Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough the Winchesters know James from a previous case, James Frampton never appeared in a previous episode.
- GoofsThis episode is set in "East St. Louis" and not St. Louis according to the opening descriptor. East St. Louis is located in the State of Illinois while St. Louis is located in the State of Missouri. The states are separated by a major river. While the boys are supposed to meet their witch cop friend in his precinct in East St. Louis, the station has a few references to the State of Missouri instead of the State of Illinois. For example, the Missouri state flag is on the outside of the station, not the Illinois flag.
- Quotes
Sam Winchester: [Talking about what he thinks is a stray dog that wandered into their motel room] Okay. Before you get pissed off, look, I-I just want you to know this isn't my fault. She just showed up at the door, okay? Didn't track in any mud. Just wanted her belly scratched. I-I figured maybe she could stay tonight, and we'd try and find her a home tomorrow.
[Opens door, the "dog" has turned into a beautiful woman]
Dean Winchester: ...She can stay the night.

While Sam was trying to explain the dog in the room by telling his older brother to listen before getting angry, Dean's reaction when he saw a beautiful lady instead of a dog was very funny.
The Winchester brothers are doing an interesting astral travel with the male witch. Even though some characters are given too much space within the plot, there are still enjoyable dialogues.
In this episode, Dean is worried that his brother will not pass the difficult exams. Sam, on the other hand, thinks that his older brother does not trust him. They realize that the only way to be successful is to face challenges together.
