Oh, bucklemming with their fast-growing monster babies... only they foisted this one off on Dean. To me, this one has always felt like a ham-fisted attempt to balance out the Amy Pond storyline from earlier this season, that just makes it all the more unbalanced.
Sam might think the scales are balanced now, but mostly because he's not exactly in touch with reality himself here... or at the very least not seeing Dean clearly. This is the part of s7 where the writers seemed to forget Sam was constantly hallucifering all over the place, but that makes a hell of a lot more sense when we do remember that while watching.

My rewatch notes from July 2019 (mostly about Sam and Dean and their main conflict throughout s6 and s7, really… and Sam’s dependence on his Magic Anti-Hallucination Button to the exclusion of actually perceiving reality unless it fits with his personal understanding of it. Plus, proof there can be good stuff even in egregious bucklemming episodes… Seriously, if you only click one link here, make it this one.)
