I like the your point about Ruby, as well - this entire season (as well as a lot of Season 4) is made of parallels. Sacrifices and rebellions, on both sides are leading us to a great ending. Cheers!

Good point, Andrew, you are correct.

I like the your point about Ruby, as well – this entire season (as well as a lot of Season 4) is made of parallels. Sacrifices and rebellions, on both sides are leading us to a great ending.

Cheers!

Dean is the one who motivates their rebellions against the Angelic host. In another parallel, consider that Ruby also seemed to turn on her own kind for Sam. In this case, it was Ruby who motivated (manipulated) Sam into rebellion against Dean, and her own rebellion was false.
