* ResurrectionRevenge: Two other hunters kill Sam for inadvertently starting the Apocalype, then his brother Dean so he won't be gunning after them the rest of his life. He tells them point blank it won't work (because of their own vital role in the battle between heaven and hell, the Winchesters have a limitless resurrection voucher).
-->'''Dean:''' Go ahead, do it. But when I get back, and I will get back, ''I'm gonna be pissed''.

** Poor Dean, too. It doesn't quite show for an episode or two, but seeing that the majority of Sam's favorite memories are times when he was away from his family pushes Dean just enough that between that and God's uncaring knowledge, he's ready to say yes to Michael.

You're alone in your own personal heaven unless you have a soulmate (or you're [[MemeticBadass Ash]]). Dean is dissatisfied with this rather lonely arrangement, describing it as "Film/TheMatrix".

* FluffyCloudHeaven: Averted. Everyone literally gets their own slice of Heaven which will be [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith whatever they expect/most want it to be]], and filled with replays of their most treasured memories. It's very personalized, but also very singular. Once in your little bit of Heaven, you're stuck. You can't go and visit others (unless you're Ash), and only soulmates get to share.
