Robert Berens’ Twitter comments about writing and editing the Cas and Dean scene in 15.03:

• The scene between Cass and Dean changed a lot collaboratively from draft to draft, well into production. It was a lengthy process. But even in editing it shifted— in part because Jensen is able to say so much *without* words. Masterful. And heartbreaking. #Supernatural 9:00 PM - 24 Oct 2019
• As originally written, the scene was sadder— but less harsh. Then it got *really* harsh. I felt it was important that Dean admit he knows Mary’s death wasn’t Cass’s fault... there were conversations, it got softer again. But in editing the scene played strongest with fewer words. 3:12 PM - 25 Oct 2019
• What @Johnnyfitz006 was able to do— using Jensen’s performance to communicate nuances of anger and regret— was really masterful. My extra words were less impactful than just letting the staging and performance communicate the scene. There are some sublime cuts in that sequence. 3:15 PM - 25 Oct 2019

15.05 + 15.09 commentary by neven-ebrez:

• “Yellow pages from 15x05 surfaced today thanks to an awesome fan that got one of Misha’s scripts from his texts! This explains the lack of bookend to Sam reading his missed messages from Cas. The scene got cut for whatever reason. Looks like we just have to accept offscreen that Sam knows about the Destiel “domestic dispute”. [December 2019]
