Season 4, Episode 5

Sweater Song
Summary:

Sam hallucinates that he is dying, when Annie is already dead. Sam goes crazy and convinces himself that he is back at The Bunker with Annie, Dean, and Castiel. He has conversations with himself next to her on the floor unknowingly, and eventually dies.

Sam is lying on the floor next to Annie, who has not been moving for hours. He is looking up at the ceiling. This episode is in Sam's point of view. He stares at a hole in the ceiling for a few moments before Dean comes into frame. Dean helps Sam up, and Annie is coughing. They go back to the bunker, and meet Castiel there. Sam, amazed, asks Dean how he had found them, to which Dean replies that Castiel had told him where to find the duo. At the bunker, Sam, and Annie are enjoying a hot cup of coffee. Everything is alright, and everybody is okay. Sam is seen with a white blanket over his shoulders on the couch inside of his bedroom. Next to him lies his wife, Annie. She is sleeping, and is very peaceful. They are listening to Sweater Song by Weezer. There are lots of scenes during the song. Lots of memories flash in Sam's point of view, before everything goes black, leading the viewer to believe that Sam has finally passed on. It is no longer Sam's point of view as the camera goes back to the house that is snowed in. It zooms out slowly as Sweater Song is heard playing softly in the distance. Sam is not showing any signs of movement, or life. There is a shoveling noise heard as the song fades out. A hole is seen forming in the snow outside the hole where the broken window used to be at the front of the house. Light shines through, and a hand is seen shoveling the rest of it away. There is a person peeking through. They are wearing a black beanie and black coat. They are also wearing jeans. They crawl through the opening in the window, and immediately notice Sam and Annie lying on the floor in the room next to them. It is Dean. Dean runs into the room, and picks Sam up first, taking him out of the house. Castiel comes in to frame, and gasps at what he sees. He picks Annie up, and takes her out of the house. They are now outside of the house, and are walking to the impala. Sam's flesh is still warm, according to Dean, and he estimates that he should make it to the nearest hospital (which is 20 minutes away) if they speed. Castiel gets into the passenger side of Baby, and Dean starts the car. They speed to the hospital as Castiel is very worried. They rush them into the emergency room, and only one of the two make it, which is estimated by both of the doctors. They are both dead, and have been dead, but only one is saved. Dean and Castiel sit holding back tears in the waiting room, when Annie's doctor walks out. Castiel shoots up and runs over to him to talk, as Dean sits there with his hands covering his face. He takes his hand away from his face, knowing what is about to be heard. Castiel puts his hand over his mouth. It is estimated that both of them are gone, and that the hospital is only equipped to save one. The doctor states that Annie has been dead for longer, but is still in the process of dying, unlike Sam, who died shortly. Dean cries, and Castiel is detached from the situation, not knowing how to react. The doctor states that if they save Annie, she will show signs of minor brain damage. Dean tells Castiel that he has to bring his baby brother back. Castiel sighs, and explains to Dean that the reasoning behind him not being able to find the duo in time was due to the fact that he is weak because of the previous fight he had had with Crowley prior to noticing that the duo was gone.
