I must say that after the disastrous start of the season that was episode 1, I had almost lost my last hope. Episode 2 was a bit better, but still far from OK (though I liked a lot the cinematography in the final scene when Dean appears, those red light eerie shots were awesome). But I personally liked this episode, it gave me hope that maybe Supernatural is not yet entirely lost.
I appreciated the fact that Michael was only mentioned and not actually present as it reminded me of the good ol' days, when Supernatural episodes were much simpler, with Sam and Dean fighting a regular monster, without having an overpowered super villain lurking in the shadows. I liked the Jack/Castiel arc, they were dealing with a girl that was enchanted by a witch (just like Sam and Dean would in the glorious past) and Jack finally learned that he can be helpful and save lives even without having his powers, he realized how important brains are (in opposition to what Dean had told him, that he weighs 100 pounds soaking wet and all) and that he must not entirely rely on muscles. Maybe now we're not gonna see him whining about not being a Nephilim anymore.
Jody still kicks ass and I liked a lot that I haven't seen any SJW cr*p in this episode as she got punched like a man and also her arm got broken, despite being a woman. Equality is the answer, kudos to that!
The Kaya character is pretty awesome, love her cool movements with her spear, some of them seem ripped out of a computer game. And it's nice to see that she's not evil, or not as evil as I thought. Another thing that worked for me was the absence of Bobby (who should have stayed dead) and Mary (who never should have been brought back) in this episode. Looking forward to what twists we might get, even though perhaps they should wrap it up this season.
