Not a bad episode! Dean is portrayed as a meanie in this one. Sam and Dean escape the creatures from the hospital. Sam goes on a mission for a creature that saved his life years ago. Sam finds out this female creature killed people to save her child. In the end, Dean kills the creature which Sam could not. I believe this episode will cause future conflicts between the brothers. Good episode had the viewer wondering what will happen next? One finds out that Sam is sane and rational in spite of Dean's doubts about his brother. Nice to see the series back on track. Bobby was absent from this episode. The series seems odd now without Casiel. I give "Defending Your Life" an eight out of ten
Dean the control freak brother who demands to know every single detail of Sam's life, and who goes nuts if Sam leaves out a detail, shows what kind of dishonest hypocrite he really is. How many times has Dean gone bonkers if he finds out that Sam did not give him a detailed explanation of every dream, nightmare, memories, thoughts, etc.?
Sam is trying hard to trust Dean (big mistake), and tells Dean about Amy Pond (not the Doctor Who sidekick). Sam met her back when they were both children, and Amy saved Sam from getting killed by her Mom, a kitsune.
Amy is a kitsune who eats the thyroid glands of humans. She tells Sam she is working as a mortician so she only eats dead people. Kind of gross, but Sam lets her slide because she was the first girl he ever kissed.
After he tells Dean the story, and asks him not to pursue Amy, Dean agrees, out of love and respect for Sam. Pathetically, it turns out Dean is a lying sack, and he tracks down Amy and shows her no mercy, and betrays his brother Sam.
I would have liked this show better without Dean. Every time Dean got sent to hell or otherwise met Death, I hoped he was being written out of the show. Dean was an annoying character who always thought he was better than everyone else. His motto was "do as I say, not as I do."

Did they really force the 15 yr old actress to wear a shirt with her boobs hanging out? You they are did.. absolutely disgusting! It's one thing to have a consenting adult with their cleavage out the entire episode which I always think is awful and the show is full of it but to do it to the little girl and I'm pretty sure she was actually 15 at the time. Repulsive.! Shame!
Its a flipflop episode that contradicts previous episodes that certainly a mishap throughout the entire series but a soul crunching episode nonetheless and hits deep to sam and the betrayal within family regardless of his own feelings. Stellar episode but missing stars due to the flipflopping on character development. I certainly think this was a episode to pave the way to the brothers dynamic and most likely a way to see how both could sway from their principals to meet what they truly need in the heat of the moment or just to appease their own satisfactions so they can be able to look themselves in a mirror at the end of the day.
Bobby rescues Dean and Sam from the Sioux Falls General Hospital and they recover their injuries in a hideout in Montana. When Sam reads in the news about the death of three scumbags in the Livingston Park in Lincoln, Nebraska, he steals the Impala and drive to Nebraska.
Sam meets a woman, Amy, in the woods ready to attack a driver. She hits Sam but he meets her,again at her home. Sam recalls when he was a young teenager and he falls in love with the girl Amy. However he discovers that Amy and her mother are Kitsunes that feed with human brains. When her mother is ready to kill him, he is protected by Amy. Now Amy explains why she killed her victims and Sam let her go. Now he has to convince Dean to spare Amy.
"The Girl Next Door" is an episode that I did not like at all. I did not like Dean's attitude luring Sam and stabbing Amy, betraying his brother. The writers did a poor job in this story and I believe that this murder will certainly bring a conflict between Sam and Dean. Last but not the least, I am impressed with the astonishing beauty of Emma Grabinsky. My vote is eight.
