"We didn't even know about it until close to the end." Which is embarrassing to admit. They'd always trusted Castiel, hadn't had a reason to believe otherwise. "Cas...he was trying to follow my last wishes, trying to keep Dean out of hunting, letting him lead a normal life. Which was why he didn't go to Dean when he was having trouble to start with. Heck, he even tried to pull me out of the Cage. Didn't work, but he tried and I can't imagine it was easy at all."
Sam leans against Gabriel, trying his best not to let his memories turn back to that point. "I'm pretty sure the original idea wasn't his. Pretty sure that one came from Crowley. He was having trouble keeping a handle on Hell, too, trying to keep those who wanted Lucifer back in charge at bay. But...I think we at least talked Cas into not trusting Crowley, because he tried to take all the souls of Purgatory himself and...it ended badly."
It ended in the deaths of a lot of people. "He realized he couldn't hold them all and tried to send the souls back to Purgatory, but the Leviathans were too strong. They held on, then tried to drown Cas in a reservoir and got into the water."
