And yes, I agree with you. It was an extremely well acted and character driven storyline for Sam, whereas Dean and Cas were really the comic relief of the episode - even with the supposedly serious task of trapping an archangel. And I agree, you never really got the sense that Cas was in that much danger.
That being said, I DO understand why Dean brought Cas to a brothel instead of a bar - he needed a sure thing. Not only is it extremely hard to pick someone up on behalf of your friend - it's even harder to get that person to sleep with your friend when your friend is socially inept. So, yeah, when in doubt, throw money at the problem.
But yeah, what you really got with this episode was: Sam: SERIOUS HEARTWRENCHING STORYLINE Dean: It's the new Odd Couple! Stay tuned for wacky hijinks!
