4x01, “Lazarus Rising” — Castiel expresses moderate regret for having burnt out Pamela Barnes’ eyes. “I warned her not to spy on my true form,” he tells Dean.
8x21, “The Great Escapist” — Castiel sees Kara, the Biggerson’s waitress who served him coffee earlier, having suffered the same injury. “No,” he whispers in horror. He reaches out to heal her but is stopped short by an angel blade at his throat.
