Summary
In a small town in Iowa, people are being killed inexplicably by their worst fears.
Still reeling from the fallout of Dean's possession by the Confederate ghost, Sam struggles to regain his footing when Dean insists on taking on the case on the heels of the confrontation. Unsure of where he stands with Dean now, Sam takes a risk that may turn him into the next victim. He discovers that the thing he fears most isn’t what either of them expected.

Summary
One of the petals is still in Sam’s hand. It’s soft and silky, and it looks tiny and innocuous in his palm. It’s probably fitting that someone as sick as Sam is, in his heart and in his mind and in all the ways he wants Dean, is being killed by something that sounds and looks as sweet as morning glory.
Also, it would be nice if the damn thing stuck to the mornings, but although the coughing is worse in the early mornings, the coughing is intermittent throughout the day. Sam covers his mouth when he coughs, hides the red petals in his hands, stuffing them into the pockets of his jeans, or letting them fall onto the ground if he can do so without being seen. He thinks of himself like Hansel, leaving petals instead of breadcrumbs, except, unlike Hansel he’s forever lost.

Summary
Sam finishes the trials, expecting to die. Instead, he gets a life that sounds idyllic - the demons locked away, the angels gone (mostly), and Dean by his side.
All he has to worry about is the various monsters attempting to fill the power vacuum; a too-empty bunker; his own deteriorating mental health; Dean’s dive back into alcoholism; and not getting enough sleep (even for him). Oh yeah, and that pesky fact that his dreams are starting to seem a little bit too much like visions. He can handle it. He can.
(Sometimes he can’t.)
If this is healing, Sam sure doesn’t want to know what deterioration looks like.
