much more quietly--
DEAN
Cass.
And we realize: he's praying.
DEAN
Can you hear me?
But there is only silence. A long beat on Dean.
DEAN
I hope it's not too late, that wherever you are-- you can hear this.
(then)
I should've stopped you
A beat.
DEAN
When Mom died-- I blamed myself. Plenty. But even then- I had plenty left to go around. so I put what I couldn't take on you.
(then)
I wanted you to stay-- of course I wanted you to stay.
You're my best friend.
(then)
But-- I let you go, 'cause it was easier than admitting I was wrong and...
A beat.
DEAN
I'm sorry.
He's lost Cass in Purgatory, he doesn't have the Blossom, he's running out of time. Off Dean, shattered, DEFEATED--

EXT. PURGATORY - DAY (PRESENT)
Dean trudges to the Rift. Checks his stopwatch, only three minutes left. Dean, heartbroken-- turns, surveys.
Hoping against hope that Cass will make it back somehow. But there's no sight of him. As he turns back to the Rift--
--Cass, seriously fucked up, slams against a nearby tree.
CASTIEL (O.S.)
Dean.
Dean turns-- sees Cass. Injured, propped against a tree.
CASTIEL
You made it.
DEAN
I made it? You--
In disbelief, Dean moves to Cass-- too relieved. He HUGS him, They part--
DEAN
Are you okay?
CASTIEL
I'll be fine.
DEAN
I just-- how?
CASTIEL
They were after me, not you--realized it was safer to give myself up.
DEAN
They brought you to Eve?
CASTIEL
We were en route. I waited--I saw this.

Cass holds out a Leviathan Blossom. On Dean-- holy shit
CASTIEL
It got a bit-- smushed.
(then)
Once I had the Blossom, I fought--caught them off guard. They fought back... I managed to get away...
DEAN
It's-- amazing. You did-- amazing
CASTIEL
They're still looking for me. We should hurry--
Cass trudges to the Rift. On Dean.
DEAN
Cass.
CASTIEL
Dean-- you don't have to.
(then)
I heard your prayer
As Dean and Cass, victorious and reconciled, enter the Rift--
Dean’s confession to cas in the trap is still so insane because like… he has NEVER been that open about his feelings in his LIFE. kneeling on the floor and crying and telling cas he doesn’t get why he is the way he is and he’s sorry and he forgives him and he hopes he can hear him. so much so that he says it twice. that WAS dean’s confession y’all. he bared his soul to him. and he was going to do it all over again in person in case cas hadn’t heard him? because he needed to say it, he needed cas to know? his face when cas says he heard his prayer, as if he had more to say? cas knowing that if he let dean say anything else, say the one thing they haven’t been saying, the empty might take him right then and there? im nauseous
i just love it when bts dress like they're all going to different locations like here:
jimin looks like he's about to walk some fancy runway in paris and ruin every model's career indefinitely
joon about to pull an all-nighter at the campus library one night before an important exam
jungkook looks like he's on his break of some military training camp he signed himself up for
yoongi about to leave for a morning walk at 2pm
hobi ready for his picnic brunch date with some nice old ladies at the local park
undercover seokjin is back
and taehyung looks like he finally did his laundry after two months so he has to roam around in whatever he found in his closet that wasn't stained or stinking
