Brother fighting evil with some crazy on top

Warning: Spoilers
Dean gets a text message with coordinates of a haunted asylum. Th place is inhabited by some spirits, one of them is for a Dr. Ellicott that drives his victims insane with Sam falling as one of his victims. This is one of the stand alone episodes that gives the viewer a break from the intensity of the story arch.

There are some good parts of this episode:

1- Sam is getting annoyed about not being able to find their father and Dean refusing even the probability of him being hurt.

2- I liked the charade they did on the cop. They are making a good team.

3- Sam is angry that Dean is blindly following John's orders without even questioning it.

4- In the scene with the psychiatrist Sam still has conflicted feelings about his brother. He doesn't know whether to run away from him or to appreciate and stick with him.

5- I like the fact that Dean is a natural protector. He always makes Sam take people out to safety (check out the start of the "Faith" episode) and he volunteers in the risky stuff without even thinking. Some people may find him reckless but I think it's part of who he is always thinking about the safety of others (especially Sam's).

6- Gavin, you are an idiot. What were you thinking taking your girlfriend into that place. I'm glad she dumbed you.

7- I'm still hurt that Sam (even if he wasn't himself) would actually hurt his brother but even then Dean says sorry for knocking him out.

8- Dean, you are never in the "sharing caring kinda of mood". You are hurt so you should tell him or things will get nasty between you two.

9- Does Sam ever sleep? How can he keep going?

10- And finally the mysterious John Winchester decides to give his sons a call. Really!
