Four weeks of polls: Narrowing down the most rewatchable episode of S6

Season 6 is a difficult one for me. I wasn't watching in real time, so I started it right after Swan Song (literally, immediately after) and I guess that's why I had such a hard time with it. Swan Song ended so perfectly, with Sam's love for Dean and his sacrifice and then we get to 6.01 and, hello? Sam's really a dick. I had a hard time getting past that, and each episode left me progressively more unhappy and confused. But once it became apparent that something was really wrong with Sam, that he wasn't just being written as a jerk under the new management, I was okay with it. And then, when it was revealed he was without a soul, and he stopped trying to be so careful about everything he said because he didn't need to hide it any more, Soulless Sam became my soul animal. (Clap Your Hands If You Believe is, IMHO, the pinnacle of his soul-free snarky wonderfulness. But Caged Heat is pretty amazing too.)
