It’s a small comment, but it retroactively puts a lot of Sam’s character arc into perspective.
There’s still time for Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles to reunite on screen.

(Dean, on the other hand, getsa much more fitting ending inThe Winchesters.)
And neither do I.
When Dean eventually does die in Season 15, Sam learns to move on without him.
Two brothers follow their father’s footsteps as hunters, fighting evil supernatural beings of many kinds, including monsters, demons, and gods that roam the earth.
He settles down, buys a house, and has a family of his own.
He does all of thatbecause without Dean, hunting doesn’t mean anything.
Sam doesn’t see hunting as his calling, but rather his burden.
Thus, Dean’s death opens the door for something new.
