11x07 “Plush”
“No, Dean, I’m joking. Because clowns are really funny to me.”

I just really adored this shot. Composition wise it was beautiful, lighting wise it was gorgeous. Most of all though I love the possible implications. In a hospital of all places Sam’s story took of this season when praying to an all but absent God and running into Billie, who may be considered the counterpart to what Tessa was for Dean. And there Sam stands in a hallway bathed in fluroscent light, standing out against it with his dark clothing. And he’s not looking down the empty pathway this shot captures. Does not face the lights that pave a distinct way, angles away from the laundry trolley that reminds so very much of a cage with all the bars. In an episode that dealt so heavily with emotional baggage and scars of the past and Sam in the end of the episode wondering out loud, if maybe he needs to go back to the cage, this shot here in my opinion captures perfectly what the emotional baggage and scars of Sam’s past are.
