Yeah, it seemed to be played like a solution, but I don't see how it could be given what little we know. But maybe the live donor thing makes a difference, or just the magic of Crowley, who knows?
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

I was thinking that it's like fuel -- you have it until it runs out. So, Cas has about a season's worth of grace.
Although, I don't know why the loss of grace manifests itself as painful. It seems to me that the effect of losing grace is to become more and more human, but that wouldn't be painful. Or maybe that's what happens when the grace is not the owners t /handwavium

Maybe just the usual everyday amount of human pain registers as extremely painful to angels who haven't experienced it before?

I like that. But I don't think that was where they were going.

I can't begin to parse it, because I'm so influenced by fic, which basically equated losing grace to becoming more human. Needing sleep, needing to shave, shit, becoming more enslaved to bodily needs. This exhaustion is new and inexplicable to me. It seems like Show is equating "losing one's grace" with dying from sleeplessness (which, now that I think of it, was what Sam almost died of that one time when he was remembering Hell).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We've seen Cas been "simply" human after having had his grace removed, and there was no pain involved. I think this time, the pain, the exhaustion, the dying, was related to how it was acquired.

For that matter, Metatron talked as if the removal of Cas' grace somehow imbued him with a human soul-the former expected to see the latter again in Heaven after life as a human and hear his stories.

I wonder if the first time he lost his mojo he was downgraded to a soul in a similar fashion?

Kneel before Glod. ~Stephen Colbert
Perhaps it was a result of the spell Metatron cast when he removed Cas' grace, and not simply the removal of his grace. So... kill a Nephilim + acquire a cupid's arrow + take a warrior angel's grace = jettisons angels from Heaven and makes the warrior angel a human soul.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Wow, last night's show pretty much just threw Anvils of Parallelism at our heads for an hour. Jaysus.
I think Dean's undemoning was way too easy and way too fast. I didn't want the entire season to be Demon Dean, but, really. It's too little pay off to too much set-up and too much afterplay.
ETA: I cannot believe I spelled "threw" as "through." Posting before caffeine is more dangerous than Ambien posting.
