Lovely recap and review. And I'm enjoying reading all the comments too. :)

Hee, and yes I am sure a million destiel fans were thinking "It's Cas!" - but so clearly it was Amara and I'm fascinated by the idea that Dean is feeling some sort of love - or maybe even desire/need. I wonder how that will be handled - if done well (do I snigger at that?) it could be great Dean insight.

The episode was beautifully shot - it's something they get consistently right. :))
