Dean sits up on day 2. He finally looks more alert.

Focused eyes find Sam and Sam feels the first prickling of relief that the poison's run its course.

Sam sags. Then nudges his brother and watches him topple back into the pillows.

Day 3 and Dean's blaming porcupines.

Sam sighs and grins. "Welcome back."
