There were so many plot holes and inconsistencies in this episode it made me sick. The worst part wasn't that the person Jared Padalecki was playing wasn't Sam Winchester but some weird messed-up OOC version of him, the worst part wasn't that they reduced Cas to a bumbling babysitter unable to make his own decisions and left him to take care of a chained up Rowena (who had been left alone previously for a time) while he could have been saving Charlie. No the worst part was the mangling of Charlie herself and everything she's stood for. They left her broken in bath tub. Dead. They didn't show the fight, the struggle, they showed her broken and defeated for no other purpose than to cause man pain. Her death was heartbreaking and pointless. This is the worst episode of Supernatural that has ever been written. They've gotten rid of an openly queer, strong woman on a show that's got misogynistic tendencies at best and they've alienated many fans- including this one. Terrible episode. I advise skipping it entirely.
