I like that analogy of Peter and the lost boys - it's very apt, and I think rings true.
They try to compensate for the lack but when you see them with Ellen in the picture, you realize how off they've been.
I find this is the case with the scenes where Dean and Sam get to see their mother too (even if she is just a withdrawal-hallucination)...it's like suddenly, in the presence of their mother, we see how truly broken and vulnerable they are without her. I think we got just a LITTLE bit of that here, where suddenly with Ellen around, everything seemed a little more solid, their foundations a little stronger.
