So...the episode was ok. I actually liked that Mary could focus on her sons without distraction. Although I wonder-- when did she capture Abraxas? Was the box a BMOL invention? Could there be another to trap MIchael?

Although the acting was fine, I miss the the times when I felt good and energized after the show. I have enough trauma in my life---I choose to be less emotionally engaged  in the show these days. Therefore Dean's intentions leave me unmoved and seem bland--just another incidence of Winchester self-sacrifice. Unless the Book was really about Sam having to be hurt and Dean is trying to avoid that?

Sam following his intuition and driving to his brother was my favorite part & his telling off Nick was my second.
