Getting ready to steal yo girl

This scene is such a great insight though. This is something that Dean has done dozens of times over the years, probably something he learned from John, Sam  did too—how to look like a drunk, an easy mark, when in fact you are the hustler. Remember how Sam objected to hustling back in season one?

What’s interesting that what set Dean off in this scene was the college kid announcing playing for money—loud and entitled. The kid looked a lot like the snobbish Dash from “Ask Jeeves” who looked down on Sam and Dean for wearing flannel. This isn’t just about the money or the game. Dean wasn’t satisfied just taking the kids to the cleaners for their cash. He wanted the kid’s watch, the one his dad gave him, the status symbol. This hustle was a kind of class warfare for Dean.

When Dean mocked him out about the watch, it became a very different scene for me than just another hustle. I kind of felt like that moment again harkened to a simpler time for Sam and Dean, season 1 and season 2 where Dean was doing what he had to do to feed himself and Sam having to learn to be that guy again. At the same time highlighting that Sam and Dean might live in the bunker, but they are still just blue collar guys.

I liked the bar scenes quite a bit, there was something poetic to Dean having everyone come to him. The hustle, Rowena and then Crowley. It was a total contrast to Sam’s journey of a many locations and having to track people down.
