didn't have some sort of protective amulet, conjure bag, or was standing in a protective circle.
What was the window doing open and why wasn't there a salt line in front of it and the door?

Because books.
It doesn't make a lot of sense that Sam and Dean didn't lay salt lines to protect their own vulnerable bodies, if nothing (and no one) else.
I think the easiest reason to explain Pamela's death, though, meta as it may be, is to give both of them something (more) to feel guilty/angsty about. (As if they didn't already, what her being blind thanks to them, of course.)

Ah...I haven't rewatched, but I think you guys are right. I was wr-- wrrr- wro--, not right. Still, Poor Pamela.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
By the way, Matt's icon is very amusing, but if someone made a Sam icon that said something like "Sam Girl Who Is a Boy" or something equally contradictory...that would be cool? Remember, Sam can kill you with his brain.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Leaving aside all the rest of it, it occurred to me this morning that there was more or less one thing in the world these two still trusted, and possibly their only concrete tie to the real world. And Castiel just fucked the hell out of that.

Oh shit, you're right. They're always going to wonder if it's really Bobby on the phone now.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Typo - yeah, the parallels between Ruby and Dean really struck me when I first mainlined the first half of the Season. (Points at fic.)
Mind you, I have thinky thoughts about Ruby, and a Rubycentric plotbunny nibbling at my toes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It doesn't make a lot of sense that Sam and Dean didn't lay salt lines to protect their own vulnerable bodies, if nothing (and no one) else.
Could they get back to them past the salt? Or would it be up to Pam to let them in that way too?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am pretty sure that a salt line would have kept them from their bodies. Or, at least, up to Pam to let them in through it. They were certainly susceptible while in their wispy state.

Oh, that's true. Good catch!
Pam was sort of on her own, then. Maybe Friends of Winchester should supply themselves with giant iron hula hoops they can sit inside.
