I liked most of this one, but hey it's 2 in a row that I liked so that's something.

The carryover of the Cas situation was nice, I think in years past they didn't do that so often, but the last several years they have gotten better so your not wondering if anything ever happened with the previous episode situation. I am not sure what or if they can do anything about Cas, I guess we will see when he finally comes back.

I liked Alicia calling for help, I think we might have more hunters if they learned to call for help more often. It was nice seeing Alicia and Max again, I do believe they are supposed to be parallels for Sam and Dean and as we see at the end of the episode, one makes a decision for the other, I hope we see the fallout of that next season, and wouldn't it be great if they could meet Rowena, imagine Rowena and max together?

I did like Dean was actually in this episode and had something to do, I think he must really be shook up to call his mom, so it was nice to see them calling back and forth, even if they didn't speak. I am looking forward to seeing next episode to see what the boys will do to save their mom.
Loved Dean holding the wineglass, I know it was silly but Jensen does comedy so well.
I still don't like Mary, but seeing her whoop up on Ketch was great, I have been waiting on that to happen for a while now, I hope we see Dean and Ketch fight next week.

I enjoyed the episode and would have posted sooner but I am busy with chores.

After seeing Ketch interrogating a shapeshifter, my conclusion was that Tasha Banes was hunting a shapeshifter. The real monster turned out to be a witch who got her powers from a demon in exchange for her soul. I hope she went on to hell even though Max later picked up the ring.

I was surprised that only the mother and Max were witches. I felt so sorry for Max after he lost both his mother and his twin. I do not think the Alicia clone will be evil. The other clones only attacked when the witch told them to. But...it would be weird for Sam and Dean to run into them later.

Mary did give Ketch a sound beating before he zapped her. It was amusing when she told him that was not fair.

The guys are really worried about Cas, and Dean said he did not recognize Cas in the person who stood before them. No matter what happens with the baby, I do not think Cas would hurt the Winchesters.

I would love to see Rowena and Max meet also. I wonder if she would be a surrogate mother or a cougar.

I liked the episode. At least Den and Sam seemed a little more central to the story this time.

I don't care about Cas. His character witches sides and flip-flops from good to bad way too often for me to be interested in him any more. All I care about is Dean, Sam and Mary.

Sorry to see is still involved with the BMOL at this stage. and I was so happy to hear he tell Ketch she regarded their one night together as a waste of time. I was surprised to see Mary able to sneak around their American headquarters. One would think there would be more guards around or at least more effective surveillance.

While it was good to see the witch family again, they just seemed to be the "cannon fodder" for the episode. Unless Max is going to turn bad and come back to haunt Dean and Sam.

Sorry to see Tory back again. I hope she doesn't do to Mary what she did to Sam. The BMOL always talk about how structured they are; so much better than American hunters, but in all the episodes I've seen, they are pretty well able to do things on their own without following orders as well.

I don't see how this episode ties into baby Lucifer, but will have to wait to see what happens in the episodes to follow.

I will never, ever give up on Castiel.
