Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Dispatcher, who is Bobby Singer's demon counterpart, is named Ellsworth. Ellsworth was also the name of Jim Beaver's (Bobby) character in the TV Series Deadwood (2004). A nice bit of symmetry.
- GoofsOnce again everyone seems to conveniently forget that Castiel did not need to go to the trouble of finding and burning Crowley's bones in order to kill him. While it is the only way for any normal human (who doesn't have an angel blade, the demon blade or the Colt) to kill a demon, angels can kill a demon using their blade, or by smiting them if they are a Cherub with access to the power of heaven or are a powerful Seraph like Castiel is. It did not make any sense for Castiel to need to burn Crowley's bones to kill him, he could have either stabbed him with his blade or smite him. The fact that he went to the trouble of putting on such an elaborate and unnecessary display should have made them suspicious from the start.

Amazing episode
I just found Supernatural, thanks to my granddaughter. We've spent the last week catching up on the first 6 seasons. I cried at this episode. Misha Collins' performance was simply amazing and heart breaking. I won't say anymore about the plot, but this episode does give some answers as to the actions in previous episodes. I loved it and highly recommend it. All of the actors in this show are truly amazing and the show has become my new favorite. I am constantly amazed at the imagination the writers show in coming up with new ways to tell the stories of the Winchester "boys" as they are called-and I find myself loving the chemistry between Jensen, Jared, Jim Beaver and Misha Collins. I think all of us wish we had someone who loved us as much as Dean loves Sam. Can't wait to see what we have in store in season 8.
