I'd forgotten what the title was until this moment. Ouch!

I'm also having trouble putting into words what I'm trying to say. I've come to realize that amnesia is one of my favorite plot elements (time loops being just another version) exactly because it allows characters to explore new ways of interacting. But I don't think I've ever seen it used to such "good" effect as it is here, deconstructing not just Dean's character but Sam's. Thinking back to how he had planned Stanford all along while still telling himself he wasn't necessarily going to go, and watching his plans slowly change until what Dean accuses him of at the end becomes abundantly clear.

And really, I can't imagine the Trickster's glee when he discovered what Sam had gotten up to now. Great read.
