Dean: Snakes for hair? That's like Medusa.
Rowena: You know about Medusa?
Dean: Oh, yeah. Clash of the Titans? Turns guys to stone?
- In Greek mythology a gorgon was a creature whose gaze could turn a person to stone.

Dean has possibly seen both the 1981 version of the movie and the 2010 version.
Dean and Cas use the aliases Page and Jones for their FBI covers, referring to Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin.
The dog Rowena transforms jack into is a Brussels Griffon breed.
