If only they watched their own show...


A dialogue from 4.01 “Lazarus Rising” that’s exciting in hindsight:

Sam: We were thinking some high level demon pulled Dean out.
Ruby: No way. Sam, human souls don’t just walk out of Hell and back into their bodies easily. The sky bleeds, the ground quakes. It’s cosmic. No demon can swing that. Not Lilith, not anybody. 

What she says clearly signifies there had been cases of angels dragging people back from the dead before Castie's revival of Dean. More importantly, Season 6 Sam seemed to have forgotten what Ruby had told him – otherwise he would have realized at once Crowley couldn’t possibly have brought him, much less his soul, back (Lilith couldn’t swing that, and she was Crowley’s superior), no matter what the sly demon claimed. Too bad there was no Becky Rosen to remind him of Ruby's words.

Also, I don’t remember any cosmic quakes caused by Death putting Sam’s soul back into his body. You know, it’s funny: Castiel made a show out of resurrecting Dean, but his resurrection of Sam went down completely without a pomp. On a good day, the guys could tease each other like so:  

Dean: Of course Cas likes me better, Sammy. The day he brought me back? Acres of forests were burnt and tons of glass shattered.
Sam: Oh well. But you’ve never had Death himself marching into Hell to give you back your soul.
Dean: If only you knew, Sammy... Death went down there because I said so. And, dude, we’ve even had lunch together a couple of times. Gotcha!
