I think that Dean made the only decision that he's capable of making under the circumstances. I think that Sam would understand that. I think the issue will be that Dean didn't come clean after the fact and give Sam the choice. He should have. I haven't trusted Ezekiel from the beginning for the way he's played on Dean's fears. Hopefully we'll get some answers this week.
As for the continued violation of Sam's agency, this time with Dean's permission, it is becoming a little too horrific for me. I have a friend who quit watching two seasons ago because of what she termed "Sam abuse." He was ready to die at the end of last season. I just wonder how much more can they damage the poor guy and have him survive. What is their end game? I hope it isn't A. become an angel or B. accept Lucifer a la End!Verse. . I was hoping earlier in the season that he would be healed, Ezekiel would refuse to leave, the whole ejection thing would be a lie, and Dean would offer himself as a vessel to make amends to Sam. That would have been an interesting twist, and Dean needs to learn what it's like to be the one without free will. The other thing that would have been if Ezekiel had underestimated Sam, and Sam had subsumed the angel when he turned out not to be a friend and used him as a power source. I mean if they insist on tying Sam to the supernatural, why not let him be a human with supernatural powers and use them for good?
