Great review. As usual I agree with most everything you said.

I loved Dean calling that girl sweetheart. That would be comforting to me. And I think it's nice that he does that. I mean when a man calls a perfect stranger sweetheart in a sleezy way then there's a problem, but calling friends, children, and people in need of comfort sweet names? I think that's fine.

When I first saw this episode it never occured to me that fans would get offended over thier 'portrayal'. I just thought of it as teasing...and I still do.
