I felt like the beginning scenes in the bunker in “The Bad Seed” were an exercise in almost working as a team again. Sam, Dean, and Cas are talking together trying to puzzle out what to do next, but there’s one thing Sam and Dean skirt around and don’t quite get to. Not really out of flat out deception, but more from missing each other’s clues.
We start with Dean remembering his visions of the dark cloud, to the point where Sam has to say his name a couple of times. But he says he’s fine, and they drop it.
Then they’re talking about an absent God and Sam says, “It’s possible he’s still around, closer than you might think.” Dean replies, “What makes you say that?” but Cas immediately speaks before Sam answers.
Then we get Cas having his spell problem. They put him back in the chair and Dean has his hand on Cas until Cas says that, “It’s difficult with these voices.”
At which point Dean immediately does this:
And Sam says, “Are there voices?” and looks like this:
It seems to me that both Sam and Dean reacted a little strongly to what Cas said. Like they were just about to say, “Hey, I’ve had some voices/visions going on, too…maybe we should compare notes on this.”
But then Cas says it’s just angel radio and they relax.
As far as we know, Sam knows that Dean had a vision and that she spoke to Dean but Sam doesn’t know about the bond she talked about (and possibly any urges to protect the baby that Dean might only vaguely be aware of himself). And as far as we know, Dean doesn’t know anything about the weird vision Sam had at the hospital (or even that Sam was ever infected with the black vein stuff).
Communication among Team Free Will has gotten better, but it’s still not quite where it needs to be to really hash out all the problems to be faced.
