Urgh to be honest it really disappointed me that when Castiel brings Sam back the focus immediately switches to Castiel experiencing his halluncinations, so we didn't get any kind of brotherly moment there at all :/ That scene should have played as epic times, even if they couldn't manage a hug, but instead the possibilities were just thrown away. I don't think this episode was bad exactly, but I admit I am really disappointed after how much I had build my expectations up. I so loved 702 making it all about Dean needing to talk Sam down from his craziness, this episode throwing Castiel into the mix just shortchanged all of the characters IMO
The final ending with Cas felt so abrupt too, it would have added a lot more pathos if we had seen Sam and Dean looking in on him and asking if there's nothing else that can be done, instead of just throwing that in there as some quick exposition...
