There are two things that Cas realistically (as established in the lore) could have done to escape purgatory with Dean:
Carved out his grace to become human and go through the portal normally
Hitched a ride with Dean (like Benny did, or with Dean as a vessel)
I do think that "a group of angels dragged him out so that he could spy on the Winchesters and report back" has the potential to be very interesting too but man, these two options would have been super interesting too
No thoughts, just parallels to Buck being sorry for himself with a kid he loves more than life
Incorrect Destiel Crack
Dean: I’m the one who failed to grip you tight and raise you from Purgatory.
Castiel: Nothing you could have done would have saved me, because I didn't want to be saved.
Incorrect, but how the convo over escaping Purgatory should have gone.
I made this gifset from Spn s8e07 “A little slice of Kevin.” Some dialogue is s4e1 too, because it seemed like missed opportunity for Dean to use Castiel’s own words to win argument.
Dean and Cas with adapted dialogue from 8x07 and 4x01
DEAN: We need to talk, Cas. (4x01 Castiel’s line) CASTIEL: What? (8x07) DEAN: I’m the one who failed to grip you tight and raise you from Purgatory. (4x01 Castiel’s line) CASTIEL: Nothing you could have done would have saved me, because I didn't want to be saved. (8x07) DEAN: What's the matter? You don't think you deserve to be saved? (4x01 Castiel’s line) CASTIEL: I needed to do penance. After the things I did on Earth and in Heaven, I didn't deserve to be out. (8x07) DEAN: This is your problem, Cas. You have no faith. (4x01 Castiel’s line) Faith means you believe the unbelievable, and forgive the unforgivable. (fic) CASTIEL: Good things don’t just happen, Cas. Why should a human rescue me from Purgatory? (4x01 Dean & Castiel line mix)
Now just crack:
DEAN: Because you’re my husband. CASTIEL: Since when? DEAN: Since 5 hours from now, get in the car. We’re going to Vegas. CASTIEL: Hold on Dean, it will be faster if I mojo us to Vegas.
I get that he was under the influence of a vengeful ghost, but Dean does hold Sam responsible for things that were out of his control. Yeah, Sam went all-in on the demon blood thing, but he was being manipulated by Ruby and was trying to do the best he could with the situation he was in. Sam didn't KNOW he was soulless, nor did he choose to be soulless, nor did he choose to be dragged out of hell in the first place. Those are mistakes, yes, but it's so disingenuous to put all of that on Sam.

That face. 😂
