Trivia
In the hospital after Dean punches the glass, "code grey" is heard on the overhead speaker. Code grey is a common code in many healthcare facilities for a combative person.

Goofs
When Dean confronts Dick outside the hospital, Dick smiles widely. The camera immediately changes to a relief shot where Dick is completely straight-faced.

Quotes
Bobby Singer: Well that's a load of crap. Who the hell were you to say?
Ed Singer: I'm your father. And you show your father respect.
Bobby Singer: The day he deserves it. You drunken bully. Punching women and kids, is that what they call fatherhood in your day?
Ed Singer: You deserved it. Believe me, you were nothing but ungrateful.
Bobby Singer: I was a kid! Kids ain't supposed to be grateful. They're supposed to eat your food and break your heart, ya selfish dick! You died and I was still so afraid I'd turn into you, I never even had kids of my own.
Ed Singer: Good. You break everything you touch.
Bobby Singer: Well, as fate would have it, I adopted two boys and they grew up great. They grew up heroes. So you can go to hell!

Highlight of the season, might be Gamble's best script

I know a lot of people are annoyed with Bobby's ending on the show but to me this felt like an organic change in the show's overall composition to allow the boys to change and to grow. Further, it doesn't come out of nowhere as season 7 is built around stripping away everything that boys hold dear.

Anyway, the episode onto itself is truly excellent. Singer gets a lot out of Gamble's script and the visuals really sell the central Inception like dreamscape of the episode. It provides a nice and believable backstory for Bobby. And it nails the final moment perfectly. One of the most emotional episodes.
