Quotes
Jack: Dean I need to do something, you don't understand. I could have killed Michael. Here, when I was strong enough I could have. But there was so much going on, and then everything else happened and I was distracted and stupid and --
Dean: Hey. You didn't do anything wrong.
Jack: What's courting?
Dean: It's what you do before you start dating.
Jack: Oh, that's the thing you do before the sex.
Charlie: Sam, before all this. I was just a programmer at Richard Roman Enterprises. I lived with the love of my life and we --
Sam: Wait, you -- you did?
Charlie: Yeah. So, your Charlie she... I guess she never met Cara.
Charlie: Cara?
Sam: Oh, good. Our perp might just be a giant fly with low self-esteem.
Dean: Look, I promise you that Harper Sayles is not in love with you, okay. Would you calm down.
Jack: Okay, but if she is, I need to know everything about sex. Go.
Jack: Okay, but if she is, I need to know everything about sex. Go.
Trivia & References
Dean uses the aliases "Agent Berry" and "Agent Charles" for himself and Jack, a reference to rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry whom also had a son named Charles Berry, Jr.
Dean: You know, you're gonna want to be a little more helpful than that.
Waitress: Listen deep state, flashing a badge may work on people who don't have a working knowledge of the Constitution, but that ain't me. Now I gotta go earn some money.
Dean: Well, congrats Mighty Mouse, I think you found us a case.
Minutiae
The episode was originally known as "Curious Cravings".
Maddie Phillips, who played Harper Sayles, previous played Janet Novoselic in 10.13 Halt & Catch Fire.
David Quinlan, who played Diner Man, previous played Nate Mulligan in 2.17 Heart.
Jack tells Dean since losing his powers food and drinks taste different for him. In 9.11 First Born Castiel revealed to Sam that his taste buds changed during his stint as a human, and as an angel he can taste each individual molecule of a PB & J sandwich.
Jack uses the phrase "Christo" to test if Harper Sayles is possessed. This is the first time since 1.04 Phantom Traveler that this method of demon testing has been used on the show. The lack of its use since season one has long been a bugbear of fandom.
In the euphemistically named "Dick's Red Rooster Diner," after Jack asks about sex, Dean pushes the rooster (aka cock) next to him to face in another direction.
Apocalypse World Charlie reveals to Sam, much like her counterpart, she worked as a programmer for Richard Roman Enterprises. Unlike Sam and Dean's version of Charlie, this Charlie lived with the "love of her life" Cara, who worked as a baker in Chicago, who died in the early days of the Apocalypse.
Charlie reveals to Sam how Apocalypse World came to be, detailing how when Michael and Lucifer fought, an EMP type of blast occurred over North America, frying all technology and power plants.
Dean gets pie in this episode along with Jack and gets to eat it too.
Charlie: Who wants to be a hunter? This job, just a lot of tears and death.
Sam: Funny, you said something like that to me once long ago about hunting. Uh, not you, sorry, our Charlie.
- In 10.18 Book of the Damned, Charlie tells Sam:
- "Brothers. You know, I haven’t been a hunter for very long, but it feels like this is the life. Mostly ends in Sophie’s choices, death, or tears. Usually, all of the above, huh? How did this become my life? I mean, I was gonna own my own start-up, marry ScarJo, invent something cool. Now I’m just….I’m just happy to be alive."
Dean remarks that Jack finally gets to hunt a zombie, something he was excited about doing in 13.06 Tombstone, before learning Dave Mather was a ghoul.
