Though not my favorite episode of the season, it's a very interesting one; it is a question of faith. It throws new light on the protagonists' personalities. Dean, as it was established before, is not a believer. He has seen too much evil in the world to be able to understand the good. He only believes in what he can see and mostly because Mary had faith yet her faith didn't save her. On the other hand, Sam (like Mary) is a believer, he prays every day. He is very scared of his destiny; he wants to believe so hard, so he might be saved. He was very disappointed to learn that there was no angel. What was interesting about this episode was how doubtful and shaken (even though he was right after all about father Gregory) Dean was after seeing the man gets killed.
I liked the car chase very much, but what bothered me the most about this episode is: How can a spirit move from one place to another? Weren't it supposed to be bound to a place? And How come Sam's EMF couldn't detect it? And finally the most troubling question, where does the spirits go after being put to rest? I mean on the episode "In my time of dying", Tessa the reaper told Dean to chose whether to go with her or not because there was no changing his mind later. I hope you know what I mean.
It's a good episode but if you want to skip it you won't miss much on the story arc.
