question re: SPN 4.10

[kassidy62]

Some of my lovely flist has already tried discussing this on a prior post, but nobody seemed to come to a conclusion. So: the dream scene between Uriel and Dean. Brave, reckless Dean first calls Uriel's bluff to return him to hell, potentially sacrificing himself for everyone else. When the threat failed, Uriel pulls another nasty trick: you get a choice, save either Anna or Sam. So apparently Dean tells Uriel where to find Anna, right?

Then we found out that it was all part of Sam's plan to get angels and demons together and butt heads. I can see the part where Ruby talked with Alastair was part of a PLAN (and woe to Ruby, talk about collateral damage). But how could anyone have planned Uriel would infiltrate Dean's dream? I don't see it. Did I miss something? Or was the plan hatched AFTER the dream? Say Dean woke up and told Sam what happened (ha! as if, but whatever) and then Sam said, well, let's make sure the demons show up as well.

So either the dream scene wasn't part of the plan initially and Dean gave up Anna for real, OR the boys somehow knew and expected that Uriel would get to Dean. How so? They had Ruby's protection hex bags or whatever they were.  What did I miss? Enlighten me.

EDITED to fix brain farts. I really hate the idea of 'brain farts.' But whatever..

I don't know what you mean - the only dream was between Uriel and Dean, not Alaistair and Dean. You mean Uriel, right?

The angels had contacted Dean before, so I think the boys could have anticipated they would again. The angels were threatening to throw Dean into Hell unless the boys gave up Anna - obviously, the angels intended to contact either Dean or Sam so that Dean or Sam could give them the info - no point to a threat, otherwise. So all Dean and Sam had to do was wait.

yes, I meant Uriel. I should seriously stop posting to LJ - I have obvious brain spatter. I'm always putting the wrong word/name in lately, and I'm not sure why.

But what with the hex bags protecting Sam, Dean, Anna and Ruby's location, I couldn't see how they'd know the angels could contact them at all. Though yes, I see your point that it has precedent. It still sounds like an iffy plan to me, to rely on that. My husband said the same thing, though - that it was a matter of time.
