Revealing mistakes: The song Dean is listening to on his mobile phone is actually called 'Down On Love', a song written especially for the series by Jamie Dunlap. The song is incorrectly named as 'Kashmir' by Led Zeppelin on Dean's mobile phone screen.

Dean Winchester: Well, I think I learned a valuable lesson: Always take down your Christmas decorations after New Year's, or you might get filleted by a hooker from God.

Men Cannot Be Angels

In Providence, Rhode Island, the local Gloria kills a man claiming that an angel in a beautiful white night had chosen her for redemption and asked her to stab the sinner to accomplish God's will. Dean and Sam investigate the case and they discover that other people had been visited by the angel and committed murders. Further, the angel has appeared after the death of Father Gregory, who was murdered on the steps of his church two months ago. When Sam is visited by the angel and asked to kill a man, the skeptical and atheist Dean confronts the faith of Sam telling that men cannot be angels and the light is an angry spirit indeed.

"Houses of the Holy" is a tale of faith versus skepticism represented by Sam and Dean. The episode is engaging, with an attractive story, maybe the first without demons or fiends. My vote is eight.
