Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

WHY CAN I NOT READ TAGS?
I never actually click through to the link I post here. Useless. And I just reblogged another scene from that ep from someone else's tumblr on mine. But it didn't ring a bell.
Okay--I don't remember the context here. Is he lying? Of course he's lying. But what, precisely, is he lying about? He's Sam, right, at this point, with a soul and a wall?

Defending Your Life is this season, right after Dean kills Amy (sob) in The Girl Next Door. So Sam is all souled up, yes, and I don't think he's lying there -- I think he doesn't yet know that Dean killed Amy, and he is feeling pretty good.

He's a Winchester. He never feels good. He can't be stupid enough to think he actually feels good, because that means the apocalypse has already happened, and for some reason he has no memory of it.
Or you could be right.
In my head (and I really need to rewatch) the bad times started right after the Castiel dropped the wall. This is after Dean offered him drugs, right? So what happened to make him actually okay? Why can I not remember anything more than six or so episodes back? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?
(I totally know what I'll be doing today while I pretend to work during the pain)

Dean offered him drugs in S6. This is early S7.
Sam had a few bad moments after being resouled (like at the end of Unforgiven, when they visit that town with the spider things and he remembers some of what he and Samuel got up to), but the worst of it isn't until Cas drops the wall at the very end of S6.
You're probably better off than I am, though. I can't remember stuff I'm supposed to do from day to day, but I can remember dialogue from this show.

Right, so this is shortly after the wall drops, but he's okay--why is he okay? What is helping him out?
(I get around that by not doing anything from day to day--you have no idea how *fucked* I am for taxes--so fucked)

(Let's not talk about taxes, since ours aren't done either, and they terrify me. If S. dies before me, I'm fucked.)
I think this was when they weren't making too much of Lucifer, after the initial episode that showed him hanging around in there. Other than that, I'd have to rewatch.
Looking at S7, I think Sam was supposed to be holding Lucifer at bay with the thumb-in-the-palm thing, until Repo Men, when he really "let him in" to help find/save Dean. It's only a couple episodes later that he starts losing it completely.

Okay, so I'm starting the rewatch while I wait for that one work email, and CAS!!! I forgot I liked God!Cas. Hated reading fic about him, but I did love him onscreen.

Ack! OMG. I know the common response to Sera moving on is to be glad because she mucked up this season, but I like it, so whatevs.
This episode is rough for me--Sam and his visions, Dean and his denial, Cas coming through at the last minute and being sincere--and then being lost. It hit a lot of notes for me. Plus bonus Death and Lucifer were I wasn't expecting it, sassy God (not Sassy God!), and typically good Bobby.
Moving on to Hello Cruel World.

Hey baby, you're hotter than a ceiling fire in a Winchester residence.That's even worse than my "I'd hit that like a semi on a '67 Impala." that I texted Cass a few weeks ago.
