The question heading into the series finale was: What was left to wrap up?
And how would Sam and Dean’s story end?
And now, we know that too.
Living their happy, Chuck-free life, Sam and Dean work out!
Or rather, Sam does.
Then they do laundry!
Again, just Sam.
And then they make their beds… Sam better than Dean.
But don’t worry, Dean’s cleaning the weapons, so he’s staying busy.
Dean also finds them a case.
Actually, it’s less of a case and more of a pie festival.
As Dean reminds Sam, if they don’t keep living, then their sacrifices were for nothing.
And I believe it.
The father is killed, and the mother’s tongue is removed.
Sam and Deansorry, Agents Kripke and Singer (!!!)
arrive just in time to discover that the father’s body was drained of blood.
When they hear about the mom’s tongue, they whip out dad’s journal!!!
Apparently, this reminds them of an old case John worked back in the day.
Dean’s best guess?
But not for long because Sam decapitates her.
In one final fight scene, the Winchesters once again come out winners.
Instantly, Dean knows it’s bad.
When Sam starts to go for help, Dean asks his brother to “stay with me.”
Dean very quickly realizes this is it for him.
And he tells his brother it’s okay.
“Saving people, hunting things, it’s what we do.”
I’ve always looked up to you.
When we were kids, you were so damn smart.
You never took any of dad’s crap.
I never knew how you did that."
Dean continues, “I didn’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t have you.
It’s always been you and me.”
Dean tells his younger brother that he’ll always be with him as he keeps fighting.
“I love you so much,” Dean says.
He then asks his “baby brother” to tell him it’s okay.
Placing his hand on Dean’s, Sam tells his brother that he can go now.
Sam gives Dean a proper hunter’s funeral, wakes up the next day, and keeps hunting.
Cut to Dean in heaven, where Bobby(!!)
is waiting for him at Harvelle’s!!!
Bobby explains that he’s not in a memory because Jack fixed heaven.
There are no more walls.
you could make new memories.
He lives five miles down the road.
John and Mary are close, too.
“It ain’t just heaven,” Bobby tells Dean.
“It’s the heaven you deserve.”
Bobby and Dean then share a couple of beers.
Dean then, given the choice to do absolutely anything, chooses to go for a drive in Baby.
And that’s when “Carry On Wayward Son” starts playing.
Dean says, “Love this song,” before driving off.
As Dean drives, we watch Sam’s life unfold on earth.
He gets married and has a son whom he names Dean.
He plays catch with him, helps him with his homework, and eventually, grows old.
(The one downfall of this montage?
Then, after his full and happy life, Sam is on his deathbed.
The brothers hug and enjoy a moment together, looking out at all the good that awaits them.
And for some reason, that final “cut” really got me.
The task of ending a series as massive as this seemed impossible.
And yet, I don’t know how else I would’ve wanted it to end.
And I like that we got to see them happy together in a better heaven.
Heaven as it should be.
I can now carry on knowing that there really was peace when Sam and Dean were done.
