I'm on the fence about this ep. There were things I loved, and things I was uhm, what? about. I will watch again, I was a little distracted last night. Mostly, what I took away from the ep was, I'm so very sorry for Sam and the life that could have been his. I was surprised at how much I wished he could have had that. And how very, very much I want those stories--so effing much!
What did you guys think of the ep?

And it was, as always, heartbreaking to see Dean's jealous protectiveness of his dad. He *hates* having anyone know anything or have a connection to his dad, especially if he feels like they let him down or mistreated him. I loved loved loved revisiting old eps in the 'then', and seeing John's journal.
It was sad, yes, to see the boy's 'what if' future. To know that an accident doomed them to a life of loss and struggle. But it was good they met Henry, and know a little more.
I just *know* Sam will fight to keep that box. He had that *look*, you know? He's definitely a Winchester - thinking, reading, researching, learning. Not that Dean isn't, but that's how Sam geeks out, heh.
I loved. It made me happy and sad and it made me laugh, too. I thought Abbadon was cool, and her 'death' - omg! Evil. But deserved. Over all? Excellent!
