How much do I love Dean standing up for Sam, noticing everything he's doing? SO MUCH. I mean, I'm sure part of it is the classic "no one gets to talk smack about my little brother except me," but part of it is that he really is proud of Sam and what he's doing.

This is what I wanted to see--Sam being in charge, doing it well, and Dean being unequivocally proud of him. It made the ep for me.

Interesting take on djinns--we've had a couple of varieties and they are my fav monsters--but I did think this version was not in the least as elegant as the other djinn we've met. Michael is a hack.
