While watching the episode, the following Rilke quote came to mind:

Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels' hierarchies?

and even if one of them pressed me suddenly against his heart:

I would be consumed in that overwhelming existence.
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are still just able to endure,

and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us.

Every angel is terrifying.

--"First Duino Elegy" by Rainer Maria Rilke (Translated by Stephen Mitchell)

The above passage might as well be an ode to Castiel, BAMF Angel of the Lord. But however BAMF he may be, he's still not a good liar. Sooner or later the Winchesters will find out about his "regrettable actions" in a spectacularly bad way and his friendship with them will deteriorate even more I just know it D:

Also,I think I'm finally warming up to Balthazar. He's such a bastard, heh. (Making sure the '67 Impala isn't manufactured? Que horror!) Aaaand, ladies and gentlemen, we have a Shipper on Deck, and it fills me with GLEE. Heh.

Damn you for linking to TVTropes & damn me for clicking.

but yes, Balthazar was pretty awesome last eppy. I loved his "Oooh. Awkward!" comment.
