bi!dean by episode

a guide to bi!dean in canon, sorted by episode and season!* // long post warning. [not ship oriented]

season one

1x01- pilot (watch)

this isn’t part of the pilot but it feels like the fact that dean was based on a bisexual character who was based on a bisexual man should be in this post somewhere

bi set design at the gas station

dean flirts with both jess and the male cops (on two different occasions) (meta)

1x04- phantom traveller (watch)

dean checks out every male mechanic in the airplane hangar, smiling and leering at all of them, without paying attention to the planes. (meta)

man on the plane winks at dean, dean is taken aback but waves anyway before carrying on with the EMF meter. the man apparently had a gaydar which dean was definitely on. (meta)

1x07- hook man (watch)

first guy they see is a guy bent over the hood of a car, eating a banana. the guy then notices dean and can’t stop staring at him.

dean checks out a half naked guy, while reading ‘Backside’ magazine. tells sam he missed a spot near the guy’s butt after looking at it

dean checks out a guy at the party and winks at him, and then a few moments later, turns around to check him out again, and then again when they’re leaving.

dean is disappointed he can’t hook up with someone that night; says it while staring at the same guy (meta #1, #2)

1x12- faith (watch)

dean gets given the heart of an openly gay teacher (meta)

1x15- the benders (watch)

dean winks at a bunch of men at a bar, before spending an hour in the men’s bathroom. coincidence?

the bar set includes a sign saying ‘men’s’ and another sign saying ‘thursday night meat’

dean fondles a man’s pelvis bone the next day

meta, more meta

season two

2x02- everybody loves a clown (watch)

dean sees ash on the pool table, turns around but looks back to check out his ass

ash tells dean he likes him, dean says thanks, dean and ash staring at each other until jo pulls their attention away, sam looks lowkey awkward

dean does his flirty face when ash winks at him

dean tells ash to call him, then does his pleased-with-himself smirk

dean drinks from a beer bottle with cupid’s bow and arrow on it, and then ash drinks from dean’s bottle

ash makes a queer movie reference (pink flamingos) then watches dean to see his reaction, to gauge dean’s interest level

dean/ash meta

2x05- simon said (watch)

sam calls for ash, but he doesn’t answer the door. the second dean calls for him, ash opens the door, naked

contrast between sam and dean’s reactions to seeing ash naked- sam is surprised, but quickly gets over it and goes about his business. dean, on the other hand gets a look at ash’s dick and screws his eyes shut. His reaction is overblown. he avoids looking at his in an extremely pronounced way. his reaction is not in proportion to what is happening in the scene. just before, he had dodged the eyes of Jo, his designated female love interest at the time, in the same way. he basically has the same reaction to Jo and to Ash, but Ash is way more naked. (roughly quoted from)

dean/jo and dean/ash parallels

dean/ash meta

dean tell’s sam ‘it’s like being roofied man, it doesn’t count’ which sounds like something a closeted guy would say, like ‘we were drunk man, it doesn’t count’ or ‘it was only blow jobs man, it doesn’t count’. this also suggests that dean has done things with other men while roofied or drunk. (while doing stuff with men under the influence of roofies doesn’t necessarily make you bisexual, the way in which dean says it suggests that ‘it didn’t count!’ is an excuse he’s used before)

2x11- playthings (watch)

hotel owner asumes dean and sam are queer; dean then brings it up afterwards, asking sam why everyone assumes they’re gay. (meta)

sam says ‘Well, you are kinda butch. Probably think you’re overcompensating’

dean’s reaction

2x17- heart (watch)

madison says ’you get a few scotches in him and he started hitting on anyone in a five-mile radius. you know the type.’ sam, after looking at dean, says he does know the type.(notice the gender neutral terms)

2x19- folsom prison blues (watch)

dean flirting with the cop taking his picture

dean wants to go to the prison to help deacon, and even though sam keeps saying they should leave, dean refuses. he seems to like deacon a lot and wants his respect.

dean and deacon were very hands on during the episode

2x21- all hell breaks loose part one (watch)

ash is wearing a new watch that he hasn’t worn in previous episodes, but dean is able to identify him by it later in the episode, suggesting that dean’s visited ash a few times off-screen

dean is paralleled to lily; who killed her girlfriend by touching her, and the scene cuts directly from dean’s touching of dead ash to her.

season three

3x01- the magnificent seven (watch)

doublemint twins; dean having a m/m/f threesome. (meta: #1, #2, #3)

a song with the lyrics ‘any love is good love’ plays while dean is in the motel with the twins

3x04- sin city (watch)

dean’s happy to see ritchie, but his face falls when he sees the woman in ritchie’s room

ritchie goes into sam and dean’s room, and dean immediately begins taking off his clothes like it’s something he’s used to doing in front of this guy. (which it probably is. dean saved ritchie from a succubus in the past, so they’re obviously intimately familiar.) he takes off his fed suit clothes and rolls up his sleeves, something we’ve never seen him do before this moment on the show (meta)

dean checks out the demon!priest guy when they’re done interviewing him

3x10- dream a little dream of me (watch)

dean asks if sam’s having a sexual dream about angelina jolie, or brad pitt. dean thinks that it’s normal and completely understandable to make ‘happy noises’ while dreaming of brad pitt.

season four

4x05- monster movie (watch)

dean says that if his life could be a movie, he’d pick porky’s 2. (meta)

4x06- yellow fever (watch)

dean gets drunk and flirts with a cop

sam has to pull him away (while coincidentally, a mural of wild horses is painted on the wall behind them)

4x08- wishful thinking (watch)

mentions duchovny, makes a thinking-about-sexy-stuff face, notices sam is looking and quickly schools his expression

4x14- sex and violence (watch)

dean’s siren is a man (meta)

dean x nick mirrored with sam and the woman doctor

dean ignores the strippers, his attention on nick

sam and dean both thought the siren infected victims through sex; and when sam finds out dean’s been infected, he immediately accepts that dean apparently had sex with the siren, no surprise or hesitance.

actor who played nick says ‘(nick) enjoyed having control over these boys in a sexual way. It’s a strange way to describe it. Considering the Siren initially appears as a female that seduced men, it was almost as if gender wasn’t a factor for it.’

season five

5x03- free to be you and me (watch)

says bert and ernie are gay right before telling cas he’s not going to let him die a virgin. how do these things correlate?

dean makes two references to queer characters- thelma and louise and bert and ernie

compares himself and cas to thelma and louise, who kiss at the end of the movie

5x04- the end (watch)

cas and the orgy girls are waiting for dean to get there before starting the orgy, suggesting it’s something dean takes part in and is a normal part of their lives at the camp. 2014!dean is obviously comfortable enough to let cas see him naked, at the very least, if he partakes in the orgies

dean canonically likes to wear woman’s underwear. while this doesn’t necessarily mean he’s bisexual, it does show that dean does project stuff like this (onto sam mostly, which we saw when dean asked sam if the bra was his) and it also shows that dean isn’t the macho man that he appears to be on the surface.

cas winks at dean, and dean does the thing with his mouth that he does when he sees something hot and desirable (see it here too) (meta)

5x06- i believe the children are our future (watch)

dean jerking off to the thought of a male nurse

5x07- the curious case of dean winchester (watch)

he looks at a naked guy’s crotch unnecessarily (they already knew it was the guy they were looking for because of the arm tattoo, credit card and driver’s license they’d already seen)

tells said guy that he looks great

5x08- changing channels (watch)

comes out of a closet into TV land

intensely watches dr sexy make out with someone on TV

gets visibly flustered when he sees dr sexy, similar to how a girl would react over seeing their male crush

thinks dr sexy is sexy (in cowboy boots) ‘what makes dr sexy sexy is he fact that he wears cowboy boots, not tennis shoes’

men/women sign behind his head suggesting bisexuality

dean says ‘part of what makes dr sexy sexy is-’ part. so… there’s more than one thing about dr sexy that dean finds sexy. this episode alone should be enough to prove his bisexuality tbh.

5x09- the real ghostbusters (watch)

dean is visibly happy and smiley while thinking of the queer sam and dean cosplayers once he’s by himself (meta)

5x14- my bloody valentine (watch)

dean checks out men/looks at men as though he’s hungry for them. (which he probably is, seeing as it’s the famine episode.) examples: cas, cupid (meta #1 #2)

bi flag colors when cupid hugs dean and cas

5x15- dead men don’t wear plaid (watch)

three episodes after this, dean tells cas ‘the last person who looked at me like that i got laid’. who’s the last person to look at dean ‘like that’? digger wells. carver wrote both of these episodes, so it’s not coincidental. (meta)

digger asks dean ‘who died and made you queen?’ not king.

season six

6x01- exile on main street (watch)

dean x sid; sid has been buying him beers for a year, dean bothered by the sight of sid with his wife, dean more interested in sid than hot waitresses (meta)

6x06- you can’t handle the truth (watch)

dean thinks two men having sex is sexy. (the non sexy kind of drilling, right?)

6x10- caged heat (watch)

dean mirroring cas’ body language as he kisses meg

season seven

7x12- time after time (watch)

dean fangirls over eliot ness

sam asks dean if he’s strictly into dick now

checks out a guy’s ass instead of girls (checks him out in the same way as he would a girl)

eliot then drags dean into the store away from the guys he was checking out, similarly to how sam did in yellow fever.

fan fiction gap! eliot tells dean he needs to get him more clothes (at night time, in the interrogation room) then dean leaves with eliot. next scene, it’s the day time and they’re at the tailors.

7x20- the girl with the dungeons and dragons tattoo (watch)

teaches charlie how to flirt with a man

dean/charlie parallels (ex. charlie being gay and loving female characters, similar to how dean loves dr sexy)

season eight

8x01- we need to talk about kevin (watch)

dean asks ‘spanky the demon. yeah, i heard about you. you’re the one who uses too much teeth, right?’

8x04- bitten (watch)

the people from the video think that sam and dean are queer, and also that dean says awesome too often. unlike in Playthings, dean doesn’t ask ‘why do these guys think we’re gay?’ instead, he asks sam if he says awesome a lot, to which sam replies ‘ no. no, no. no.’ (meta)

8x06- southern comfort (watch)

dean sarcastically says he was in purgatory, miami (a gay bar)

8x07- a little slice of kevin (watch)

the scene between dean and cas is inherently romantic.

cas knows where dean is- how? because angels can sense longing. otherwise, cas would have had no way of finding dean straight out of purgatory. (meta)

dean blatantly checks out cas when he comes out if the bathroom all clean.

the camera pans up cas’ body as it would in a romance movie, from dean’s pov. (meta)

8x12- time after time (watch)

grandaddy winchester comes out of the closet, mirrors dean

dean x closets subtext (meta)

sam says ‘when one of us falls out of your closet-’ and the camera pans staight to dean.

8x13- everybody hates hitler (watch)

uses the alias of a bisexual person (mark bolan)

flirts with aaron

flustered and cute at the fact aaron is interested in him

the only reason dean turna aaron down is because ‘it’s a federal thing’, not because he ‘doesn’t swing that way.’

visibly disappointed at lack of gay thing (meta)

meta on the way dean closes his FBI badge to talk to aaron

not in the episode, but in the director’s commentary, they talk about ‘the potential for love in all places’ in reference to dean/aaron

a guy dressed like cas walks behind dean during the dean/aaron bar scene

8x17- goodbye stranger (watch)

bi!flag set design after we were told to pay attention to the set. (meta)

scripted ‘I love you’

8x23- sacrifice (watch)

dean confirms he watches m/m/f porn

dean’s reaction when seeing that cupid brought two men together. meta

bisexual colors in the background

arrow symbolism (arrow coming from cas and pointing at dean, similar to how there was a man with a bow an arrow on the tv between the two men.)

season nine

9x06- heaven can’t wait (watch)

sam asks dean “you’re not even gonna see cas while you’re there? then what’s the point?” when he finds out that dean is going to drive 14 hours to idaho, suggesting that unless dean visits cas while he’s there, there’s no point going even though there’s a case there and people are dying

the music when dean watches cas through the window of the gas n’ sip is the same music from when sam was watching amelia through the window in 8x09

dean is visibly bothered by the fact cas is going on a date, but hides it from cas

fan fiction gaps! there’s actually two in this episode- even though only one is really talked about. there’s one before they get to nora’s, from when cas asks for a ride (in which it’s daytime) and when they get to nora’s (at night) and there’s another one after nora’s, in which they leave (at night) and get back to the gas n’ sip the next day. what did they do during those hours? we’ll never know.

dean says ‘you’re human, now’ and pointedly looks at cas’ lap. (meta)

their goodbye is decidedly not how you would say goodbye to a friend. if you were to take out that scene and place it into a gay romance movie, it would fit in perfectly.

dean tells cas to take off his vest and unbutton his shirt, then seems to check him out.

nora doesn’t look back at cas after their last scene together, like it seems she would. dean does.

9x12- sharp teeth (watch)

dean gets back to the bunker and sam asks what happened to his arm, to which answers ‘oh, it was a gft from cain.’ sam then asks ‘like…the wrestler?’ (like seriously, what does sam think does in his spare time? go out and roll around with wrestlers?) dean then answers ‘i wish, that would be awesome.’ long story short, dean wants to get pinned down and roughed up by a wrestler.

9x13- the purge (watch)

’best of both worlds, salty and sweet’

instead of telling sam about canyon valley dean shows him a video instead, which coincidentally involves a hot (occasionally topless) dude that is definitely dean’s type

acts awkward towards larry when they met, getting lost in his eyes and grinning a lot (meta)

guy tells dean to stop flirting with his trainer, assumes dean is into guys

dean says he relates to a girl saying it’s nice to have cushion when having sex with a guy.

meta on the whole ep

dean spanks harry’s ass for no apparent reason

season ten

10x02- reichenbach (watch)

goes to a gay bar

the bartender leaves dean alone at the bar, completely trusts him to be in there alone. they were obviously friendly with each other.

10x04- paper moon (watch)

guy tells dean to get on his knees, and dean replies ‘well i’m awfully flattered but..’ instead if his usual ‘i dont swing that way’ response. meta

10x05- fan fiction (watch)

the wall behind dean when he’s talking about destiel is pink and blue

responds to sam’s questioning the same way as he did with cassie in season one

dean comes across a man and woman in a closet. i wonder what that could possibly mean?

10x08- hibbing 911 (watch)

dean seduces the information out of the cute deputy

even more fanfiction gaps! in which dean was totally having sex with the cute deputy (meta)

10x11- there’s no place like home (watch)

dean x charlie parallels, why it means bisexual dean

dean says ’booze, burgers, and… more booze.’ he doesn’t say babes like it seems he was going to. (meta) (more meta)

10x12- about a boy (watch)

dean listens to taylor swift and doesn’t turn it off (meta) (more meta)

sam comes to dean with a case of missing naked people. as far as Dean knows, they’re all men. the one confirmed case sam shows him is a man, whose photo dean enlarges. he then says ‘bout time this gig got an R rating’ (meta)

10x13- halt & catch fire (watch)

dean is visibly worried that ‘nothing is ever deleted off of the internet’, even though it’s canon that sam knows that dean watches anime porn online and was on a dating site to look for women, i wondr what he’s possibly hiduing?

checks out a dude pretty blatantly

‘halt and catch fire’ is a tv show about a bisexual man

wears his bisexual colored shirt again

10x15- the things they carried (watch)

the episode was full of homoerotic subtext (even if it was with the character that no one likes)

10x16- paint it black (watch)

dean says there are things, feelings, he want to experience differently, or for the first time. (meta) (watch)

bisexual color lighting in the church

10x17- inside man (watch)

dean visits donnie at a bar he obviously goes to often and without sam.

donnie is sad that dean doesn’t sit at the bar and talk to him, hinting that it’s something that dean usually does. says ‘I guess I’m by myself, then’ when dean walks away. proving that dean usually sits at the bar with donnie rather than try to pick up chicks, as some would assume

dean getting lowkey flustered over the cute boy lifting weights

11x15- beyond the mat (watch)

andrew dabb tweeting that dean’s deam come true happens in this episode- aka meeting gunnar.

dean does the lip curl he does when he’s interested in something (as seen when looking at women, men and cake previously) when first walking into the room full of wrestlers

dean first sees gunnar when he’s turned away and bent over slightly, meaning dean only sees his backside. dean still gets excited about meeting gunnar before gunnar turns around- meaning he’d recognised gunnar just by his ass.

dean’s first conversation with gunnar is very closel paralleled to dean/mildred from the 11x11.

dean gets flustered when talking to hip, holds his hand for too long

awkwardly stumbles through his sentences when meeting gunnar

(full dean/gunnar intro scene, big flirt fest, gunnar is interested in dean back, dean is a cute lil blushy bisexual)

when dean goes to the bar to talk to gunnar, gunnar is sitting there with two drinks. he gives one to dean, and somehow knows dean’s name even though dean hadn’t told him before that. this either means that they’d met up again off screen and planned to go to the bar together (which soulds definitively date-y), or gunnar asked around for dean’s name and got him a drink hoping dean would show up.

dean checks out gunnar’s ass

dean is disappointed when he doesn’t get gunnar’s glove

the actor who played gunnar tweeted and favorited bi!dean tweets on twitter while he was live tweeting the ep

dean/gunnar HEAVILY paralleled with sam/rio.

literally, the only reason for the sam/rio was to make this parallel. (and to show that dean/gunnar is even more suggestive and non-platnoic than sam and rio)

dean’s reaction to gunnar winking at him is extremely bisexual (there were two different reactions, this one from the promo, and this from the ep)

anyway i could literally list everything dean and gunnar said and did but u rlly just gota watch the ep to experience the full bisexuality

episode meta

now if you compare this list of bi!dean moments with the list of straight!dean moments, you can definitely see that the proof for bisexual dean vastly outweighs the proof for straight!dean. which isn’t hard, as there isn’t any proof for straight dean; which i’m gonna prove for you real quick right here:

1. people like to use the fact that dean said he ‘didn’t swing that way’ to prove that he’s straight, when in fact, it’s null and void. no closeted queer person would come out to a random person, especially an enemy, which dean was speaking to each time he’s said something along those lines. when dean is approached in a non-platonic manner by non-enemies, he doesn’t say ‘he doesn’t swing that way.’ or deny his sexuality whatsoever. (for example, with aaron.)

2. people also like to argue that the fact dean has never kissed or had sex with a man on the show means he’s not bisexual, which isn’t true. a person of any sexuality can have never kissed or had sex with anyone, and it wouldn’t lessen their sexuality. (for example: charlie was still as much of a lesbian before she kissed gilda as she was after.) countless people accept canon heterosexuality without a kiss- so we should be able to do the same with other sexualities, too.

3. then of course there’s the interview that kripke did. this is not evidence against bi!dean! eric kripke, the show’s creator, has never called dean straight. he said that he thought the dynamic between sam and dean (who are brothers) is not unlike the dynamic between sebastian and miles from revolution (being the topic of the interview), who are two straight men. this quote by him is often used out of context by people trying to disprove bisexual dean by saying that the two straight men he’s talking about are sam and dean, when the people in question aren’t even on supernatural.

4. jensen saying that he doesn’t think there’s ‘anything more to dean and cas’ relationship’ doesn’t mean dean is straight, either. bi dean =/= destiel.

5. ‘’’but!!! you’re all just reading into it too much!! just because dean thinks a man is sexy or because the wall was a bisexual color or because he checked out a guys ass doesn’t mean anything!! it’s just interpretation!!!’’’ please read this. pleas e

but yeah, carry on saying dean is straight if that’s what floats your boat, and if you do happen to know any evidence for straight dean, i’d be happy to debunk it for you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*this only contains the more obvious moments, and there is more evidence in the show that isn’t on here, such as in the symbolism, body language, tone or set design of a few episodes, but they’re smaller and/or more open to interpretation than these, so they’re not on here. feel free to watch the show and try to find more!
