#i actually think that this is kind of a theme of the whole show#like when dean was in the hospital after the end of s1 #sam believed that john could find a way to fix things and that dean would be ok #when dean sold his soul for sam#sam believed that he could save dean from hell #when the seals started breaking#sam believed he could stop it #that kind of blind faith—that he could make things right in a way they never were for him—that he could make things right for his brother #sometimes they worked out #sometimes they didn’t #but when sam was the only one who really believed that he could save the world by saying yes to lucifer#by becoming the very thing that always terrified him the most #he overpowered the devil through his faith and love #and that is rooted right here in this s1 episode#and it’s beautiful #;akdjf;akdj i love sam winchester so fucking much
