At the episode: I liked it a great deal, maybe because I wasn't really expecting that the story with Lucifer and Death would be followed here. Supernatural really seldom does that. The episode had something of everything.
The funny parts like Pudding (I admit that this was OTT, but it cracks me up anyway), the elephant books, Sam being kite-high pinching Deans nose and in Martins room when Martin says "the monster!".
Dean vs. therapist was also great. I personally don't believe that he made her up, I think that only the third encounter was imaginary, because on the first day (when he met her) everything was still OK and the delusions started on day two, and I think in this very scene when Dean is watching the mirror and sees the Wraith. It is also the day when Sammy is unable to control his anger for the first time. So, concerning that Deans therapy session was for real, we learned a lot of disturbing facts about the guy. No sleep and still that lot of alcohol? Doesn't sound like the nightmares are gone.
The things set loose by the nurse was the anger in Sammy and Deans fear of being unable to trust the thing he is seeing. This makes his breakdown in the end understandable, because he learns that he can't trust himself anymore. I didn't find this over the top. What a little disturbing was, was that delusional Dean was so funny. Didn't really fit to the seriousness of what was going on, but, well...
The end of course prepared a plothole. I don't really think that we won't see the stuff the boys had to leave behind any more (like their clothes and Sams watch).
