Storified live tweets from the cast and crew during the episode.

Sam: He’s a skinny, Ichabod Crane-looking kind of guy.

Icabod Crane is a character Irving Washington's 1820 story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, who is described a school teacher who is described as being very thin. This shoutout is a particular reference to the FOX TV series Sleepy Hollow. Orlando Jones one of the stars of the series often live-tweets during Supernatural and he and Supernatural writer Robbie Thompson have talked about writing a crossover series called SuperSleepy.

Dean: Anything on Gadreel?

Sam: Actually, yeah. Turns out he left some grace in me before he bolted.
Dean: You know how wrong that sounds, right?
Sam: Wouldn't worry about it, Cas took care of it.
Dean: I've been gone for two weeks and it feels like an episode of Teen Mom!

Teen Mom was a reality TV series which followed teenaged mothers.

Minutiae

Sam is driving a blue 1972 Dodge Dart. Perhaps a Swinger.
