This is why I hated this episode because of the way Sam and Cas tried to brand Dean as being weak and a quitter.   

All season long Deans' been content with his life and happy to have less responsibilities so why all of a sudden would be eager to jump into a coffin with an arch angel.  

Spoiler

Then the very next episode Dean is back to being content with his life and not wanting to change anything.   So which is it show?

Cas and Sam are witness to that so them thinking that Dean is being self destructive shows how little they actually see Dean.  Or even really listen to what he says.

I thought Cas came across as a massive hypocrite considering he threw away his life for Jack and lied about it.

Sam once again demonstrated how self centered he is.  Its always about Sam and his feelings.  Did he even consider how this was effecting Dean.  Nope it was all just Dean hurting poor little Sam's feelings.  How selfish can he be?   Not to mention his reasoning was stupid.  "Dean don't attempt to save the world, because we're the guys that save the world."

I don;t see it as "word vomit" from Sam because its his goto whenever Dean wants to do something.  (The trials, saying yes to Michael, Purgatory, and any time he loses his filter).  At this point its comes across as that is how Sam really sees his brother.  It's why I just roll my eyes now whenever Sam says he looks up to Dean.  It's become more Sam's way to control Dean.  At this point he's no better than John who treats Dean as a blunt instrument. 

Dean knows how close Michael is to getting out and how hard it is to hold Michael back.  They would have no time to get Dean in the box.  

Why would death lie?  There is really no motivation for Billie to make it up just to bag a Winchester.  Because she wouldn't even actually get one as Michael could keep Dean alive indefinitely. 

Death usually looks at the bigger picture.   IMO that was exactly what she was doing here.  From the way I read the scene with Billie it wasn't just Dean's books that changed but the entire worlds.
