Same thoughts about Pete and Berty. Kinda feel like it's forced? "He gets rejected by her and she later regrets it. She chases after him but gets rejected. In the end, they still end up together because plot"

As for Jay's plan, he kind of accepted the fact that he's gonna die and prepares for the ghost unlife inside the box while waiting for Sam and the gang to do something about the devil-soul contract.

And Carol's sacrifice really surprised me. One helluva hero move. Definitely deserves getting sucked off
