Hi! I love your observation on the stooges cap. Fighting "water" that's beyond their control. And now we know that the cap wasn't selcted because of the bars it could be that the water caught their attention.

And yes, I think Dean was trying too hard (when laughing at the stooges). I keep trying to work out how this episode tied into the last one when he killed without being driven by the mark (which I truly believe), maybe he thought he was able to control it more that he actually was. Or perhaps just trying to forget while he can.

It definitely needed more Winchesters!!!
