|Synopsis=
[[Sam]] and [[Dean]] are worried about [[Bobby]], as he struggles with his grief over [[Rufus]]' death. Sam finds a series of unusual deaths among related people in Pennsylvania, but Bobby isn't interested and tells them to leave him alone. As they pack up [[Dean's Mustang]], they're worried about Bobby, but take comfort in knowing [[Ellen]] will be home soon. Ellen gets home to Bobby – she's been hunting with [[Jo]] for a week. She commiserates with Bobby over Rufus' death and fusses about his drinking. Bobby grudgingly accepts her care and Ellen teases that it's why he married her.

[[Image:Titanic ackles.jpg|right|200px]]
The episode title "My Heart Will Go On" refers to the Celine Dion song of the same name which was the theme song for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_-_Movie_1997 1997 movie ''Titanic''.]. Jensen once did an ad for ''Titanic''-related merchandise. The Titanic was also referenced visually in [[1.19 Provenance]] when a newspaper is held up showing an article they are looking for in relation to the MOTWMotW. The lead story on the same page is the sinking of the Titanic. The movie ''Titanic'' is also referenced in [[4.10 Heaven and Hell]] when Dean and Anna have sex in the [[Impala]]. The image of [[Anna]]'s hand streaking down the foggy car window is reminiscent of the iconic scene from Titanic when Jack and Rose are having sex.<br>

* Sam and Dean stay at the White Star Motel - the [http://www.titanic-whitestarships.com/History_WSL.htm White Star Line] was the name of the company that owned the Titanic.
* Sam uses a Wikipedia-like site called "Marconi Pages" named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi Guglielmo Marconi] the inventor of radio. The radio operators on the Titanic were employed by his company and were vital in relief efforts. Britain's postmaster-general later said "Those who have been saved, have been saved through one man, Mr. Marconi...and his marvelous invention."

{{TriviaQuote |Text=
The opening was very reminiscent of the opening of ''The Simpsons'' episode "[http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Mobile_Homer Mobile Homer]" where Homer gets caught under the garage door (he's drinking beer in the garage - chases a spider, gets his head covered by spiders, then sprays bug spray in his face/eyes, trips on a skateboard and falls with his leg bent at an unnatural angle under the garage door. While trying to kill a spider by throwing a magazine at it, he accidentally hits the garage door control which triggers the door to come down on his throat several times.)}}{{TriviaQuote |Text=The first of [[Atropos]]' victims is nearly killed by falling on a pair of gardening shears. This could be a reference to Atropos' "abhorred shears" which she used to cut the metaphorical threads of life in mythology.}}{{TriviaQuote |Text='''Dean:''' What, no severed horse head?<br>:''The Russos are from Calabria, an area in Southern Italy which has a mafia-like organization known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Ndrangheta Ndrangheta.].

Things that are different in the timeline where the Titanic never sank:* Obviously the movie ''Titanic'' was never made!* Dean drives a Mustang which has the original plates the [[Impala]] had -- "KAZ 2Y5" -- until [[2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be]]. A '65 Mustang was [http://www.imdbappeal-democrat.com/namearticles/nm0907134/ Katie Waldercar-58823-impala-kripke.html?orderby=TimeStampDescending&oncommentsPage=1&showRecommendedOnly=0 Kripke's original choice] who played Atropos (Fate) also appeared for Dean's car: "When I was originally writing the show I wanted to give the guys an American muscle car. My first choice was a '65 Mustang. My neighbor said it has to be a '67 Impala, because you can put a body in Gilmore Girlsthe trunk. He says, including two episodes with Jared'You want a car that, when people stop next to it at the lights, they lock their doors.'" * The Incredible Sinking LorelaisImpala line of cars was not produced.* [[Ellen]] and [[Jo]] are alive.* Ellen and [[Bobby]] are married and [[Singer Salvage Yard]] is called B & E Scrap Yard. Bobby's house appears neater than usual.* Jo leads a team of hunters.* In [[2.17 Heart]] we learned that Sam knew Dean always played 'scissors' when they did [[Rock, Paper, Scissors]], so Sam always won. Here Sam loses, although Dean still throws scissors.* In the travel agency, we see Cuba is a resort island destination – "America's favorite holiday destination" – and Detroit was voted "America's top city."* Celine Dion is a "destitute lounge singer somewhere in Quebec." * Cas transports Sam and Dean to "White Russia."Last Week Fights, This Week Tights"is an old term for Belarus and may be a hint that the Russian revolution of 1917 that led to the formation of the Soviet Union didn't occur.
