Listen, I'm not great at side characters, but I just don't really think the protagonist's cousin that they spoke to for two lines in one chapter during a family reunion needs a character arc. 🤷

I don't know if you are the right blog to ask this but Apparently Jensen is home. Has it been a week before he could have actually met Misha. Kind of too convenient to "miss out" a possible reunion like that since Misha promised Jensen he will visit them but I get it. And Misha visited Phil and Hilary. The couple are closer to him and Vicky so he might have found comfort there. He has been exploring and travelling a lot.

My concern is why not visit Ackles home? And I don't mean in a romantic reunion way but Out of courtesy just for old times sake? Dee adores Misha and she would have easily welcomed him. Since Misha said he would visit Dee and children for Jensen in the zoom panel.

Now let's think for a moment he did visit Ackles. But why not publicly acknowledge it? You're at a old buddies home and possibly fulfilling a promise you made. Why not pull at the Cockles thread when a book and a podcast is happening for him? The man had 3 Gish items in Jensen's name. So if he visited his home in CO why no photos? If not visited Why not visit Ackles?

If JP and JA had a reunion they would have published it all over. But Misha and Jensen don't do that. Prime example is the blankygate. I am so baffled by them. I understand there is possibility Misha didn't want to publish where Ackles are living but that cat is already out of the bag.

You should keep in mind that they only show in SM what they want, which is only the tiny tip of the iceberg of their private lifes. I was also a bit like you, I felt frustrated but then I realized SM really means nothing. Just think about Dee's post: she has only posted a single picture of Jensen and her, hiking in the mountains. Does that mean Jensen only stayed one day at Colorado? Does that mean that was the only thing they did? And there are no pictures of Jensen with his children, does that mean he didn't see them? And we know it because Dee decided to post it with the intention of drawing public attention to that charity organization in Austin. Meanwhile, Jensen hasn't posted anything about his family in SM, even if he has stayed with them for many days or even weeks.

I'm sure Misha visited Danneel, but they just decided not to post it in SM (btw, both Misha and Hilary didn't post anything either, we finally knew it because Misha acknowledged her in the horse riding video. But no pictures of them together). I don't know whether Jensen was already there, personally I think he was still in Toronto for The Boys. But the idea that Misha visited Dee and the kids, even if Jensen wasn't there, it's more than enough for me.

I'm sure a J2 reunion would have been published in SM. It would be a great PR stunt after the confirmation of the J2 fallout.
