This was a decent episode overall, aside from the utter bullshit that was the mythology aspect of this story. Sam Hain?! Really? And the Halloween origins given here sounded like BS to me, too, having grown up in a Wiccan household.
I’m also not sure why Sam had to “go all the way” with using his demon powers to exorcise Sam Hain, either. He couldn’t have held him in place with his psychic powers and then retrieved the knife? Not to mention Dean just stood there staring himself, rather than making himself useful. Nice going, guys.
However, it was cool to see a Monster of the Week episode that tied into the myth arc and brought up the 66 seals again.
And did Castiel not want to shake Sam’s hand (which was my first impression), or did it just take him several seconds to figure out or remember that human gesture? It was a great moment either way.
