I liked this episode a lot, for many of the reasons you mentioned. And I hope this is leading into some more good stuff for Dean later in the season, because that whole conversation between him and Jo makes me... hopeful, as well as a little sad.
People, Osiris says, want to be judged. And I don't even know where to begin with that statement.
This jumped out at me, too. I think he's right--at least in the sense that most of us, while we say we want not to be judged, would love to have firm boundaries, to know where the lines are. Like Don in N3: when his boss asks him which side of line he's on, Don can only say, "If someone could show me where it is, I could tell you."

Food for thought.
