Ahhh, I see what you're saying! Sorry, I wasn't quite getting it before, because on the face of it, it looks like all of Sam's hopes from the beginning of the season came true -- Mary is indeed still alive, Cas came back, Jack isn't evil.But if he was hoping for more, if he thought everything would've worked out by now...
Someone else commented on this on Tumblr -- I think the backdoor pilot muddied this arc some. What you're describing -- at least if I'm following! -- is that Sam had pinned all his remaining hopes on Jack and Kaia's gambit to save Mary, and after that fell through, and then Kaia died, he doesn't have anything left to keep hoping with. I just didn't get that sense from Sam in 13x09-10, that he was riding so close to desperation. When Kaia refused them in 13x09, it was Dean who pulled the gun, while Sam was already trying to think of another way that didn't involve her.
If Sam & Dean had a conversation in Jurassic World, it could've set this up? There's definitely room for it. I just wish we could've actually seen it!
