The Impala, of course, has all the things other cars have… and a few things they don’t. But none of that stuff’s important. This is the stuff that’s important. The army man that Sam crammed in the ashtray - it’s still stuck there. The Legos that Dean shoved into the vents – to this day, heat comes on and they can hear ‘em rattle. These are the things that make the car theirs – really theirs. Even when Dean rebuilt her from the ground up, he made sure all these little things stayed, ‘cause it’s the blemishes that make her beautiful.
We’ve finally come back to where we were, relationship-wise before the Mark, before Dean rejected Cas and booted him out of the bunker. The end of 11x03, where a nurturing Dean takes Cas into his home is how 9x03 should have ended. This is Dean finally redeeming himself.
I hope this means we’re finally, FINALLY picking up the Dean/Cas storyline again. It got derailed after the Mark. I suppose there are a lot of reasons for that, but I think it mostly had to do with the show’s unusually early renewal for the following season. It meant Carver knew he’d have a whole extra season to play with, so Dean and Cas basically had to remain stagnant.
Home is where the heart is.
