My frustration with this series is growing exponentially with every self-contained storyline. Two weeks in a row has seen Supernatural give us silly stories, with weak villains that shouldn't hold a candle to the Brothers Winchester, and yet they somehow managed to get almost killed both times. The creative forces of this show have built Sam and Dean up to be the two most important sentient beings in all of heaven and earth but they can't best a 16 year old?
Thankfully, we did get a couple of morsels as far as canonical information is concerned. Dean has a bounty on his head that all of hell is looking to collect on. That bounty is more than likely to come into play at some point in the future. Furthermore, Dean is so willing to forgive and forget with Sam that he pretended not to notice when the fake Sam was acting off because he seemed so dam happy. Dean commenting about how nice it was for the two of them to drink together was a seriously sad moment.
That all being said, it took Dean how long to realize Sam was not Sam? Also, it's one thing not to check your messages in a 24 hour time period, it's another not to realize that you have no cell phone at all. Especially when you have 10 or so phones, bad form Dean.
Speaking of phone calls, if Sam couldn't reach Dean why wouldn't he try Bobby? If for some odd reason Bobby didn't pick up why wouldn't he try to reach the family whose house they were ghost-busting? And how many times can Sam get tranquilized by 16 year old boys? It's embarrassing, he's supposed to be strong enough to hold the essence of Lucifer.
Kudos to the actress who played the girl in the geek trio with the Star Wars obsession (I miss Buffy). She had a very believable turn when possessed by the unnamed demon and was legitimately creepy. Though even the demon's motivations were suspect. It explained that the usurper to Sam's body could give the vessel to Lucifer but then wasted a bunch of time seemingly waiting to get exorcised.
If someone in possession of Sam's body can give it to Lucifer, that would seemingly be the only way the devil gets his due.
