And I get that his shame is keeping him from admitting all this to Sam. That combination of “attraction” and the reality of not being in control, especially when combined with a kiss, is definitely unsettling. It goes against everything Dean Winchester stands for, against how he defines himself – his very identity as a hunter of monsters. I guess that’s how Dean feels too, along with a whopping dose of shame for feeling anything even close to attraction for the being that’s out to destroy everything. I don’t like the thought of it being “pining” or “attraction” at all. It seems more like Dean falls into a trance when he’s with her – strong enough to make him ignore Sam’s phone call, or draw him into a kiss, but not strong enough that he didn’t make an attempt at stabbing her with the angel blade. But bliss? That doesn’t seem like the right word for anything we’ve seen between them. He’s alluded to it being quiet, which I guess for Dean means no self recrimination or guilt or overwhelming sense of responsibility or whatever, so that would be nice I suppose. The odd thing is, we’ve never really seen any indication that Dean feels blissful when he’s with her. I still don’t know what that means or what it has to do with the Mark, but the part that really throws me right now is when Amara tells Dean that what he can have with her is “just bliss” and asks “why wouldn’t you want that?” This week’s ‘Then’ montage included both grown up Amara and teenage Amara insisting that Dean couldn’t resist her and that they’re bound. At the very least, Jensen corroborated that confusion is what Dean is feeling at this point too.

To some extent, I guess that confusion is deliberate. I remain confused about The Darkness and Dean – hence my question to Jensen Ackles at Jaxcon, and probably my next question to him too. There were things about the episode, and about where we are now in the myth-arc, that are still confusing to me. Instead, it was a slow build, culminating in an ending scene that left me grabbing for the tissues and grinning like a fool simultaneously. This week’s Supernatural episode, Into The Mystic (I love when Show remembers its roots and uses song titles) was one of those episodes that didn’t grab me at the very beginning and not let me catch a breath the entire time.
