You managed that before your coffee? Wow! ::does the "we're not worthy" bowing thing::
Related to that, I wonder, if that's not the case, has the YED foolishly discounted Dean and his impact on and love for Sam. I know it's just the big ol' Romantic in me, but I think, bottom line, the YED doesn't understand love and sacrifice at all, and has mistakenly discounted its power.
No, I agree, and I'm like the world's biggest anti-Romantic. YED has no idea how much of a threat Dean is to him/it. If anyone is going to come between YED and Sam, it's Dean, and YED won't even be able to see it coming, because it will be to do with how much Dean loves Sam and Sam loves Dean -- and it's seems to me that all the demons see when they see this is a weakness, something they can use to hurt Dean. But really, it's the source of their strength. (This, of course, is why from a tactical perpective, YED's decision to take John's life in exchange for Dean's was really, really dumb. Because John might have saved Sam, however we should take that, but Dean will make it his destiny to save Sam.)
