!Last Holiday

Written by: Jeremy Adams

Directed by: Eduardo Sanchez

Air date: October 8, 2020

While doing a check-up on the Men of Letters' bunker, Sam and Dean accidentally release a wood nymph who reveals that she used to oversee the bunker's upkeep years ago. The nymph is determined to protect her family at all costs.

!!Tropes
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Mrs. Butters seems like a sweet, doting grandmother who watches over everyone's wellbeing, and then Jack discovers a video revealing that she was formerly kept by the Thule Society and when she was released by the Men of Letters, she killed over two hundred Nazis, including one she decapitated onscreen. Mrs. Butters really is sweet, but only to people she considers her family. Because Jack told her how he killed the brothers' mom, she thinks that he is a threat to Sam and Dean, whom she already considered her family, and wants him dead to keep her family safe.
* ContinuityNod: The brothers tell Mrs. Butters how Abaddon killed all of the Men of Letters in 1958, hence why they "never returned" to reset the bunker.
* {{Fingore}}: Sam has his fingernails removed by Mrs. Butters when the latter finds out that he only played her along.
* HolidayEpisode: Exaggerated. Sam, Dean, and Jack celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even Sam's and Jack's birthdays, all in the same episode.
* ShoutOut: Dean calls a berserk Mrs. Butters both "[[Literature/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest Nurse Ratched]]" and "evil Literature/MaryPoppins".
* ThoseWackyNazis: The video that Jack found revealed that Mrs. Butters was formerly a property of the Thule Society.
* WrittenInAbsence: It is revealed that Eileen still keeps in touch with the brothers and is currently around, though she doesn't visit the bunker. To make up for all she's been through, Sam decides that he owes her a date.
