I agree that Colin Ford was awesome. I definitely believe he added a lot to the episode. But I'm still a bit thrown out of the show by the obvious difference in ages between him and Brock Kelly. As we've discussed, Sam and Dean are 4 years apart. According to IMDB (and yeah, I know they don't have the best track record at accuracy), Colin was born 9/12/96, so he's 12. Brock was born 8/17/85, so he's 23. That's a big difference, and I thought it showed onscreen.
I liked the ending -- no roadside speechifying, and more character development for Sam. And going back to visit a meaningful teacher just seemed like something Sam would do.

Me too. It took me out of the story a little, honestly, because I was all, "Wait, what the fuck, HOW much older is Dean, Jesus God."
Yes, me too ... I kept getting distracted by the apparent age difference. Also that guy's voice was deep ... and didn't crack once (which I dimly remember happening in HS).
I swear, despite it not being so on IMDB, that Brock looked taller than Jensen.
As Dean's inferiority complex grew, his height did the opposite.

Maybe because he was hanging around Colin Ford rather than Jared Padalecki?

Nah, it was next to the high school students that I thought Jensen looked shorter than I was expecting.
Am I the only one who thought that the second girl teenaged Dean was making out with in the closet looked a lot like Ruby's current body host? I didn't record the ep so I can't check again.
No, not the only one. I did a double take.
