I love that motel room it's just so....Supernatural. This episode felt like a breath of fresh air, i needed to have a light hearted episode.
I agree i think last episode was a wake up call for Dean, even Dean stated that at the beginning of this episode. I also feel that this season has been exploring and dealing with Dean's issues and flaws a lot more than previous seasons (i.e. people bringing up his hypocrisy more, his drinking, his coping mechanisms etc) and i, personally, felt that this season was similar to that of Sam's emotional journey of season 4/5 - just that Dean has hit rock bottom but i think he is slowly starting to climb out of that hole. I also think that Dean is taking advice from people this season, Bobby, Frank, Elliot Ness and Sam and i think he is 'faking it until he makes it' not just for him but for Sam too. I think that Sam desperately begging Dean to stay alive at the end of last episode also helped give Dean some strength as well as that last scene in 7.13 was quite similar to Fresh blood with Sam asking Dean to be his brother again just 'cause. I do think Dean's behaviour was genuine also because Dean has always been 'it's the little things that count' kind of person but i don't think it will last.
I loved the last scene and the banter between the brothers. I loved that Sam loved that Dean was laughing at him - just because Dean was laughing. I loved the giant slinky and... just everything. Also evil killer unicorns!!
I'd love to think that this has been some sort of step forward (though, with 9 episodes to go i would say it would be one step forward and five steps back knowing this show *g*)
I do love that they are addressing Dean's issues. I mean, he has such deep and interesting ones, there's so much to explore.
The end was so great. I love that Sam just KNEW that Dean was going to tease him. And when he did I think it was such a lovely relief for Sam. And I adored that Sam was actually loving seeing Dean having a good, big laugh.
Of course, I'm sure the knife in the heart it just around the corner. (grin)
