I'm really glad you found some relief in the premiere, after being so stressed about it! *hugs*
Me, I found a lot of things to enjoy in the episode, but overall and taken as a whole, I found the writing...stale. So many of the ideas feeding into it felt repetitive and I am beyond tired of Sam's motivations being kept opaque for long stretches, making it impossible for us to understand where he's coming from and what he's thinking. Hints at some slow-to-unfold mystery to come just don't satisfy me any more and this show has done that trope to death already. And the flashbacks of how Sam met vet Amelia really bugged me - seriously, no veterinarian would insist on handing over an injured dog fresh out of surgery to the complete stranger who accidentally ran it over, especially after said stranger has clearly stated that they don't want a dog and are in no position to care for it!

I really like Dean's hair, though.
