8/10
Let's get back to basics
31 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
We have been promised that Supernatural is going back to its early season's basics, and what better way to do so than a simple old school ghost hunt, which has been always one of the strongest assets of the show. So we are having rock salt loaded shot guns, salt circles, iron, digging graves, burning bones, gory deaths and of course one of the boys having a spark with a nice girl.

This job also gave the boys a chance to deal with each other on a mature manner than their usual behaviour. Sam had to listen to his brother's reasons and learn why Dean had to lie to him about Amy. Sam had the right to be angry with Dean, not only for killing his friend but also for lying to him and for hiding things out. On the other hand, Dean had to see that he has to learn to trust someone again, he had to explain himself to his little brother, telling him exactly why he had been lying to him. Dean had to open up a little and tell his brother how concerned he is about Sam's state of mind and how hurt he is about Castiel's betrayal. He told Sam how hard it had been for him to have to lie so he is retreating to drinking.

I like the way the boys returned to work with each other, they had to be professional when peoples lives was at stake and this gave them time to accept being with each other and accept talking to each other. And I'm glad the Amy issue is finally water under the bridge.
