Sam & Castiel // Like a Virgin (6x12)
image description: scene comparisons from “Swan Song,” “The Third Man,” “Family Matters,” “Caged Heat,” “Like a Virgin,” and “The Man Who Would Be King”
5x22: Sam approaches Castiel in an alley, attempting to shake his hand before he and Dean go to Lucifer. He says, “Take care of these guys, okay?” Castiel tilts his head and tells him apologetically, “That's not possible.” Sam closes his eyes and lets his hand fall away, laughing a little.
6x12: (1) Sam steps away from hugging Bobby, confused, saying, “Wait, I saw you– I felt Lucifer snap your neck.” Bobby starts to respond, “Well, Cas kind of–” but Sam cuts him off asking, “Cas is alive?” Dean tells him, “Yeah, Cas– Cas is fine, Sam, are you okay?” Sam whips his head around to look at him, grinning in relief.
6x12: (2) Sam and Dean sit at Bobby's kitchen table with beers and a sandwich for Sam, Bobby stands at the counter, arms folded. Sam looks down saying, “What? I was downstairs for– I don't remember anything.” Dean processes this, then Sam asks, “So how'd I get back? Was it Cas?” he looks from Dean to Bobby. Dean looks away, scoffing a little, responding, “Not exactly.”
6x12: (3) Still in the kitchen, Sam looks up at Bobby confused, as he and Dean stare each other down, both looking harsh. Sam quietly, “Is there anything else I should know?” Dean pauses a bit, then he shakes his head and says, No.” grabbing his beer.
6x12: (4) Sam sits at a small table in a motel room, he prays hesitantly, “Castiel, um. I'm back. So, if you got a minute...” He looks around, not optimistic. He quickly sits up straighter as he sees Castiel has appeared in front of him. Sam slowly stands up, rapt, as Castiel says, “Sam. It's so good to see you alive.”
6x20: Soulless Sam turns away from watching Dean at Lisa's house, he walks right past Castiel who watches him, unseen. Castiel turns his head to watch him leave, brow furrowed and looking confused. Castiel's retrospective voice-over says, “Sometimes we're lucky enough to be given a warning. This should've been mine.”
6x03: Soulless Sam is seated, turned toward Castiel who has appeared in their hotel room. He says, “‘Hello’?” in an exasperated tone. Castiel tilts his head slightly and hesitates before nodding and saying, “Yes.” Sam turns to Dean, sitting father away on his bed, shocked. Dean shrugs a little, and Sam mimics Castiel's voice saying, “‘Hello.’” and turns back to Castiel again, indignantly repeating, “Hello?!”
6x07: Dean speaks to Castiel across the room from Sam, who watches them. His face is bloody and Dean has him tied to a chair. Dean asks Castiel, “So, is he even still Sam?” Sam watches quietly, and Castiel turns back to look at him thoughtfully, saying, “Well, you pose an interesting philosophical question.” Sam tilts his head up a bit, blinking.
6x10: Sam and Castiel stand outside on the road at night. Castiel looks up at him shaking his head slightly. He dismissively says, “You need help, Sam.” Sam counters, “I need your help.” Castiel tilts his head and squints a little.
6x12: (5) (continuation of the scene in the motel room) Sam gives Castiel a small smile, nodding, and responds saying, “Yeah. You too.” Castiel slowly approaches to hug him, but as he comes close Sam quickly sits down to avoid him, looking away. Castiel freezes a little with his arms still slightly raised, faltering. Sam doesn't look up at him, but says, “Look, I– I would hug you, but–” Castiel interrupts him by finishing, “That would be awkward.” Sam shifts uncomfortably, and Castiel turns away, embarrassed.

it’s been a hot minute since i’ve gone on a deep dive about station 19 (partially my faul because i’m busy losing my marbles on twitter, what can i say) anyways, i wanted to go in depth about the episodes because it’s nice to do what i started doing and two it allows me to rewatch the episode and catch details that i normally wouldn’t when i’m watching it live. after all that being said, buckle up folks it’s 6x07 time! as usual spoilers ahead:
picking up right where we left off, the incident at meredith’s which of course was the scene where 19 was called at and of course what mortified all of us for more than 100 days, maya’s fall and her injuries once someone found her + also interesting to notice that beckett allowed andy to handle the scene, does that mean he was unable to call the shots or he’s playing safe here? + jack finding maya made sense since he was there but i’m curious, he noticed her turnouts on the floor and didn’t wonder where she was? like if she was on desk duty her turnouts wouldn’t be there in the first place idk
something that lots of people pointed out is that jack just carried maya without any support on her neck and back and i agree with them, he didn’t know the extent of her injuries or how long she was down, i’m wondering why he didn’t call 911 first and just waited for them to help but i guess that was made for the drama (?) + i’m wondering how the whole mayor storyline will unfold, like is montgomery gonna quit being a firefighter or what? unless dixon gets arrested or something for a scandal i don’t know where this is headed
i just wished ross character wasn’t involved romantically with sullivan that would be great + oh travis you messed up big time + this story was wild af, to think that these things happen all the time and they turn way worse than this is disgusting + the way maya pushed herself to that limit hurts my soul, to know that she will get the help she needs down the road gives me a little comfort but right now it hurts + i have to say the cuffs threw me off so badly😂
“where’s carina?” oh no poor maya this is just the beginning of a rollercoaster + “you look guilty” lmao busted + this is so random for sure + poor kid :( + the second carina saw jack she knew something was wrong, the tremble in her voice gave it away + i have to say danielle’s performance is so incredible, you can notice how broken maya looks by just staring at her eyes + and of course she doesn’t realize how bad she is… trauma and abuse is a hell of a thing
hughes, herrera and ross were the mvp of this episode totally + i was so tense the entire scene geez + this scene is so important when jack tells carina about maya, at first i was like ugh not again jack being in the middle of maya and carina but rewatching it i noticed how this seems to be the moment where carina chooses to help maya whether she wants it or not.
these women are incredible and i wished they would fight sexism and the abuse within the force because i know they can
not adrdessing the ladies too much because the two storylines happening are literally the only thing i was able to think for this entire episode
the way maya doesn’t even begin to see how hurt she is and how badly she needs to allow others to help hurts me, the worst part is that so many people can relate to this, growing up under abusive parenting can result into this and even worse things, i just wanna hug maya so badly
i also want to hug carina so badly, i don’t think she knows the extent of maya’s trauma maybe just bits and pieces but not the whole story which makes me wonder if the show will ever let them figure this out and have a conversation about it + i hate how they all worried after maya literally was vanishing in front of them like ugh + i’m surprised how no one has actually caught beckett day drinking, this man has been slipping since he got to station 19 + carina leaving really broke me :(
that was such an emotional episode like wow i ended up having to lay down for a minute or two because my head was spinning. i watched this live, i read lots of opinions about maya and carina and i just have to say there’s no good or bad in this story, maya has endured abuse her entire life and as result she pushes herself to the point of hurting, physically and mentally of course; carina also has endured abuse but the way she was affected by this is clearly different from maya’s, she isn’t a bad person by taking some space and time to understand the next steps, she has to take care of herself and in order to do that she needed maya to understand she needs help too. it’s so easy to point fingers and say “oh maya is horrible for saying those things” or “carina is awful because she left”. maya is hurt and obviously what she said wasn’t nice by any means but i remember reading somewhere that hurt people hurts people, and again carina has spend basically her entire life taking care of others, she needs the space to heal and allow maya to heal too.
station 19 came back stronger than ever and after this episode and 6x08 (which i watched live but i’m gonna rewatch because the streaming was wacky) it makes me feel that we’re getting something far better than we got in season 5 and for that i’m grateful. it may or may not be the writer’s intention but they created the most layered and best character in the entire show and her name is maya bishop. catch ya in the next one!
