Even though this did feel like an in between episode to me, building us up to the finale and getting all the chess pieces in place, I adored the opening section with Chuck, star struck babbling Sam, and Dean's wonderful heartbreaking speech. I also loved the mood change we saw in Lucifer, he seemed much darker and serious that we've seen him before - I loved that.

I'm not sure if Chuck was intentionally blaming Sam for Lucifer's release. Chuck's whole mood changed in that scene, he seemed snappish and irritable at the mention of Lucifer, so clearly there's a lot of complicated father son issues there, which could be very interesting to see played out on screen. So hopefully we see some of that (and wouldn't it just be awesome if this absent father returned thing is carried on into next season and we actually see John back!)

Thanks for sharing your reaction :)
