In addition to the bandage, there was a close up of his hand being cut by the glass. Just to make sure you knew exactly what happened. I kidna think there is something there that will come up later.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
During the later part of the episode the thought did occur to me that they picked the hallucinating blood junkie to go retrieve the leftover jar of irreplaceable Lovecraftean monster blood they needed to save Cas and the world. And that they might have wanted to spend a little more time thinking about the best strategic division of labor beforehand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is he a junkie? Or a guy with a past habit? He's shown absolutely no urge to drink blood unless he's under supernatural effect or it's a means to an end for a long time now. There's been no temptation outside of MBV since he kicked it.

Because books.
I guess they did focus on it, but ... I'm tired of the Sam/blood OTP. Did that. I'm over it.
I don't think Sam would be tempted to drink it ever again, willingly.

I would much rather the hallucinations are Sam's brain trying to cope with remembering being in the cage than some kind of blood magic. Personally. Show doesn't always do what I want, though.

Sam drinking blood has been about power when he's remotely in his right mind. I think that's his true addiction. And he's not craving or needing power right now, so I don't see any reason to be leery about him and blood, and I'm pretty sure Dean would trust him on it.
eta: Does the timeline work for blood to be related to his visions? He was hallucinating at the house, and he'd had no blood then.

I agree, ita. But someone on Tumblr was suggesting it would help heal him, which ... if they haven't seen the promo for next week, they should.

Why would it heal him? Has it healed him before?

I don't think it would heal anything. That's what they said. I think it's a dumb idea.
It was the fourth or fifth frantic post about "Sam's bandaged hand!!!!1!" I've seen, though.

Where are these people? Let me at them! I'll fix their stupid watching-show-wrongnessness.
Or don't. I'm currently grumbly about most of my tumblr feeds. The SPN-centric one is leaning away from D/C, and it's damn hard to find D/C tumblrs that aren't too unbalanced for me.
I read a chapter yesterday of a D/C AU where Cas is a fallen angel--this is quite fine. Dean is a mute pacifistic lover of nature who can hear the songs of everything in the universe. Sam is a fully-invested badass hunter that hunts with his father.
I get the urge to what-if, but who are those people? Why is this in an SPN community? You've what-iffed the characters out of resemblance to why I show up. Fanfic can only reasonably take so much permutation and remain fanficcy. And as an AU D/C fan, I think I already accept more than many.
