Crowley tries to sing pointed breakup songs on karaoke, that’s an inevitability. but before Sam can pull the plug, Cas stops him, looking calm as ever. “let him sing, I want to watch.” and so Crowley does, giving You Oughta Know the kind of transparent performance that leads everyone to making this face 😬 behind their champagne. Dean is coughing into his fist and caught between looking at Crowley, heaving his entire body with each YOU YOU YOU and then back to Cas, still watching entirely impassive. in fact, the expression sort of reminds him of factory settings Cas and it’s freaking him out.

once Crowley finishes its dead silent, save for a few coughs here and there. should Dean say something? is he supposed to be the person to say something? he really doesn’t want to be the person to have to say something. but before he can send Sam a wide eyed look that reads “SOS” as clear as if he wrote it on his forehead, Cas, just as calmly, crooks Dean’s chin in his direction, places his hand on the back of his neck, and pulls him into an open mouthed kiss. Dean, of course, decides “fuck it” to everything else and reciprocates eagerly, and in all honesty forgets about everything else when Cas slips him tongue in five seconds max. the kiss goes on for far too long, honestly, an agonizingly long 15 seconds while everyone else casts their gazes to the side or to the ceiling (but God can’t help because they beat him). Sam covers Jack’s eyes. Claire left for the bathroom with Kaia the second Crowley got on stage and Jody is grateful. Kevin makes a pointed gagging sound. when Cas pulls back Dean’s eyes are closed and he chases after his lips, before blinking his eyes open in a daze. and Cas turns, and offers Crowley perhaps the smuggest look known to all creation.

Sam doesn’t have to pull the plug on the karaoke machine after all, because after that Crowley alternates his time between sobbing into Rowena’s sleeve while she looks long suffering, and trying to hook up with Benny in increasingly transparent and desperate attempts which Benny shuts down every time, almost looking sorry for him near the end there. he ends up hooking up with Meg, because Meg is the not really “ex” (honestly they never hooked up and she didn’t even have feelings for Cas like That so they’re cool) here who’s acting normal about it and he knows how to have a good time. Meg makes direct eye contact with Crowley as she and Benny leave the room. Kevin can be found laughing in the corner in complete delight as these events of the evening progress. Dean’s honestly too wrapped up in Cas to even notice past the karaoke incident. Rowena suggests that Fergus sign up for one of those dating sites before going to have a “wee chat with dear Samuel and his lovely date.”
