Why this must be read: Sam, Dean, and Cas are so used to fighting against the apocalypse that they're at a complete loss when faced with a world where their biggest concern is how they're going to get back to the motel after drinking themselves stupid. Naturally, Castiel insists on driving ... much to Dean's horror and to the surprise of a local officer who can't quite figure out how Castiel seems to be sober.
This story works so well because while it's funny, it also has an underlying core of emotion grounding it as Dean considers if Castiel will be sticking around now that the apocalypse has been averted. (Of course, someone has to keep Dean alive and out of trouble ...)
Somewhere along the way they fell into an unspoken, informal arrangement.
Back in the days before the apocalypse - before Castiel - Sam and Dean would discuss and argue about everything. Anything from self-sacrificial moves on a hunt right down to where they were going for dinner wound up turning into an epic, bickering dialogue that could sometimes last for hours before coming to any sort of conclusion.
Then Castiel came into the picture, and every discussion suddenly became much easier for Dean to come out on top in.
Step One: Dean affixes his very sincere 'don't you dare let me down now' look on Castiel, which Dean has practiced to perfection.
Step Two: Castiel looks back at Dean with the familiar 'I shall forever be perplexed by this mortal' expression, then voices his agreement.
Step Three: Sam seems to value Castiel's opinion, so Sam's shoulders slouch just a bit in a way that screams 'damn, I guess you're right' and he sways over to Dean's side.
Thus, with this new arrangement, Dean's word becomes law - with only one exception, which Dean has dubbed the 'Dead Dean Clause.' The Dead Dean Clause only comes into effect when Sam convinces Castiel - or Castiel convinces himself - that the course of action they're discussing would likely result in Dean being dead.
