'''[[12.22 Who We Are]]'''<br>
'''[[13.05 Advanced Thanatology]]'''<br>
Write [[Steve Yockey]] breaks his streak by not including the name of a episode-contained character in the title of this episode.

'''[[13.08 The Scorpion and the Frog]]'''<br>
And ancient fable, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog The Scorpion and the Frog] tells the story of a frog that's asked by a scorpion to ride on its back across the river.

'''[[13.09 The Bad Place]]'''<br>

'''[[13.12 Various & Sundry Villains]]'''<br>
"Sundry" means various, particularly small and not fit to be mentioned individually. As writer [[Steve Yockey]] has a history of giving exactly those type of characters their own name in the episode title, it stands out here that this time he chose not to do so, most likely because while he did create his own self-contained characters of the Plum sister witches, in this episode he is also writing two much larger, recurring villains for the first time: [[Lucifer]] and [[Rowena]].

A "devil's bargain" is an idiom for a deal that both parties know is wrong, but they agree to anyway because they feel they have no other option for success. In this episode, [[Sister Jo]] makes a deal with the actual devil [[Lucifer]] to keep herself alive.

In the context of the episode, [[Asmodeus]] is attempting to get his hands on [[Gabriel]], while the Winchesters attempt to keep him safe. Or it may be a reference to the song by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audioslave_(album) Audioslave], which features lyrics that may relate to Gabriel's former plight: "I was on my way to the center of the sun/ When I lost my wings and I fell into a crowd/ And they carried me to a hole in the ground/ And they buried me where no one could see."

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello,_I%27m_Johnny_Cash A song by Johnny Cash] as well as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_the_Devil_(film) 1953 film], "Beat the Devil" is taken literally here, as it often is with Supernatural titles, to mean the actual devil, [[Lucifer]].
'''[[13.22 Exodus]]'''<br>
