What I loved most about the episode was that everyone seemed to be struggling with their beliefs on right and wrong. Dean knew it was wrong to torture, but he also knew that something powerful enough to kill angels was bad news. He was rewarded with a case of be careful what you wish for, as the truth he learned from Alistair was devastating. Castiel, who had already shown signs of doubting his beliefs discovered his long time friend and comrade had betrayed him and had switched sides. And Sam continued to struggle with using his demonic powers. Although I think for Sam, he still believes that since he is using the powers for good that it is alright. An opinion definitely not shared by Dean and Castiel.

There were some incredible performances by the actors, particularly Jensen Ackles and Mischa Collins. I have no idea what possessed the actor playing Alistair to try and sound like Brando from the Godfather, but it was AWFUL. Very distracting and I have no idea why he played it that way. The story was solid and I was fooled by the reveal of the murderer. All in all, one of my favorite Supernatural episodes so far.
