Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSam and Dean use the aliases "Detective Dante" and "Detective Landis". Joe Dante directed The Howling (1981) and John Landis directed An American Werewolf in London (1981).
- GoofsIn the first scene where you see the corpse of Nate the office guy for the first time, watch as he is pulled out of the freezer. As Sam talks to the women about his mysterious death, the "dead" man quite clearly blinks. This occurs at 3:39 just as the title "Heart" appears on screen.

Featured review
Shows the limits of acting/directing. Overall, this is a lackluster episode
Jensen and Jared end up really making this episode watchable as their performances do a lot to make this mess land emotionally. Add in Manners doing his best to save a bad monster design (caused by bad writing) and you can see how much, sorry little, a bad script can be saved. And yes this was a terrible script.
First, it ends up hanging two lanterns just to get the clunky plot to work. Both around how and why a key transformation does and does not happen. The Madison-Sam relationship really, really rings hollow as there just isn't a deep enough connection between the two. (It would almost have been better to cut the final story beat and save it for a future episode). There are too many red herrings and most of them are ineffective. Gamble is one of gi the better writer's on the show but boy did this script get away from her.
The worst thing about this through is this story required a very different werewolf design than every other episode of the show. It is an OK design for Heart but it is crappy for the show on the whole. Ugh.
