This episode is here seemingly only to flog us with the fact that Dean Is Not Doing Well. Sam may have bounced back guilt-free and performatively coping with his hallucifering, but when Dean gets a second to breathe he just dives head-first into feeling trauma, guilt, and loss. And that's a super terrible combo platter on a good day.
And this is not a good day... >.>
Yes I get a little grumpy with Sam, and Dean, and this whole stupid situation. At least Osiris has cool decor, I guess.
