Hi. Just stsrted reading the transcript of 13×05 … and I was wondering, if anybody knows by any chance, if Dean has ever eaten a PB&J before thst episode … because we definitely know (have been told multiple times) that Cas loved the PB&J’s the most when he was human. That’s all. Thanks.

Hello, Nonnie! Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. 

The only time Dean was given a PB&J in canon (before the one he ate in 13×05) was when he was a 4-year old. We saw it in Dean’s memory in ep 5×16 (Dark Side of the Moon). 

Mary even offered to cut the crusts off as we can see in the above image. How do we know the sandwich was specifically a PB&J? Because Same made a comment about it later in that same ep: 

SAM: Man, I never got the crusts cut off my PB & J. I just don’t look at family the way you do.

The next time we see a PB&J is in 9×11 when we are repeatedly told that Cas loved it when he was human and that he missed it while being an angel. 

And then in 13×05 when we see Dean making one for himself. I think PB&Js would be some sort of comfort food for Dean, just not as well-known as pie. If you go back and watch 5×16, you will notice that after Dean comforts Mary and tells her that John still loves her and that he loves her, too, Mary cheers up and offers Dean some pie. 

We all know how much Dean loves pie, but it wasn’t until that ep that we learned Mary used to give him that, so Dean’s love for it had a deeper meaning. Well, in the same ep we learned she made PB&Js for Dean and cut his crusts off. That’s why it’s likely to be a comfort food, too. 

The fact that it became a comfort food for Cas is interesting in the sense that it’s something very human. He missed something that he could still eat as a powered up angel but could not enjoy the same. It became an allegory of the human things he missed the most. Which ones? Well, the ones he mentioned in the premiere of season 10: art, hope, love, dreams. 

Those are the PB&J moments in SPN episodes that my little research came up with. I hope this helps! 😉 

“I just don’t look at family the way you do.” Is such an utter statement about the current differing needs of the brothers being highlighted in season 14, though.

Oh, but that was one of Robbie Thompson’s favorite things (I miss him so bad!), and I’m glad Dabb and his team still keep that up. The Bunker was always a workplace for Sam and HOME for Dean. Now it’s become kind of a workplace under Sam’s influence, but maybe it’s the time Dean finds his own home (endgame wishlist). 😉😉

Oh, definitely. It’s always been there. Dean wanted to nest – be it with Lisa and picturing himself happy with a white picket fence, or with making his little mancave and dolling up his room, whereas Sam was always more packed to go even when he was “settling down” like with Amelia, never really settled in the bunker. But season 14 has been taking it a lot further, it’s like what the entire front page or two of my blog is on about right now.

Edit: I looked back. It’s at least the first three pages. I’ve been hollering about this all week.
