Quotes
Donna: Just wondering if you've run out of ways to ask me how I'm doing, so as to avoid me repaying the favor. I know you were just possessed, again. Sam. He had us all out looking for you. And I know you got an archangel hitching a ride up there in your noggin. Also Sam.
Dean: What does he have a freakin' newsletter?
Donna: I'm just saying, all that, it can't be easy, you know?
Mary: You know, if you wanted to make it a full reunion, we could call Sam over.
Dean: Yeah, you know, I was thinking I'd actually be a little bit greedy with my Mom time, if that's cool.
Dean: Yeah, you know, I was thinking I'd actually be a little bit greedy with my Mom time, if that's cool.
Dean: He comes back, he's standing there, he's soaking wet, and He's pulling bologna and sliced cheese out of his pants. So, me being the big brother, I'm the cook. I take all that bologna all, all that sliced cheese, and I put onto a hot plate.
Mary: No.
Mary: Oh. Sometimes I forget just how much I missed while I was gone and how much the two of you just...
Dean: But you're here now, right? and even the last couple of years have been a little rough, just knowing that you're around, that you're alive... Mom, that's meant everything to me. And everything to Sam. And how great is this, hm? You and me sitting here, eating the real thing, not some bologna version of Winchester Surprise. You know, we're not fighting any monsters.There's -- there's no clouds on the horizon.

And everything to Sam. And how great is this, hm? You and me sitting here, eating the real thing, not some bologna version of Winchester Surprise. You know, we're not fighting any monsters.There's -- there's no clouds on the horizon.
Mary: Dean? Whatever you're going through, you can talk to me.
Dean: Everybody keeps asking how I am, and how I am is I don't wanna talk about it. Please.
Dean: Everybody keeps asking how I am, and how I am is I don't wanna talk about it. Please.
Sam: It's not about being dumb, Dean. It's called compassion. Look, what happened to Nick could've happened to me. It almost happened to me. You change one little thing in our past, and that was me. Lucifer wearing me to the prom. And besides, since when do we give up on people? Since when do we just cut people loose?
Dean: Well, maybe you need to learn, okay? 'Cause when people are past the point of saving, maybe you need to learn to walk away.
Dean: Well, maybe you need to learn, okay? 'Cause when people are past the point of saving, maybe you need to learn to walk away.
Abraxas: You wanna know why I gutted your family? Orders. I was following orders.
Nick: From who?
Abraxas: Who do you think? Lucifer planned the whole thing.
Nick: I don't -- I don't understand. Why my family? Why -- why me?
Sam: Why?
Nick: I needed the truth, Sam. I needed revenge for my family. You would've done the same thing.
Nick: I needed the truth, Sam. I needed revenge for my family. You would've done the same thing.
Sam: I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I'm sorry I didn't know how.
Nick: It's not about you, Sam. It was never about you. You couldn't fix me 'cause I didn't want to be fixed. I was never broken.
Sam: So... you came out here to see Donna, to see Mom on some -- some what? Some sick, secret farewell tour? You were gonna leave and, you weren't even gonna tell me. Me. Do you realize how messed up that is, how unfair that is?
Dean: I didn't have a choice! Sam, you're the last person I could tell, the last person I could be around, 'cause you're the only person that could've talk me out of it. And I won't be talked out of it. I won't. I'm doing this. Now, you could either let me do it alone... or you can help me. But I'm doing this.
Trivia & References
The books Dean takes from the Bunker include Fallen Angels and Historia Achengeli by Maria Prophetissima. Maria Prophetissima, also known as Mary the Jewess and Mary the Prophetess, was an alchemist that many consider to be the first true alchemist of the Western world.
Dean: What you reading?
Sam: Uh, going back through the Book of Jubilees. You know, the way they classify angels is -- is -- it's really interesting.
- The Book of Jubilees is an ancient Jewish text, not considered canon by most churches. The book classifies angels into four groups: angels of the presence, angels of sanctifications, guardian angels over individuals, and angels presiding over the phenomena of nature. It also covers the genesis of angels and the rise of the Nephilim.
The Enochian puzzle box that holds Abraxas is reminiscent of the puzzle box that appears in the Hellraiser film series. That puzzle box, however, opens a doorway to Hell to bring forth the Cenobites.
Dean: It's a Ma'lak Box. Secured and warded. Once inside... nothing gets out, not even an archangel. Especially an archangel.
- Ma'lak is the Semitic word for "angel."
Minutiae
Doug Stover is stated to have left the police force and is working private security in Duluth. Donna Hanscum has continued to help training Jody Mills' adopted family, and Alex Jones is stated to have killed two vetala all by herself.
In this episode, Donna appears to be the sheriff of Hibbing, Minnesota. In previous appearances, Donna was the sheriff of Stillwater and later Larsen County due to budget cuts extending her jurisdiction. Donna was previously stated to originally be from Hibbing which previously appeared in 1.15 The Benders and 10.08 Hibbing 911. In the latter episode the sheriff was Sheriff Len Cuse who was also a vampire.
According to the writer Davy Perez, the ingredients to the "Winchester Surprise" were named in the episode, but edited out. Samantha Smith tweeted the recipe to "Winchester Surprise" as:
3 lbs pork
3 lbs beef
3 lbs american cheese
Fritos to garnish
🤢
Plus, if you’re Dean (or @JensenAckles), a gallon of hot sauce.
As Mary goes shopping for the ingredients for Winchester Surprise, Mary promises to get pie for Dean. She returns with an apple pie, but they do not get around to eating it.
As evidenced by the posters in Donna's shed, muscle men with mustaches appear to be her type.
The Deer's head appears in Donna's cabin.
Donna states that Nick's stolen van belongs to an 80-year-old lady in Missoula, Montana. Missoula is where the Winchesters tracked the Alpha Vampire to in order to get his blood in 7.22 There Will Be Blood.
Nick is shown to be wanted for his murder spree, as discovered by Donna Hanscum when she runs his fingerprints. Though Donna presumably learns his full name, it is neither shown nor mentioned, with Donna simply calling him "some guy named Nick."
Like other hunters, including Bobby and John, Mary Winchester has her own lock-up. It has a booby trap like John's Lock-up was seen to have in 3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock. The combination to the lock on the door is Dean's birthday, 1-24-79. Some of the items that can be seen in the warded lockers include a severed head in a jar, a doll, and an Enochian puzzle box.
When Abraxas is freed from the Enochian puzzle box, the demon smoke can be seen hitting an invisible barrier due to having been released inside a devil's trap.
With Nick's arrest at he end of the episode, the death toll during his pursuit for revenge comes to five people and two demons. In addition to murder, Nick's crimes included: kidnapping, torture, breaking and entering, grand theft auto, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.
Dean: Sam, you've tried. Cas has tried. Jack... And I love you for trying.
- This is the first episode where a Winchester brother directly tells the other they love them. Dean previously told Mary he loves her directly in 12.22 Who We Are.
