where he basically says that he CRIED for Castiel to come visit him when Sam was gone, and Castiel never showed I don't remember that part--though to be fair, I didn't watch every ep last season--but I do remember Dean blowing up at Cas (justly, IMO) over the fact that Cas wouldn't come to try to help Dean figure out what was wrong with Sam but showed up in a heartbeat when Dean thought he had a line on Gabriel's horn. Dean's reactions might have been harsh, largely because Dean's reactions to that sort of thing almost always are harsh, but Cas definitely bears a great deal of blame. And the thing is, I think Cas knew deep down that what he was doing was wrong and that Dean would call him on it. He could rationalize like crazy as long as he wasn't around Dean, beg God for a sign while conveniently ignoring the fact that Dean had just practically quoted 1 Corinthians to him. It reminds my of my former youth pastor's daughter who would act up in church and studiously avoid making eye contact with him while he was on the platform because she knew he'd call her down with a look. (Seriously, Sam's response to "Look anywhere but at the camera"? *Exactly* what she used to do.) So yeah. Agreed.
