The scene then cuts directly from Cas driving in the rain to Dean driving in the rain. Dean’s phone rings, and the caller ID shows it’s Sam; I assume this isn’t the first time Sam’s called him, but it’s seemingly the first time Dean’s bothered answering. Only it’s not Sam on the phone; it’s Cole, who announces, “I’m karma, brother.” At first, the exchange seems “normal,” with Dean asking if Sam’s still alive and for proof of life. But then a truly awful moment occurs: Cole holds the phone up and tells Sam to speak. He doesn’t know that the two haven’t spoken in months, and Sam looks completely gutted as he stares at the phone. Instead of speaking, Sam steels his jaw until Cole punches him, eliciting a grunt that serves as proof. Sam yells Dean’s name once, as Cole walks away.
