Two episodes away from the season's finale, the climax of the story and the tension is rising up to the ceiling. Big daddy Winchester is back and he needs he boys' help retrieving a gun; that can kill any supernatural thing including THE daemon, from a vampires nest.
John came back expecting the boys to blindly follow his orders without having to explain himself to them. But the boys have been on their own for a long time and Sam is even more unwilling to take orders especially after what he and Dean have been through, while Dean is still confused between what he used to do following daddy's orders and doing his own moves as he did for like a year with Sam. As the tension between Sam and John escalates, Dean finds himself trapped again in the same dilemma. He doesn't know which side to take because he doesn't like either attitude. John is clearly dealing with Sam in the wrong way, pushing him away again. On the other hand, Sam is getting more defiant and more stubborn. But this time, Dean can't just sit there and watch, he is not willing to see Sam go away again, since he worked so hard to bring him back, so he stands up to both of them (for may be the first time) and compels them both to stop fighting.
While Sam and John are waiting for Dean to come back from the funeral home, there is still some tension between them, (knowing that Dean is not there to stop them from ripping each other's throats) John tries for some soft conversation with Sam (which doesn't seem to happen often between them),He tells Sam that he didn't intend for him and Dean to have this life, not until Mary was killed, then he had to train the boys make them ready to fight that he stopped being their father, he told Sam that he couldn't see that they are different, but Sam replied that they are not different any more since they seem to share the same sullen vengeful attitude.
When Dean realizes that John is not going to let them take part in fighting THE daemon claiming that he has to keep them safe. Dean stands up for John for the first time in his life that it took both John and Sam by surprise. Dean tells his father that he thinks Sam is right and that they are stronger as a family.
So when the boys disobey John's order and end up saving his life (as Dean defiantly mentioned), He begins to see them as capable adults. And the Winchesters finally learn their lesson, they have to work together as one unit and go through the big fight for better and for worse.
On the down side:For an experienced vampire hunter like Daniel Elkin's, the guy seemed to go down way too easy. Also John's plan seemed to be weak (How could he think that he would outlast those many vampires alone). Furthermore, the vampires' second set of teeth was so ridiculous. And finally, The head vampire with all his power all he could do was to go for Sam's neck! (yes again with the neck, and it won't be the last time).
A very strong episode preparing for the two part finale. You can't skip this.
