End of S15: Speculation
Let me propose that this may be what happens in 15x18, an episode where Dean and Cas apparently (according to Jensen and Misha) will share a scene that was heavy to shoot:
Cas gets his wings back.
Cas makes the choice to go back to Heaven.
So in 15x18, the heavy moment that Jensen and Misha referred to during VegasCon is quite possibly us getting a callback to the ET goes home exchange in S8: we get Cas and Dean saying goodbye.
Maybe this is for the best, they both think. Maybe the gates of Heaven are set to close for good, once the war is won, and no angel shall ever walk the Earth again and this is for the best, they both think.
Dean doesn’t think, not really, but he complies, because he’s learned how to accept things as they are, and let go, and Cas has now made his choice and his arc is complete and he’s ascending back to Heaven to help sort it out and keep angels like Duma from ever even attempting to spread their poison through his home ever again.
Yeah?
No.
I mean. No, I don’t like it, please, no, thank you, please?
So, because this thought overwhelmed me with all its potential, I have written out, in great detail, all my reasons for why I strongly disagree with the idea that Cas might ever end up in Heaven for good at the end of the series.
Watching through the show from 12x19-15x13 I have even stronger faith that he actually won’t, but I needed to get my anxiety out, so there it is.
I do not wish to see Dean and Cas’ journey ending on a goodbye, and I actually don’t believe that’s what we’ll get. I can see the value in Cas getting his powers back and I can see that happening, for sure, but I also believe there may be one final choice for him to make.
And that choice may very well be linked very strongly to his humanity and to where he belongs, which is Earth and with his family, but more importantly, to how he wants to belong there.
