While we don’t know a lot about the reunion between Sam and Dean, we do know there will be a bit of initial tension. Dean will feel slightly resentful that Sam didn’t try to find him, according to Edlund. Dean will essentially ask “‘why didn’t you look [for me]? We had a tacit agreement that we always look [even if we said we wouldn’t]’.” Padalecki also said that Dean will question how Sam just cut himself out of a life of hunting. Wasn’t he paying attention to the strange things happening around the country? For his part, Sam will explain that he knew there were other hunters out there to take care of things and he chose to do this with his life instead.
This struggle will have them grappling with the question of how to live a normal life in a life of hunting. All they have done for most of their life is be at the mercy of this massive duty. In a way, Sam getting out of hunting was the right thing to do. Living a normal life made him realize (once again) what he was fighting for all this time. That will, ultimately, make him a better hunter, Edlund explained.
