Dean dressed as Cas (he even has a collar with plaid inside, I mean) except for the brown jacket hooks up with a girl in a brown jacket. But it doesn’t end here:
There is a picture of a boat and what looks like a dog with the sign LOST.
It’s almost like the people who make the show are trying to get a point across.
Also pay a little attention to this exchange:
He doesn’t want the healthy omelette, he wants pancakes, but the omelette is there, so… he’ll deal. Almost like he’s settling for something that is not what he really wants but is there. While semi-cosplaying Cas in Gus’ BS.
I rewatched season 12 recently and I realized that this whole hook-up with the waitress happened because Dean had been calling Cas in every episode before this one and Cas kept ignoring him. He’s upset and falls back on old habits.
He’s abjectly upset about both Cas and Mary abandoning him at this point so yup, the girl looks like a carbon copy of young Mary (ew) and there’s sun imagery (Cas) all over the bloody cafe.
Meanwhile giant BS signs everywhere from the diner’s logo while he settles for the omelette instead of the pancakes he really desires.
At “Gus’s” cafe no less. Remind anyone of Cus’s cafe from Bad Boys which exposes the previous storyline of Dean giving up his romantic love interest to protect Sam? Right after he kicked Cas out of the bunker to protect Sam?
*yeah sure these are totally irrelevant*
