And here we finally get an episode that gets right to the heart of Dean's fears. He's just trying so hard to be a Good Brother. To respect Sam's wishes, to let him make his own decisions about his life, and not only does Sam STILL think Dean is being judgmental and controlling when he tries to save Sam from what is very obviously a terrible situation from the outside, Sam resents him for it the entire time (well, until he snaps out of the love potion spell anyway...)
It's a very specific (and really skeevy) way to show us in small scale how Dean is feeling about Sam and his larger season issues about the Hallucifering, and being concerned that Sam really doesn't have as much agency in all of this as he's trying to convince Dean that he does. Because boy is Sam making some weak choices...
Plus, who can really hate Guy the demon?
I mean, thank heck Dabb gets to bring Becky back in s15 for some redemption after this one, but this one also highlights just how much Chuck's hand is stuck to everything in the story. Always good to keep that in mind during a rewatch.

My rewatch notes from July 2019 (if you only read one thing, etc. etc.)
Lizbob’s excellent meta about Book Fandom vs Show Fandom
Because I can, even if I think I linked this one way back in 1.04, have a fic where I bring back Guy the demon for a short bit… The Terminal Job (24k words, rated M, case fic, destiel)
