Can someone double check this for me...pweease?

Just want to make sure I haven't missed any...

The times Sam voluntarily leaves Dean (as in he makes a conscious, un-supernaturally affected choice to take a break or do something by/for himself). And same for Dean...


Sam:

1. To go to college
2. Scarecrow - to look for John
3. Hunted - to find answers about himself/"special" children
4. Good God Y'All - to straighten himself out after the demon blood addiction
5. Swan Song - to save the world/redeem himself
6. Slash Fiction - when he finds out Dean killed Amy.

Dean:

1. Pilot - at Sam's request (not sure if that counts)
2. Time is on my side - to chase a lead when Sam wants to stay.
3. The End...Hmmm, not sure if this counts. He chooses not to get back together with Sam after Sam tells him he wants back in.
4. 99 Problems - leaves to say yes to Michael
5. Blood Brother...Hmm... only leaves to help Benny, not leaving for good, though does leave to do something for himself.


Missed any?

Yeah, if you narrow it down to choices where Sam or Dean didn't plan on ever going back, you'll have a very short list. LOL It would include Stanford, Sam jumping into the cage and Dean saying yes to Michael. It could also be argued that Dean making the deal for Sam's life in AHBL II was a choice that ultimately entailed leaving Sam forever, even if that wasn't foremost on Dean's mind at that moment.

As for When The Levee Breaks, Sam was high on power and he was angry, so surely his decision wasn't a rational one, but I would still maintain that it was a conscious choice on Sam's part. :)

Hmmm...so it'll probably be a mix between leaving forever (college, swan song and 99 problems) or leaving for a decent break (scarecrow, hunted...). I'm not sure where to put Levee Breaks yet... Sam definitely had his own agenda - but there were some outside manipulating forces at work (damn that phone call! AND Cas opening the door.!!)
