This episode had an unusual structure.  Up until the final segment, it was essentially a simple and straightforward horror tale, and one that was fairly average at the end of the day.  The final segment, however, took a right turn into the season arc, opening up more interesting avenues for future exploration.

The Brothers Grimm aspect was a throwback to the first season, when most of the material derived from urban legend and folklore.  That’s not necessarily a bad thing, given how well the writers handle most of the concepts, but there were very few surprises.  The episode gave just enough time to the idea to let a few scenarios play out, and then the source was discovered, and it was resolved, with nary a complication or twist in sight.

I, for one, would like to see what happens to this episode's "Big Bad Wolf". Here's a guy who committed murders while under "demonic" influences.There was also the Hansel &Gretel "witch". What happens to these people? I, for one, would like to know. They could possibly become potential allies for the Winchesters. Also how do the police handle them- are they considered non-guilty by reason of temporary insanity or what ?
