You know how 20 looks like the hollowed out shell of what it was supposed to have been? You know how you can still see some of the spaces where the actual heart of the finale was meant to fit? 

I’ve seen posts about the funko pops going around, I’ve seen conversation about Dean’s driving montage, and Dean’s reaction to Bobby mentioning Cas. But what about the huge hanging thread of Dean’s final step towards actualization? What about Dean finally being able to mirror Cas’s confession and say what he wasn’t allowed to say in 15.09 and 15.18? Well, look at Dean’s speech to Sam. Does anything look off to you? 

Here, let me help (and thank you @write-nerdy-to-me for the Gas n’ Sip idea & polol for the enabling and feedback):

“So…there’s a few things that I need you to hear. Come here. I’m so proud of you, Cas. You know that? I’ve always looked up to you. When we were fighting Billie you were so damn brave. You never… You never took any of Chuck’s crap. I never knew how you did that. And you’re more caring than me. You always have been. 

Hey, did I ever tell you… did I ever tell you that day that, uh…that I came for you when you were at the Gas n’ Sip? You know, after I told you to leave the bunker? I must have stood outside the store for hours… because I didn’t… I didn’t know what… what you would say. I thought you’d tell me to… to get lost or get dead. And I don’t know what I would’ve done… if I didn’t have you. ‘Cause I was so scared. I was scared, ‘cause when it all came down to it, it was always you. It’s always been you. I love you so much.”
