Wait, something happened in the episode after those images of Dean scrambling eggs? Um, I mighta gotten a little stuck there...

Seriously, JA, fat or not (there's a reason they call them love handles *g*) gave the episode what little emotional continuity it had--he's just such an expressive actor.

And, since we're in the business of home truths--the ep was a little like Yellow Fever for me: I couldn't tell if Sam's inexpressiveness was a character point or just a byproduct of JP's acting...
