I loved this episode. I was really nervous about it though. Dean does not take betrayal well. I have to say though, my favorite part was just a singls shot where Cas looked directly at the camera. It gave me chills. It set the tone for me for the rest of the episode. His confusion, his frustration and his honest confession. It was mind blowing. I love your comparison of Castiel and Raphael. I agree that Raphael was more prideful than Cas. I can't wait to see how this set us up for the finale!
