As sad as the ending to this episode was, it was no where near as bad as all the hardcore SPN fans are complaining about.
Charlie was one of my favorite characters and her death is the only reason this episode is trashed so badly. Don't get me wrong, this episode was nothing to write home about, but it's very unjustly been torn to shreds.
The story was on par with everything else season 10 has had to offer. I wish I hadn't looked at the user reviews before seeing the episode (You can blame "Bloodlines", "Bitten" & "Paint it Black" for me even needing to check, as to save myself slogging through 40 something minutes of trash again), but trust me, this wasn't a bad episode.
The only major negative is that her death felt very rushed. It did feel like her character warranted something better. Something bigger. More of a fight. But honestly, ignore all the 1/10 reviews saying "Worst. Episode. Ever.", because it simply wasn't. The story with the Steins was fine, not great, but very reasonable.
Very sad to see Charlie go, but if this show has taught me anything "In this line of work, death isn't always goodbye"
8/10
