I don't think Dean was blaming Sam and Cas, I think he was just frustrated because for every step forward they end up two steps behind. He came back from the recon mission expecting that they'd be able to go back soon, only to discover that the Archangel Grace that he was counting on has gone. So he wasn't so much yelling at Sam and Cas, as yelling at the unfairness of it all.
Dean with the other Charlie was nice but bittersweet, especially her parting line "That's not your call" . Because yeah, it isn't his call if this Charlie wants to stay just like it wasn't his call if his Charlie wanted to help him.
This is one of my favorite Episodes in season 13. But again, Gabriel is one of my favourite angels out of Cas! And Dean saving Charlie (especially after that mess in season 10 finale, was everything that HE needed.) Great reaction.
The writers had Lucifer take over heaven and then do nothing with it! This is what I hate about Lucifer now, the writers have no damn clue what to do with him and it's ruining his image! I don't care if he's powerful and can be intimidating sometimes, he doesn't have a plan and everything he does feels random, if he doesn't have a plan then why didn't the writers leave him in Apocalypse world or the cage?
Disagree I think the fact that he doesnt have a plan points toward his true personality. Hes a petulant child. He likes thing his way, he wants to be the center of attention. When he isnt he wrecks the board. That was his true aelf all along. Even back in season 5 what was his plan. Kill all human, all angels who would not obey him and all demons. Frankly he didnt have a plan then either. All he wanted was to get sam and fight micheal. Thats not a plan.
I couldn't care less about Ketch and Lucifer, either. Reliving the return of Felicia through your reaction was amazing. Dean knows that this situation affects all of them, and I didn't see his reaction at the end as him blaming or being mad at Sam or Cas. He just seems to be extremely frustrated at the circumstances altogether and how things have a habit to turn to shit constantly (and also blames himself like usual, as you said). Thank you for this, can't wait to see you reacting to the rest of the season.
So the plot in the Bunker was underwhelming and disappointing. Asmodeus was barley in the season and I'm pretty sure only had direct contact with the brothers once, so his death wasn't impactful nor satisfying. And while I enjoy the rare combo of Sam & Cas, I would rather have them work on their dynamic and strengthen their bound, but their time was focused on Gabriel instead. Speaking of whom, while I sympathized with what he's been through it was still a dick move to leave like that! And his excuse of him being afraid of Lucifer doesn't feel valid given how weak we know he is and how less of a threat he's proven to be over this season.
I think your being way too hard on Dean. The whole point of him and Ketch going into the other world wasn't to find Mary & Jack but for recon, to get the lay of the land since even though Lucifer mentioned he was imprisoned with her he didn't say where it was, and the Apocalypse verse is an entire planet so they got to narrow it down. If Dean & Ketch happen to find Jack and Mary then they would act but it was unlikely, the trip was mainly for intelligence and they succeeded on that part. And when he got back he had every reason to be frustrated and to shout, especially after the emotional roller-coaster of seeing the other Charlie and leaving again not sure if she would survive. Dean doesn't blame Sam & Cas, he's more mad at Gabriel, and the universe and himself but its normal to shout and get mad after something like that, at least he didn't hit either of them. I do however agree that I don't like Ketch regardless if he's redeemed or not.

This makes way more sense.

Agree, I still find him funny tho.

Have you seen the Hillywood Supernatural Parody 2 yet?
