Trivia & References
The episode title is a reference to Joseph Campbell's concept of the Hero's Journey from his book The Hero of a Thousand Faces, which outlined a fundamental structure to many myths from different cultures. Creator Eric Kripke has said he was strongly influenced by this when developing the series. Tommy Collins can be seen reading The Hero of a Thousand Faces in 1.02 Wendigo.
Dean goes shopping at "Beren's Kwik Trip" which is a reference to Charlie Berens and the comedy video series Manitowoc Minute. Production Designer Jerry Wanek is a fan of the show, and is also from Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Minutiae
Jesse Hutch, who played Brad, previously played Jason / Crewcut in 9.02 Devil May Care.
Its revealed that Charlie Bradbury created a limitless credit card for the Winchesters to pay for their purchases so that they would no longer have to hustle for money. This must've been the original Charlie, as Dean says he has had the card for five years.
Garth had described in 8.06 Southern Comfort that he went to college and dental school until he killed the Tooth Fairy and that was what lead him into hunting.
