There’s a lot to unpack in this episode. There’s some similarities to Jack’s endgame problem-- wanting a world without lies. Sure, lies can cause problems, but so can the truth, if you’re suddenly overwhelmed with it and forced to deal with it.
Poor Cas gets turned into a toy for a hot minute, and the nature of how Dean interacts with him is evolving, too. After the horror of 5.04, it’s hard to blame him for that.
Sam and Dean are seemingly back on the same page at least, and Sam gets to plead with the antichrist to choose the right thing, because nobody could stop him if he refused. And isn’t that a kick in the pants? It’s pretty healing all around.
