    Suffers from future developments
    This episode by itself was a lark. The changelings are some of the creepiest monster on the show. Likewise, Ben-as-Dean's-Kid-Sort-Of was a very amusing idea and given that is mostly played for laughs it is fun. And seeing an old flame makes perfect sense for Dean's arch. Yet for all that the episode suffers from future developments.

    The script never really develops the connection between Dean-Lisa being transformative of the characters, especially on Lisa's end. (The closest we get is some gossip, which may or may not be true). Given the developments in season 5, and especially season 6, this ends up being huge problem. The episode ends up taking on a more serious tone in continuity and the *fun* of the Ben/Lisa gets ruined.
