I think Cas took the torture from within Sam's soul and put it on himself.
Oh wow... I love that idea. I struggle with thinking that Cas would suffer in the same way that Sam would have done, but maybe the weight of Sam's suffering is now weighing on Cas in a way that only an angel could feel.... Hmmmm.... I might just be able to see that in a different light.
I have mixed feelings about Cas' return and I think I will only truly know how I feel when I see how they are going to tell his story. I just don't know - still! Even after re-watching it....!!
I like your reasoning about why there was distance between the brothers. Sam was seeing all sorts of things. He might not even trusted that he was actually seeing Dean.... *sniff*
Hee...Here's to winning a million!
(thanks for your positive take on the ep. I've struggled with this one...)
