Marie: Oh, uh they're rehearsing the "BM" scene.
Dean: The bowel movement scene?
Marie: No, the boy melodrama scene... You know the scene where the boys get together and their driving or leaning against Baby, drinking a beer, sharing their feelings. The two of them alone, but together -- bonded, united, the power of their pain is-
Dean: Why are they standing so close together?

Maeve: I thought you didn't believe in this interpretation.

- It was first mentioned by Dean in 1.16 Shadow that Sam had appeared in a school production of the play Our Town.

- In fandom, when two people/characters are paired together in a relationship in fan works, or in a canonical relationship, it's customary to form a portmanteau out of their names.

The pairing of Sam and Castiel is known as Sastiel or Sassy.

Sam and Dean: Me too.
- Supernatural has featured a number of Meta Episodes most famously 5.08 Changing Channels and 6.15 The French Mistake, in which Sam and Dean have not fared well.
"Mary": Actually, I was hoping we'd do Wicked.
Dean: Yeah, that would have been easier.
- Wicked is a musical based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which is an alternate telling of The Wizard of Oz, essentially a transformative work.

- This exchange of dialogue before the song "I'll Just Wait Here Then" also occurs between Dean and Castiel in the episode 5.04 The End.
The actress in the musical doesn't want to wear the amulet as she says it keeps hitting her lip. This is what Jensen said in Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 5
- "The thing was heavy... it's a solid piece of brass. I would forget to change it out with the rubberized one every now and again when I was doing stunts and I've lost chips of my teeth from the horns hitting my mouth. After four seasons of wearing it around my neck I was glad to get rid of it."
Minutiae
