Perfect! Spot on with everything I've been thinking and feeling about this episode and this season.

Thank you for your thoughts on Castiel, also. I've been feeling the same way--that he needs to start taking responsibility for himself and his actions. He has a tremendous amount to atone for, and I hope that we can see him grow as a person (angel?) the way that Sam and Dean have.

Thanks for the awesome review, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on episodes to come :)
