Adam does not belong in the cage. He doesn't even belong in hell. Adam Milligan had a place in heaven; he'd been there for almost a year!
Adam has no brother issues (that he's willing to admit to). As far as Adam had been concerned, he had no brothers. Sam and Dean's plight didn't concern him. And the battle between Lucifer and Michael definitely didn't concern him . . . or the rest of the world for that matter.
Except it did. Except Sam--his brother--pulled Adam down into the pit with him.
And then Sam gets back out.
Bobby and Dean think that Sam is broken, but it's impossible to break a Winchester. It might take a while, but all the critical pieces of Sam are there again. More importantly, Dean's there.
So Sam will be fine. He's already back to rushing in where angels fear to tread (literally), and all for the sake of his brother.
But Adam is not fine. Adam is not a Winchester, and he tries so hard to hang onto who and what he is, but it isn't enough. He shatters, because normal people are never enough on their own.
And no one ever comes back to help Adam.
"Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness;there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." -Matthew 22:13
