Creepy dolls, yes, but also some meta goodness. When you have a dollhouse that’s an exact replica of the big house, and everything that happens in reality also happens in the dollhouse, you get a tidy metaphor for the concept of “as above, so below” that the show leans on completely in later seasons. “Smashing toys” here might be literal, but... it’s like the whole plot of the cosmic nonsense from Chuck, the archangels, right on down the line.
Plus Dean must confront the fact that people might think he’s queer, and mostly he just feels uncomfortable at being seen. (summed up nicely in this post from mid s10, to which I would only add that this was before Dean essentially completely opened up to Cas, since this post describes it as Cas being “sort of” allowed to be intimate with Dean, and that intimacy effectively explodes in following seasons).
Plus Dean is hammered over the head with the awful promise that John extracted from him before dying, and which has slowly been grinding him down all season long. Sam effectively grabs that bit of sandpaper and replaces it with an industrial belt sander (warning for folks who adore Sam, since I love him too... I am... not fond of him in this episode lol... even less so in the next one...).
But I did manage to keep this one pretty close to an hour! Yay me!
