For a Novaks-centric episode, I quite liked this one! (And does this mean you think that Sam and Dean are canonically soulmates? Because that would make me very happy.)
For a while there, when Claire and Amelia reunited, I was thinking they might become the new Jo and Ellen. Guess that wasn't meant to be. With all of the show's emphasis on family though I think that any supporting characters should fit into that theme somehow in order to be successful. The reason characters such as Jody and Charlie work so well for me (well, other than the fact that I love having recurring female characters) is that Sam and Dean are so obviously fond of them and consider them family. I guess Claire worked well for me in this episode because she had some really good scenes with both Sam and Dean. Felt more organic and connected to the heart of the show, somehow.
