Supernatural: 10 Heartbreaking Separations

Either through temporary goodbyes or, more often than not, through deaths, Supernatural pulled at the heartstrings by separating characters.

For fifteen years, fans grew more and more attached to the characters of Supernatural and the relationships between them. Time and time again, though, the show ripped at the heartstrings of fans by separating characters, either through temporary goodbyes or, more often than not, through deaths that affected audiences and characters alike.

Of course, death is rarely the end in Supernatural. But, for certain deaths and goodbyes, they were massively affecting, taking two characters away from each other for good and leaving fans in tears in the process.

Dean Sends Benny Back To Purgatory

Despite the duo arguably not spending enough screentime together, fans grew pretty attached to the Benny/Dean dynamic of season 8. They were sad both when Dean decided to cut contact with Benny and when he sent him back to Purgatory.

Dean did not kill Benny as an evil act, or because Benny acted monstrously, instead it was so Benny could rescue Sam from Purgatory, indicative of how truly good Benny was. The fact Benny never returned from the place where monsters go when they die makes it all the more painful when the two hug goodbye.

Rowena Sacrifices Herself

In terms of anti-heroes and redemption, Rowena MacLeod had one of the best arcs in Supernatural, and while she did return as the Queen of Hell not long after, the final death of the fiery Scottish witch hit hard.

Not only did it affect her fans, but the Winchesters too, particularly Sam. Bonded through their fear of Lucifer and Sam’s natural inclination for studying and understanding magic on a basic level, the two formed a great relationship. Rowena became yet another loved one of the Winchesters that they lost.

Dean Has Lisa & Ben’s Memory’s Erased

Fans are still divided on the relationship between Dean and Lisa, a romance that was doomed from day one, really. Some believe the two were a great couple and Dean deserved the happiness and comfort of their life, while others believe they simply were not all that.

Either way, it is genuinely heartbreaking when Dean decides to have Cas erase him from their memories. When he tells Sam he will punch him should he mention them again, fans felt nothing but sympathy for him – and for Sam, who knew how Dean felt. The fact that Dean never found love again after this, except for Cas, or anything close to an apple pie life makes the separation all the sadder.

Mary Left The Bunker

Supernatural fans who like Mary Winchester are few and far between. One of the moments that make fans hate her the most is when, after not very long back from the dead, she decides she needs time away from Sam and Dean.

Now, from a fan perspective, this is pretty infuriating. However, in terms of sympathizing with Sam and Dean, who takes it especially hard, this is a truly heartbreaking moment. Dean is so hurt. He just got his mom back, something he had dreamed of for decades. Now, she needs away from him, saying she does not really know him like how he knows her. It is difficult not to feel great sadness for the boys in this scene.

John Dies (& When He Went Back To His Own Time)

John Winchester’s death in the premiere of season 2 took so many fans by surprise, and seeing how Sam and Dean had to deal with that was definitely tough. After his cameo in “All Hell Breaks Loose,” fans never expected to see him again.

Twelve years later, though, Supernatural’s 300th episode came around, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprised his role as the Winchester patriarch. Through this episode, the family got so much closure. However, with that came another heartbreaking separation as the boys had to give up their father.

Charlie Is Brutally Killed & Found By The Boys

The relationship Charlie has with the boys, particularly Dean, who is like an older brother to her, is one of the show’s best, and it is no wonder fans got annoyed when they killed her off in such a brutal yet unsatisfying way.

How Charlie got taken away from Dean and the world is made even worse by the fact that the boys met apocalypse world Charlie who was nothing like their Charlie, much to their sadness. She is one of many characters that left the show too early.

Ellen & Jo Sacrifice Themselves

The deaths of Ellen and Jo are two of the most shocking and saddest deaths in all fifteen seasons of Supernatural, and their death was not only a separation between them and the Winchesters but also Bobby, who loved the pair also.

In their sacrifice is a smaller separation, as Jo dies side by side with her mother, who was alive, but who chose to give her life, both to help Sam and Dean and to stay with her daughter. Apart from the three Winchesters, their sacrifices were the first truly affecting deaths for prominent characters and one of the toughest goodbyes for characters and audiences alike.

Sam & Dean Say Goodbye To Bobby

Season 7 of Supernatural is widely regarded by the fandom as one of the weaker seasons, and one of its most unpopular aspects is the death of Bobby Singer, whom many believe could have lived on much longer. That does not mean it is not gut-wrenchingly sad, though.

Before the final three episodes of season 15, the goodbye between Bobby and the boys, when Bobby manages his last word of “Idjits” out, was the show’s saddest. Bobby returned in multiple ways, but it does not take too much away from his death that left both audiences and Sam and Dean in pieces. They got separated from a character many consider their true father figure.

Cas Gives His Final Goodbye To Dean

“Despair” truly lived up to its title, easily becoming one of the most heartbreaking Supernatural episodes ever. This is in large part to Castiel’s final appearance in the show when he confesses his love to Dean and says goodbye as he gives up his life to save Dean’s.

This sequence has and will continue to be debated for years to come as the fandom disagrees on the existence of Destiel. No matter what side of the fence a fan falls on in that regard, though, everyone can appreciate that these two characters had a deep connection and care for one another rivaled only by Sam and Dean’s relationship.

Sam Lets Dean Go For The Last Time

For all the divisiveness and anger surrounding the finale of Supernatural, nobody can deny the level of emotion in the final goodbye between Sam and Dean, as Dean dies once and for all.

This is the ultimate separation in the show. Sam had to go on and live the rest of his life, raising a family, crafting an apple pie existence, all without his brother whom he was so attached to, whom he endlessly adored and admired. Every line that gets spoken between the two before Dean lets go breaks the hearts of fans just a little bit more, and it gets no easier upon rewatch.
