(And of course, 'go away" standing in for eternal torment in hell.) And Sam... you know, I think that Sam is turning into his image of Dean this season, and that's certainly not going to end well.

God, I'm so struck by how Dean can't say 'die' or 'go to hell' or 'leave you'. He just can't do it. His defenses are up so strongly that the words won't even leave his mouth, and that's incredibly un-Deanlike for such a practical, cards-on-the-table guy. His fear must be eating him up.
