Yep. Last week involved fingers in the ears too.

FWIW, the silent black void that served as Hell in John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness is still the scariest damn depiction I can remember.
Oh yeah, with Lisa Blount jumping through the mirror and then slowly fading into darkness as the light from the gateway flickers and goes out...
There's a similar depiction of damnation in Mimi Rogers' final scene in The Rapture

Questions:
Was Lillith possessing Ruby the first instance we've seen of a demon possessing another demon? And post-possession, is Ruby still a demon the way she was before?
If Dean was seeing demons' true faces, was his "hallucination" of Sam's face at the beginning of the ep really a reveal of a demon within Sam struggling to come to the forefront?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm choosing to think Sam's stretchy-face is a hallucination brought on by the nearness of the hellhounds--it's always been an accompaniment to their approach before. I don't think it signaled Sam was a demon when Dean saw it.
Ruby was possessing the (and keeping alive the probably dead) body of a young woman. My understanding is that Lillith ousted Ruby-demon's "spirit" and sent her far, far away, while Lillith possessed the mortal body.
I'm assumming that Ruby has reverted to the form she had while she was in hell, before she escaped the open gate a year ago and took possession of the hot blond body. She has also probably been sent back to hell, but time will tell on that one.
Also, on rewatch: the cruiser the guys were hiding after Dean killed the demon-ridden cop had numbers painted on the roof. It was car 54.

See, that was my first thought when Dean said he could see the demons. That is going to be my guess. There is just to much building to it with Ruby saying, "your God given talent, well, not exactly God given"

Yeah, I have post show blues too. Which is actually really good because it is honestly one of a handful of episodes that I've wanted to watch more than once this season. Right now my order of favorite season is going 2,1, and then 3 (with much love for the Ben episode, the Christmas episode,and then the finale).
Someone on my flist has posited that Dean is either in Purgatory or Limbo, rather than actual hell. The anteroom, as it were. The vestibule, the Green Room, from which he may be more easily retrieved than from Actual Hell.
I think they are right. Didn't the demon that trapped Dean for a time before Sam shot her, despite Dean's protests, talk with Dean about the "Devil" being as unknown as "God". There may not be a one true Hell, but rather closer to the whedonverse concepts of hell dimensions. He certainly looked like he was in a waiting room for a big frickin spider. They definitely have different departments what with the coup d'etat being attempted among the demon ranks.

I agree. i mean, pretty much every demon that has held any kind of conversation with Dean has been gloating about friends waiting to meet him in hell and he was very much alone when he was shown. i definitely think hell will have a welcoming party(if he ever sees it).
