> But if the nest doesn't follow a linear timeline, why did Bobby and Dean have to wait a while before they could see the other people? Doesn't that imply linear time?
Yes, but you're going to have to hand wave it because it didn't mean anything. It was just there for dramatic effect.
> How is this episode foreshadowing the rest of the season?
None of the above. It just reverses all the previous foreshadowing implying that Dean, or Sam, or Cas, or possibly all three will die because Jensen, Jared and Misha have all signed their contracts and agreed their paychecks for s12 now so there's no longer any reason to threaten them with being written out. Everybody lives.
Oh, and they're going to trap Amara with a celtic sigil, or once Amara's defeated they're going to trap Lucifer with a celtic sigil.
Oo! Even better: someone goes back into the cage with Lucifer and draws a celtic sigil while someone draws one outside. The cage turns out to be timeless so Sam's soul is still in there, but when the sigils are complete they kill Lucifer and boot Sam's soul back to the moment after he dropped into the cage in the first place, and the last 6 years (or 186 years in the case of Sam's soul) never happened!
This is, of course next season's finale because after Amara is defeated, Lucifer will become the big bad for season 12, (after some imaginative hocus pocus that returns him to Mark Pellegrino's meat suit, naturally). Once he's defeated, as per above, the season will end with Sam, Bobby, Jody and Rufus spending Sunday lunch at Dean, Lisa and Ben's place.
