I don’t get them going their seperate ways. Dean said he couldn’t hunt while worrying about Sam…and he’s supposed to worry **less** when Sam isn’t in sight?! No way.

Agreed. It’s not like Sammy can screw the pooch any worse than bringing on the Apocalypse.

> Ah, I remembered that Sam had originally intended it for John, but not that he originally got it from Bobby. Of course, no way in hell would Bobby have put something he thought could DETECT THE PRESENCE OF GOD in the hands of a seven year old. Or, for that matter, John Winchester. And one would think that Bobby would display some reaction to finding that he had once unwittingly been in possession of an amulet with the power to DETECT THE PRESENCE OF GOD, even if he is slightly distracted by the whole “never walk again” thing.

When in the Christmas episode did it say Sam got the amulet from Bobby?

It’s in one of the flashback sequences. Do you really want the exact timeframe? Because I’ll give it. I have that episode on my iTunes, but I’m in class right now and can’t browse through through it to find the precise moment.

The best thing I learned from that link? The amulet is from Sacramento. For some reason, this strikes me as hilarious.
