Something about an archer on TV seemingly targeting Dean and Cas, and Cas asking “you really think it’s wise to be drinking on the job?” and then Dean asking “what show you been watching?” and then Cas taking a sip of the same beer that Dean saved for him while they watch two men fall in love with each other over liking the same show. In the same scene about Cupid.
hi yes sorry i am a huge emotional nerd rn thinking abt the "so this it? E.T. goes home" scene. like yea on the very surface level it's a 'ha ha alien cas' joke. but. like have you SEEN E.T.? have you seen when he goes home?! i still cry watching it to this day! it's a boy losing his best friend in the whole world, having to let him go. it's heartbreaking. and full of so much love. dean calling cas E.T., no doubt to his elliot, is just soooo !!! like this is pop culture boy. this is kid in the 80s boy. he's not just calling cas an alien, he's saying, in his very dean way, you're my very best friend in the whole world, and this is gonna hurt like hell and i'm going to miss you so much. and of course cas doesn't get the reference. and dean rolls his eyes fondly and maybe he knew all along cas wouldn't get so that's why he said it. AND the placement of this scene, in the bar as they're waiting for the cupid to show up where two men will be matched together in a surprising twist, AND after the symbolic bow firing on the TV when cas walked in to meet with dean (like i don't think this means anything cupid related. i don't think it means that they are soulmates or fated in-world, destiel is abt choice after all. i think it's just a fun little symbolic shot to sort of. romantic-code them). but anyway, there are just so many layers to this scene all imo saying something about what dean and cas mean to each other. they are best friends. they love each other. dean, as always, cannot stand the thought of him being gone.
