'Supernatural' fans are feeling all the emotions after Castiel (Misha Collins) and Dean's (Jensen Ackles) much-awaited heart-to-heart in the latest episode 'Trap'.  Our heroes have been having a hard time this season, especially after the team lost Rowena MacLeod (Ruth Connell) earlier at the graveyard. Before that, the Winchester brothers lost Mary (Samantha Smith), thanks to Jack.

Now Cass knew that something was off about Jack but didn't tell the brothers. Dean blamed Cass for not alerting them that there was a problem and when they lost the witch, Dean snapped. 

Cass, unable to take the hurt and blame, had walked away. He comes back later in the season, but there were a lot of things to be unwrapped between the two. They hadn't actually talked about how they felt and Dean hadn't really forgiven him for everything. To say their conversation was heartbreaking is an understatement.

"You didn’t give me a choice. You couldn’t forgive me, and you couldn’t move on. You were too angry. I left but you didn’t stop me," Castiel tells Dean. He's not generally the kind of angel who lets his feelings out easily but it looked like his heart couldn't contain it anymore. 

"The way dean literally looked terrified when he had lost cas and their time was running out to get back. he started getting emotional and scared almost immediately because he was afraid of losing him... that was HEARTBREAKING. he loves cas so so much, one fan tweeted, while another said, "I honestly don’t have words for how heartbreaking this scene is and just how phenomenal an actor Jensen is"

Dean and Cass have always had a complicated and intimate relationship, leading some fans to speculate that they are meant for each other. Although there's no confirmation from the show, their moments together in this episode has convinced them even further. "They're in love your honor," said a fan. Another tweeted, "Dean and Cas are heading into the final stretch of the show in love, gay and ready to defeat God." Now that it looks like Chuck aka God is in his full power, that's going to be harder. A third fan tweeted, "Dean has trouble saying I love you but what he said to Cas this ep was practically saying i love you in his own way, just like the 'we need you, I need you' scene."

Later in the episode, Cass goes missing and Dean prays to him and when he returns hugs him in the tightest, most emotional embrace. It's a very 'I already know' moment between the two men and a rare moment of vulnerability for Dean. "It's when he hit his knees that I really lost it. On his knees crying I'm sorry to Castiel? Explain to me how I'm supposed to recover?" tweeted an emotional fan.

Catch the next episode of Supernatural on Thursdays 8/7c on the CW.
