Synopsis

Dean: Comes a time in every hunt when the fightin' starts. And the difference between winning and losing isn't whether you have the holy water, the wooden stake, or the silver bullet. It's whether you've got the grit to get the job done.

John and Mary have located the radio tower which Rockin' Roxy is using to draw in monsters so that the Akrida can harvest their essence. I a building next to the tower, Mary finds a satchel belonging to her father - covered in blood. Outside they find an Akrida possessed man locked on the trunk of a car. He tells them that the Akrida have finished using the tower and that they have all the essence they need for their queen.

At the Men of Letters Clubhouse, Carlos and Lata are still trying to get the ostium to work. Ada returns with files she found at another Men of Letters office in Ann Arbor, hoping they may help.

Quotes

Latika: I knew we were nerds of a feather.

Hector: I'm just a worker bee, hon. They don't tell us everything. I was left here to give you a simple message. Our work here at the tower is done. We have everything we need. All that sweet, sweet monster essence is in our hands now.

Mary: If Dad is still alive, he doesn't have much time. There was a lot of blood, Losi, and not just on this bag.

Carlos: Okay. I need you to do me a favor. I need you to reach under the seat with an open mind and take the little baggie that's under there and hide it. I don't care where.

John: Dad got it for me when I was a kid. I used to listen to the song it played every night before bed. "As Time Goes By."
Millie: It was our song.

Mary: Remember, these are innocent people we're fighting, so you have to use demon possession rules.

Akrida: We're going to make you strong again. And then you'll bring the others. And we can make this world our own... My queen.

Trivia & References

"Reflections" is the title of a 1968 album by The Supremes.

Roxy: There is a phone booth on Halstead and Maple. That phone is gonna ring at 10:00 p.m. tonight on the dot.

Mary: You can cast that spell?

Carlos: Of course not. But our sweet little Samantha Stevens, Ada, can.

Carlos: And by the time we get through all this, Tricky Dick will be in his second term.

Minutiae

Outside of Jensen Ackles' appearance in 1.01 Pilot (The Winchesters), this episode marks the first where an actor reprises their role from Supernatural with Gil McKinney's appearance as Henry Winchester.

The music box John produces was given to him by Henry and plays "As Time Goes By". The music box was last seen in 8.12 As Time Goes By, where Henry also mentioned getting the music box for John to Sam and Dean.

Ada Munroe uses the Latin "excresco" in her locator spell, which means "grow up".

Unlike Samuel Campbell in Season's 4 and 6 of Supernatural, Samuel in The Winchesters does not have male pattern baldness.

Mary and John's exchange of "This a normal night for you?" is a call back to the same line they used in the pilot.

This is the first time Mary and John kiss.
