Quotes
Waiter: (to Dean) You're a virile manifestation of the divine.
Museum Curator: Those two were the exception actually. The Campbells? Got along famously. Of course that was just a stage name...they weren't actually brothers. That was a cover for their alternative lifestyle.
Museum Curator: (to Dean) I'm sorry I don't normally do this during business hours, but do you know an Eleanor or an Ellen? She seems quite concerned about you. She wants to tell you, pardon me, if you don't tell someone how bad it really is? She'll kick your ass from beyond. You have to trust someone again, eventually.
Sam: He broke my spoon.
Trivia & References
The Mentalists refers to mentalism - the practice of performing what are purported to be psychic acts on stage.
The title is also likely a nod to the CBS series The Mentalist, about a former con man "psychic" who uses his experience to aid police.
The episode is set in a real town – Lily Dale, New York. The town has been the centre for the practice of the Spiritualist religion since the late 19th century, and is reputed to have the highest number of psychics and mediums per capita in the US. Every summer its workshops and festivals attract thousands of visitors.
At the start of the episode Dean has takeout from Fat Mack's Bar-B-Q Rib Shack. Crowley met Sam and Dean at a Fat Mack's in 6.08 All Dogs Go To Heaven
In the Lily Dale Museum there is a poster for the Trocadero Vaudilles which is an actual poster from 1894 advertising a show featuring a strongman (Sandow) and an aerial act produced by Florenz Ziegfeld who became famous for the Ziegfeld Follies.
Dean: When was the last time we saw a real psychic? Pamela? Missouri?
Missouri was the psychic who first told John Winchester about the existence of the supernatural, and later helped the boys in 1.09 Home.
The last line Forget it, Sam. It's Lily Dale is a shoutout to the movie Chinatown which ends with the line Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.
The scene with Camille Thibideaux and her seance recalls the Whoopi Goldberg character Oda Mae brown from the 1990 Ghost
As tweeted by E.P. Jim Michaels "The car Sam gets into outside the class is Kevin Parks actual car. When Jared found out, he accidentally broke the door...The door wouldn't open so Jared climbed through the driver side window... That should make the gag reel..."
At Jensen's suggestion, the salt used in the scene where Margaret Fox is attacking Melanie and Dean, was bottled into jars with labels designed by the Art department and auctioned for charity at Salute to Supernatural Toronto 2011 and Salute to Supernatural Chicago 2011
