In the flashback scene between Mary and Cas, Mary speaks as if it is just after [[Amara]] bought her back. We only know of her taking one hunt (during the events of [[12.03 The Foundry]]), before she left the Bunker and Cas and the Winchesters to have some space for herself. Writer [[Robert Berens]] [https://twitter.com/robertberens/status/1116541055476748288 confirmed] that this was deliberate. | In the flashback scene between Mary and Cas, Mary speaks as if it is just after [[Amara]] bought her back.

[[Dumah]] does describe Mary's Heaven as a "special Heaven" and says that Mary is complete. |

While in the present Castiel continues to drive the newer, more modern truck first seen in [[14.07 Unhuman Nature]], his old truck from season 12 is seen in the flashback to his hunt with Mary.

Quotes
Jackifer: Actually, you do. So I'm gonna give you a little piece of advice, bud, how you can wiggle out of this little pickle you're in. You don't. You won't. You can't. All right? Buddy, you killed Mary Winchester. You cannot come back from that, and you know it. All right? you've been flapping your wings all around trying to run away from what you did, and where'd you wind up? Right here, right back to the scene of the crime. Yeah. Yeah, because somewhere inside, you realize that the sooner you accept it, the easier it'll be.
Mary: Maybe a little. I haven't been back that long. Angels are real. Angels are friends. Angels can heal you with a wave of a glowy hand. I -- It's all pretty new still. We should get back. Boys will be waiting.
Castiel: I know you know this, Mary, but... Sam and Dean -- they're -- they're glad to have you back. Whatever you still have to deal with and however long it takes, you should know they're happy. I mean, finally, they don't have to be so... so alone.
Dean: The snake!
Castiel: What he did wasn't bad. It was the absence of good. And I saw that in him. But we were a family, and I didn't want to lose that, so I thought I could... fix it on my own. Felt like it was my responsibility. So I left and didn't tell you. If I could go back and just -- just talk to him right then and there, I would. But I can't, Dean. I failed you. And I failed Jack. And I failed --
Mary: Sam, everyone here understands what you've been doing and what you've been putting yourself through.
Sam: Yeah, I know, but Jack's been through a lot -- you know, losing his powers. And I haven't really been there for him. Sorry Mom. I don't mean to lay all this on you.
Mary: No. Are you kidding? It's nice knowing I'm not the only one... with parental guilt. How much did the two of you go through when I wasn't there for you? And even when Amara brought me back, and I got a second chance, things got complicated. I got complicated.
Sam: Mom.
Dean: I did it, too. When I talked to Donatello about Jack, he said he was good as far as he could tell. But then he talked about how powerful Jack was and that he could never really be sure. And it was a warning. I just couldn't see it.
Jack: What?
Dean: What we always do.
