When asked about whether Sam Winchester would change any decisions if given another chance five years since the end of Supernatural, Jensen Ackles replied with a hint of uncertainty. “I believe,” he said, “that Sam wouldn’t have pursued a romantic relationship, especially not one with someone like Amelia Richardson, after his brother… over a dog.” During season 7, Sam had been in a relationship with Liane Balaban’s character, Amelia Richardson, while Dean was stuck in Purgatory following the defeat of the Leviathans. Amelia was a veterinarian from Kermit, Texas, whom Sam met after hitting a dog and taking it to her clinic. Their romance came to an end when Amelia’s husband, Don, returned from Afghanistan.
