Dean attempts to justify his tricking Sam into being possessed by Gadreel.

Dean: I tricked you into saying yes. It seemed like the only way.
Sam: So... Again. You thought I couldn't handle something, so you took over!
Dean: No, I did what I had to do! You would've never agreed to it, and you would've died.
