Yay!!! Finally an episode focused on Sam'n'Dean and not just Sam or Dean or side characters and victims.
This is how I expected the new female characters to insert into the show. This was a tight and extremely fun episode.
I still think Bela having the accent was a poor idea by the show. It makes her stand out in a world where anonymity and being forgettable are invaluable tools. That being said, I still like Bela's character and it's fun how she is a worth adversary and thorn to Dean. Bela's pranks and teasing were hilarious. Adorably cute facial expressions aside, Dean however needs to step it up and compete with her.
Loved the Sam and the old cougar sideline! It was like oh, no, they are not going to go there!
And then they did! 
The brother reveal behind the hookman ghost and the ghost ship was interesting and I didn't see it coming. How the two canceled each other out was quite beautifully done.
Sam is now the highlight of the show. Unfortunately I feel that is due more to default rather than the show actually exploring his character. So although Sam is now infinitely huggable, we still have yet to delve as deep as we once did on Dean and all his character's idiosyncrasies. But I guess that never really mattered, since they have turned Dean into a one note shell of a character. I can understand having a bunch of despairing and unrealistic expectations about the validity of a stupid decision. But to say them aloud and still think it makes wise sense tears down Dean's character in ways I thought impossible.
I'm really disappointed in dragging out a single mentality for so long especially since I have always feared this to be their last season. And with the looming strike, I'd hate to see the show end without any resolution to Dean's deal or Sam's destiny. However I loved this episode greatly and easily top two of eps this season.
