I just wished the whole Sam being the heir to Hell — the Boy King — continued to translate into the later seasons. Sam didn’t necessarily revoke his title, he just didn’t accept it as Hell hoped for. The point is, it would have been lovely to see those dynamics between demons and Sam. In which they don’t quite hurt Sam and they avoid getting in Sam’s path. Maybe with Crowley being a crap king would other demons seek Sam out, begging him to take the throne. Or as Dean is stalking through the hallways of the bunker, axe in hand, Sam pleads for Dean to stand down. Pleads and pleads and pleads and Dean finds himself stopping. Just blinking in confusion and forced to keep put.
