It started with a Sam and Dean memory in Dean's head. Sam started with the kindness of strangers.
I am not saying Sam is wrong to have gone out on his own (for college--not when he ran away from home), but neither is Dean for being hurt that Sam's heavenly memories were of someone else's Thanksgiving (taste of normal), hanging out on his own with a dog having run off, and leaving for Stanford (in what we already knew was a blow out fight between Sam and John).
So Dean dropping the amulet, it's not about Sam going off to college, really. It's about all of it. Not even Sam, but Sam and Pamela and Ellen and Jo and Mom and God and the cumulative loss of people and loss of faith in the mission and self and relationships.
Sam... is not that kid who ran away from his brother and holed up with a dog, not any longer. And we, the audience know that. Sam knows that (HIS LITTLE FACE, OMG! SO MUCH PAIN THERE WHEN IT DROPPED!), but Dean? Doesn't. Or doesn't trust that he does.
OH MY GOD
This was so much MAN PAIN
Loved the ep, a lot, but DAMN
EVERY SINGLE CODA FIC better involve Sam fishing that amulet out of the trash.
I think Sam learnt a lot more than Dean did. Dean became aware of some facts he hadn't previously known of, but he took everything personally right away. Sam learnt stuff about Dean, and about his family. Hopefully it's enough, because I'm not sure where Dean's epiphany is going to come from.
And...Castiel! He believed God was in this, just like Sam believed angels were good. Oh, Gabriel must be laughing at him now.
Poor heartbroken Cas. And, really, Dean's the only person who can stop him from becoming End!Cas, and I'm not sure that's his priority right now. Or maybe what he said about Sam being his friend will count for something. But Sam didn't see how far Cas had sunk.

I keep remembering how Sam wore it while Dean was in hell, and how he pulled it over his head to give it back to him right away, as soon as Dean came back. Dean valued that amulet, dammit, and I want him to keep it.
Poor heartbroken Cas.
I think Castiel might be the most broken member of Team Free Will right now. Sam and Dean can turn to each other, even if they're not doing so right now, but Castiel really doesn't have anyone at all. He doesn't have his faith any longer. He's just totally adrift.
Also a lot of scene insert fic about Sam's stolen 2 weeks and the beating (no doubt) that Dean got at John's hand about it. And what did Mary and John fight about? Family business?
Castiel could have Dean. He fell for Dean. He's been his other pillar of faith. But Dean's just one man, a mayfly compared his existence. But he's an apocalyptical mayfly.

It took me a few to read the fell for without slash as my default view.
Meanwhile, OH, BOYS!!!!!
TV.COM TEASER:
hSPOILER ALERT! Supernatural's penultimate episode for this season features a doozy of a lip lock. Writers Ben Edlund and Sara Gamble, who have played off the show's rabid fanbase several times this season, will have the demon Crowley infect the minds of both Sam and Dean, causing them to have unusual feelings for each other. In a dream sequence, the two brothers will finally kiss. [Wincest Times]
Off topic, they also note:
Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Dollhouse star Summer Glau has signed on to a new NBC pilot in which she'll play a emotionless woman who knows how to fight and/or is good at science. The project's working title is Already Canceled, and Reaper's Tyler Labine will co-star. [Hollywood Hoo-Ha!]
Oh, snap!
So, did we cover that Sam (through his memories) did the thrice denial of Dean? Did we? Because I've had two glasses of wine, and I'm cracking the fuck up over this.
Three times, escalating to the worst night of his life. The righteous man hath been denied three times before morning.
The black handyman, OTOH, Joshua (Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yehoshua; Greek: Ἰησοῦς, same as Jesus) had some very good advice to "transmit" And the authority to send Zach's people packing.
