As this season is wrapping up, it seems like it would be smart and even clever of the writers to begin grabbing the loose ends and weaving it into a reasonable and interesting plot. However, as we near the end it becomes more apparent that this isn't happening. And this episode is an example of that.
Rather than fix problems that have been dragging on since the start of the season, the writers feel that it is more important to dig deeper holes for the brothers to find themselves stuck in.
More enemies arise, more conflicts come to light before any previous plot points are resolved. Whether or not the writers were going for exciting or dramatic or something similar, all I can gather from this is that the writers have no clue what they are doing and are just throwing more and more "twists" into the mix in a desperate attempt to keep the audience on their toes.
This episode is, surprise surprise, all about Sam lying to Dean and working behind his back to save him. Sound familiar? Ah yes, it's the same plot we've been dragging out for a few months now, and is also identical to the plot we had in season nine when their positions were reversed and Dean was lying to Sam in an attempt to save him. After countless attempts of bringing the brothers together, it is apparent that the brothers truly can not be honest with each other and that the writers will take one step forward only to fall four steps back.
This episode was a mess. Definitely a contender for worst Buckner and Leming episode of all time.
