Of the three episodes this season, this is my favorite. The look on Ketch's face when he realizes that his life--and heart--are literally in someone's hands was perfect. He said he wouldn't give them up and Ardat took him seriously at once. And Sam and Rowena, who figuratively hold the hearts and lives of the world  in their hands. Sam breaks his own heart by accepting a tremendous burden of killing a friend in order to save everyone else...I thought for a split second when he said "No" that he meant he wasn't going to kill her. Cas, who finally gives in to his broken heart, and attacks the demon mocking him from inside his dead son's body. To watch a demon use his son's body as a vessel to betray the Winchesters piled on top of his own guilt. And Dean, whose already broken heart must now worry over Sam as well as grieve Rowena. Grieving people can't always support other grieving people, so no wonder Dean and Cas fight. This one rang true for me emotionally.
