The angel/human aspect of both relationships, the angel being in love with the human, and the human being the angel’s “weakness.” Ishim just took his feelings to a really dark place that Cas never would.

This has always been one of my favorite episodes. The banter is funny. And the parallel they are drawing between Ishim/Lily and Dean/Cas is interesting!

The best part of this episode was the lovely Alicia Witt, which was a nice surprise. She's had 30 years of steady work and has been in just about everything.
I was slightly disappointed with the lack of subtlety in how they introduced the concepts of this episode. I preferred when SPN was more nuanced in their approach to plot specific topics. But overall I enjoyed the episode.
It's also interesting that even though this episode was IMO anvilicious, you both still felt it was a pamphlet in the book - a side quest. I chuckled at that.
