It is totally cool that you want to eviscerate John – it means the story is getting to you and THAT rocks my world, so thank you! John will not, however, die horrifically or any other way – he’s got to survive to be a pain in Sam’s side and be the light of Dean’s eye for a good long time yet!

In the meantime, the summer from hell continues, and will continue – John is not nice, nor kind, nor very forgiving when it comes to mistakes. So, more bad things for Sam and Dean and no comeuppance for John, sorry. : D (PS, I love your observation about why Sam won’t accept John’s affection!)
