Thanks Sara.
The boys’ argument in the car and then in the motel later on is slightly unnerving - seeing Sam as the Winchester advocating the hard line on the witches. Dean isn’t liking the change either and when he brings it up with Sam again, Sam says he’s getting ready for when Dean leaves.
It’s been slowly building all season but it’s still a punch in the gut when Sam lays it out there, telling Dean that he needs to turn into him in order to survive in ‘this craphole of a world’.
And what about Dean and Ruby’s conversation at the end? It seems as if they’ve reached an uneasy truce, which is interesting in itself. If seeing Sam slowly try to get rid parts that make him Sam was hard to watch, then equally wrenching is seeing the last little light of hope die from Dean’s eyes when Ruby tells him he’s going to the ‘Pit’. Ouch. Not on Supernatural, no fair breaking my heart twice in one episode!

The only thing that saves this end scene is Dean. Good Lord. While he’s listening to this dribble from Ruby, I don’t for one minute think that he’s consorting with demons. Rather, I think he’s playing her, trying to find out what he can. And the lighting guy, he’s about to propose to me, because would you look at the way the light hits Dean’s face. It’s a hard and unerring light that shows me Dean, spare, rather like all the lushness has been burned off of him. I put this marvelous image down to Ackles himself. Who has, throughout this episode, refined Dean to only those things he needs for the hunt. No wasted movements, no wild gestures, well, except for the time he tried to shoot Ruby, and massive amounts of focus. The last expression of Dean’s that Ackles gives us is like something out of the Manual for Brave Men: This is the expression you wear when you face death. The hair on the back of my neck stood straight up when I saw it.
