+ | [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] visit a pawn shop looking for the skull of Sarah Good. The owner, Terry, shows them his store of supernatural goods, including dragon's breath. When Terry takes out Sarah Good's skull, the Winchesters reveal that a hunter named Bart Kemp was murdered for it. Terry takes the perfume bottle of dragon's fire and uses it to spray a large flame at the Winchesters, but Sam manages to shoot him. Sam and Dean decide to take the dragon's breath, along with everything else in Terry's shop, back to the Bunker. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Outside the Lebanon Vista movie theater, a group of teenagers share strange stories about the Winchesters. [[Stacy]] tells [[Max_(Lebanon)|Max]] she will see her later at "the thing." Before leaving, Stacy remarks that whoever the Winchesters are, they have an awesome car, which gives Max the idea to steal the [[Impala]] in an attempt to impress her. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sam and Dean are in the liquor store when they see the Impala being stolen. They quiz the woman at the post office, who directs them to the diner where Stacy's mother Caitlin works. At the diner, the cook tells the boys about a house on Route 36 where the local kids go to party. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The kids at the party house go through the items they found in the Impala. From an old cigar box, the ghost of [[John Wayne Gacy]] emerges and terrorizes a teen boy named Ethan, attacking him in the bathroom, which sends Ethan quickly running out the house. When a girl, Bea, chases after Ethan, she alerts Sam and Dean as to what happened. When Sam and Dean go inside the house, Sam quickly notices Gacy's cigar box and gets to work trying to burn it. Just as Gacy manifests before Dean, Sam is able to set the box aflame as [[Eliot]], Max, and Stacy rush into the house to witness Gacy's spirit burn away. Sam and Dean explain to the kids that monsters and ghosts are real, but that they cannot tell anyone. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the Bunker, Sam has identified the [[Baozhu]] -- a pearl with the power to grant wishes by giving a person their heart's desire -- among the items confiscated from the pawn shop. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dean wishes on the Baozhu in the hope of ridding Michael from his mind. A figure appears and attacks them and is revealed to be their father -- [[John Winchester]] -- from 2003. They talk about everything that's happened since his death: how they saved the world multiple times, discovered the truth about the [[Men of Letters]] from their grandfather, and live in the [[Bunker]] with [[Castiel]] and [[Jack]]. [[Mary]] returns and they reunite for the first time since her death in 1983. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sam is concerned about what ramifications John's return will have, while Dean just wants to spend time together and have a family dinner. While he looks through the lore books, John talks with Sam about their fight the night Sam left for Stanford. Sam tells John that while he thinks about him a lot, he never thinks about their fights. Sam felt bad about how he never got to say goodbye before finding John on the floor in the hospital. Sam acknowledges that John did the best he could for them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sam agrees to go with Dean into Lebanon to buy ingredients for dinner. Strangely, people they know in the town don't recognize them. Then they see an FBI "Most Wanted" poster for Dean, and find an online video that shows Sam is an [[TED_Talk_Sam|internet-famous corporate lawyer]] who espouses kale and says he has no time for family. They theorize this is the effect of removing John from the timeline in 2003. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Meanwhile, [[Zachariah]] and Castiel from 2003 appear in the diner and interrogate the teenagers and Caitlin to find out who is meddling with time. Sam and Dean arrive, allowing the townspeople to escape. Castiel doesn't recognize Sam and Dean, and attacks them. Sam manages to kill Zachariah and uses the banishing sigil to send Castiel away. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Back at the Bunker, Dean explains to John the consequences of his presence, including that Mary would never have been brought back from the dead. John agrees he needs to return to the past. He also tells Dean that he never meant for his sons to have to live the hunter life, as it was supposed to end between the yellow-eyed demon and him. He wanted Dean to have a normal life and have a family of his own, but Dean asserts that he has a family. After sharing their first meal as a family, they gather around for one last tearful goodbye. As John holds Mary's hand, Sam smashes the Baozhu, sending John back to 2003. As a result, everything goes back to normal. The wanted poster of Dean gets replaced by a poster advertising a marathon. Stacy and Max are walking down the street holding hands while Eliot is excited knowing that the Winchesters hunt monsters. Soon after, Castiel arrives at the Bunker, notices the trio's wounds, and asks what happened to them. Dean replies "Well, there's a story." | ||
+ | |||
+ | As John wakes up in the Impala back in 2003, he gets a call from Dean. He tells Dean that he had "one hell of a dream" and that he will see Dean soon. | ||

Synopsis
Sam and Dean visit a pawn shop looking for the skull of Sarah Good. The owner, Terry, shows them his store of supernatural goods, including dragon's breath. When Terry takes out Sarah Good's skull, the Winchesters reveal that a hunter named Bart Kemp was murdered for it. Terry takes the perfume bottle of dragon's fire and uses it to spray a large flame at the Winchesters, but Sam manages to shoot him. Sam and Dean decide to take the dragon's breath, along with everything else in Terry's shop, back to the Bunker.
Outside the Lebanon Vista movie theater, a group of teenagers share strange stories about the Winchesters. Stacy tells Max she will see her later at "the thing." Before leaving, Stacy remarks that whoever the Winchesters are, they have an awesome car, which gives Max the idea to steal the Impala in an attempt to impress her.
Sam and Dean are in the liquor store when they see the Impala being stolen. They quiz the woman at the post office, who directs them to the diner where Stacy's mother Caitlin works. At the diner, the cook tells the boys about a house on Route 36 where the local kids go to party.
The kids at the party house go through the items they found in the Impala. From an old cigar box, the ghost of John Wayne Gacy emerges and terrorizes a teen boy named Ethan, attacking him in the bathroom, which sends Ethan quickly running out the house. When a girl, Bea, chases after Ethan, she alerts Sam and Dean as to what happened. When Sam and Dean go inside the house, Sam quickly notices Gacy's cigar box and gets to work trying to burn it. Just as Gacy manifests before Dean, Sam is able to set the box aflame as Eliot, Max, and Stacy rush into the house to witness Gacy's spirit burn away. Sam and Dean explain to the kids that monsters and ghosts are real, but that they cannot tell anyone.
At the Bunker, Sam has identified the Baozhu -- a pearl with the power to grant wishes by giving a person their heart's desire -- among the items confiscated from the pawn shop.
Dean wishes on the Baozhu in the hope of ridding Michael from his mind. A figure appears and attacks them and is revealed to be their father -- John Winchester -- from 2003. They talk about everything that's happened since his death: how they saved the world multiple times, discovered the truth about the Men of Letters from their grandfather, and live in the Bunker with Castiel and Jack. Mary returns and they reunite for the first time since her death in 1983.
Sam is concerned about what ramifications John's return will have, while Dean just wants to spend time together and have a family dinner. While he looks through the lore books, John talks with Sam about their fight the night Sam left for Stanford. Sam tells John that while he thinks about him a lot, he never thinks about their fights. Sam felt bad about how he never got to say goodbye before finding John on the floor in the hospital. Sam acknowledges that John did the best he could for them.
Sam agrees to go with Dean into Lebanon to buy ingredients for dinner. Strangely, people they know in the town don't recognize them. Then they see an FBI "Most Wanted" poster for Dean, and find an online video that shows Sam is an internet-famous corporate lawyer who espouses kale and says he has no time for family. They theorize this is the effect of removing John from the timeline in 2003.
Meanwhile, Zachariah and Castiel from 2003 appear in the diner and interrogate the teenagers and Caitlin to find out who is meddling with time. Sam and Dean arrive, allowing the townspeople to escape. Castiel doesn't recognize Sam and Dean, and attacks them. Sam manages to kill Zachariah and uses the banishing sigil to send Castiel away.
Back at the Bunker, Dean explains to John the consequences of his presence, including that Mary would never have been brought back from the dead. John agrees he needs to return to the past. He also tells Dean that he never meant for his sons to have to live the hunter life, as it was supposed to end between the yellow-eyed demon and him. He wanted Dean to have a normal life and have a family of his own, but Dean asserts that he has a family. After sharing their first meal as a family, they gather around for one last tearful goodbye. As John holds Mary's hand, Sam smashes the Baozhu, sending John back to 2003. As a result, everything goes back to normal. The wanted poster of Dean gets replaced by a poster advertising a marathon. Stacy and Max are walking down the street holding hands while Eliot is excited knowing that the Winchesters hunt monsters. Soon after, Castiel arrives at the Bunker, notices the trio's wounds, and asks what happened to them. Dean replies "Well, there's a story."
As John wakes up in the Impala back in 2003, he gets a call from Dean. He tells Dean that he had "one hell of a dream" and that he will see Dean soon.

Quotes
Dean: And we are damn good at what we do.
Dean: More than once.
John: Sam. Son. I am so sorry.
John: What?
Dean: Well, without everything that we did -- with God, The Darkness -- she never comes back. Sam thinks that she'll just fade away.
Dean: Dad, we pulled you here.
John: No, son. My fight. It was supposed to end with me, with Yellow Eyes. But now you -- you are a grown man, and I am incredibly proud of you. I guess that I had hoped, eventually, you would... get yourself a normal life, a peaceful life, a family.
Dean: You saying you wish things would be different?
Sam: Don't you? Can you imagine -- Dad in the past, knowing then what he knows now? I... I think it would be nice.
Mary: Me too.
John: You two. You take care of each other.
Sam: We always do.
Dean: Good to see you, Dad.
John: Yeah. I am so proud of you boys. I love you both so much.
Trivia & References
- Sarah Good was one of the first three women to be accused of witchcraft and was hung along with four other women during the Salem Witch Trials.
- The Chrysaor was the golden sword of Sir Artegal in Edmund Spenser's epic poem The Faerie Queene.
- A reference to the trope of Evil Gloating, or monologing, in which the villain indulges in a long speech that often either reveals their plan or allows the hero time to escape or fight back. In this scene it may also be a call back to the scene in the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indiana Jones is confronted by a sword-wielding assassin, whom Indiana just shoots.
Dean: So we're talkin', like, 31 Flavors of weird, huh?
- A pervasive occult belief is that a hangman's noose has mystical abilities, such as healing various ailments.
- John Wayne Gacy was a real serial killer who became known as the "Killer Clown" due to his dressing as the character Pogo the Clown for children's parties. He was executed at Stateville Correctional Center on May 10, 1994. He was reportedly cremated which is why his ghost is tied to the old cigar box. Incidentally, Gacy was indirectly referenced by Dean in 2.05 Simon Said after seeing Andy's van. He also asked Martin Creaser if his clown drawings were "original Gacy's" in 5.11 Sam, Interrupted.
- "31 Flavors" is a nickname for Baskin-Robbins, who are known for their 31 flavors slogan.
- The hunter Jules is named after the Managing Editor of the Supernatural Wiki, Jules Wilkinson, who, along with her crew, is rather fond of cataloging aka maintaining the SuperWiki. The character Jules also appeared in 14.03 The Scar.
- The Baozhu is one of the Eight Treasures or Eight Precious Things. The wish-granting pearl or flaming pearl symbolizes the granting of wishes.
- TED Talks are short presentations people can make that cover any topics, which are posted online for free distribution.
Sam: No, I don't think so. I think it's a temporal paradox. We pulled Dad here from 2003, right? So time is self-correcting. Our timeline is changing to this new one.
- A temporal paradox, is a time-traveling principle, specifically the "grandfather paradox", where something that is changed in the past will affect the future.
Castiel: I don't understand that reference.
- This is a reference to the famous comic book character John Constantine. Castiel's outfit -- a rumpled suit and tie and trench coat -- are based off of Constantine's long-standing look.
- Castiel also said that line in 5.13 The Song Remains the Same. Gadreel said a variation of it in 9.23 Do You Believe in Miracles?
- Back to the Future is a trilogy of movies from the 1980's about a young man who goes on a series of adventures in a time traveling DeLorean, altering history due to his actions for both the better and the worse.
- "Speak, Ubu, speak" is a reference to the vanity card for production company Ubu Productions which would speak the phrase "Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog." at the end of the programs they produced.
Minutiae
- It has previously been established that Sam is fascinated with serial killers and has a paralyzing fear of clowns.
Dean: A few times. Actually, uh, our grandfather, your dad -- he's the one that helped us find this place. I think he'd be real happy to know you're finally here.
- Sam and Dean have time traveled in 4.03 In the Beginning, 5.13 The Song Remains the Same, 6.18 Frontierland, 7.12 Time After Time, and 11.14 The Vessel. In 8.12 As Time Goes By, Henry Winchester had fled through time from 1958 to escape the grasp of the Knight of Hell, Abaddon, who later killed him in 2013. Henry was a member of the Men of Letters, who tells Dean he intended to induct John into the order when he was old enough. Henry gave the boys the Box which contained the key and they located the Bunker with the help of Larry Ganem.
John: It's good. It's fine. I-I went out takin' out Yellow Eyes. I mean, that was the point, right? I mean, get the thing that killed Mom.
- The Winchesters' referred to Azazel as "The Demon," "The Yellow-Eyed Demon" or "Yellow Eyes." His name -- Azazel -- was only revealed by the demon Casey to Dean after John's death in 3.04 Sin City, however John knew to use the Sigil of Azazel to summon the demon, hinting that he knew of Azazel's name. While John was aware of the Princes of Hell, as noted in his journal, it is not known if he was aware that Azazel was one of them.
