You really think it's going to end horrible in torment? I don't think they're going to go quite that dark. That whole no Heaven for you thing doesn't seem to fit. Dean went to Hell at then end of season 3, No Rest for the Wicked, In the Dark SIde of the Moon, season 5 we find out Dean, who had been to Hell, had been to Heaven a LOT, and was there again after having been in Hell. If it's true that hell visits make them ineligible for heaven, it's a big change. Or Chuck lied, he's a writer, it's kind of his thing.

I think Dean will forgive Castiel, maybe not right away or easily. Castiel going wasn't just about Dean being mad, Castiel was mad too, Their spell to save Jack took his soul and doomed him, Dean wanted to kill him as a baby, Then they tricked him into the box, and Jack went balistic. Dean and Castiel  were blaming each other. Castiel agreed to give up his life, for Jack, to the Shadow (which Dean doesn't know) and now even that is futile.

Want the dark ending? How about a happy ending, even Castiel is happy, then POW the Shadow claims him. Some of both, happy and sad.
