I think this is going to be the season of Dean Realizing Sam Is An Equal. Here to date, Dean felt he had to look out for Baby Brother; that has been his entire life's work. Dean's issues took a waaaay back seat to Sam's. I sense those tables turning.
Sam is proving he can deal with shit on his own, in his own way, and Dean can now move on to dealing with his own considerable problems. AND...best part here...Sam can be the real support system Dean hasn't had since, well, ever? Lisa could've been some sort of support but Dean was not in a place to recognize that. Now Dean just needs to admit he can lean on Sam and Sam can take it. But that's a big step for our Deano.
I've really loved this season, overall! I love that they've stripped away so much of the uber-powerful stuff (though I miss Misha something fierce), so now it feels much more close and dangerous and fragile.
