Regarding Dean

The Dean moments were great, hilarious and cute. I wasn't a big fan of the witch family or the convenient weapon they always manage to have. Sam's plan was too stupid to believe he went with it and Rowena just gives the book? Still fun, i haven't watched the last few seasons just wanted to see a fun new one and it's definitely spn still. Also why does Dean's voice get this deep? Man it just gets deeper and Deeper,i am concerned for this guy's throat.

On its own this is a really strong monster of the week episode. It uses magic/witches to tell a compelling story that can act as a metaphor (i.e. Dementia) and it brings the brotherly melodrama home. The procedural elements are shuffled enough to seem fresh. Ackles manages to turn in one of his funniest *and* saddest performances of the show's run. Indeed, I most appreciate how the episode is able to use the central conceit equally for laughs and tears.

The episode is so much better than the brutal stretch of lackluster episodes it is in the middle of. It might not come across quite so well as among the best episodes.

My favorite episode of season 12

Dean's beginning to forget himself because of the spell, his speech in the bathroom and his acting leave a dramatic and deep impact. Sam shows concern for his older brother. It should be noted that there are also tragicomic moments, such as Dean comparing himself to Dory. Rowena gives another great performance. Every sentence the powerful and sympathetic witch says and every scene she appears in is enjoyable.

As I always say, the realistic and harmonious chemistry of the Winchester brothers is combined with Rowena's ability to adapt to the situation quite well.

The Rowena / Dean chemistry really works in this one although Dean has good chemistry with everyone. Sam is adorable in this episode looking after his older brother and taking charge. This episode has a bit of everything, sentiment, emotion, action, humor and a monster all wrapped up in one. Some great scenes whilst tracing Dean's steps, a cute bunny and a fun waitress. The scene where Dean saves the day based on post it notes is really great.

I loved this episode! It's been a long time since we've been able to see Jensen's acting range. From comedy, to the poignant scene in the bathroom, Jensen shines! This is definitely in my top 5 favorite episodes of all time!
