"Teach Your Children Well" is a lyric in the song "Teach Your Children", released in 1969 by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Barry: My thirds eye is open after todays circle. I can see everything.
Barry: We’re like dolls -- y’know, the Russian ones? Trapped inside our parents, and our parents’ parents...
- Russian dolls – also known as Matryoshka or nesting dolls – are a Russian toy dating from1890. They feature a series of hollow wooden dolls which each fit inside the larger one. Traditionally they are styled as Russian peasants, although today they are decorated in range of characters – including those from Supernatural.
John: You cant be serious. I’m Mick Fleetwood?
Mary: Well its nice to meet you Mick, I’m Christine McVie. Come on. Now how about you “show me a smile”.
John: You really want me to “lay it all down”?
Mary: Now, you’re in character. Let’s go.
- John and Mary use the aliases Mick Fleetwood and Christine McVie who are members of the band Fleetwood Mac. Sam and Dean always used male members of rock bands as their Aliases, while Castiel preferred female pop stars.
- “Show me a Smile” and “Lay it All Down" are both songs from Fleetwood Mac's 1971 Future Games album.
Minutiae
The plot of the episode in many ways mirrors 1.02 Wendigo, the second episode of Supernatural in that in both episodes people follow clues left by their missing parent (John/Samuel) that lead to a hunting job.
Clyde's necklace, as identified by Lata was a Triskelion. The three interlocking spirals can be traced back to Neolithic times, including the famous Newgrange tomb in Ireland built around 3200 BCE. Its name comes the greek "Trisekis" meaning three legs, and while it has many meaning it is, as is stated in the episode associated with cycles and change and transformation.
The two bands featured in this episode - Fleetwood Mac and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - often had tensions and break-ups (both personal and professional) which are mirrored in Mary's relationships with her friend in the episode.
