* HomoeroticSubtext:
** Crowley makes copious inuendos about both Sam and Dean.
** Tara's reaction to Dean showing up with a Demon is also laden with innuendo. She calls Dean pretty and makes it clear how disgusted John Winchester would be to see Dean ''working'' with Crowley.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Cain}}: Winchester brothers found Cain, who owns the "First Blade", a magical sword who kills Abbadon (the Big Bad then). Here, Cain explains to Dean about why he killed Abel in the first place: he wasn't talking to God, he was talking to Lucifer. To save his brother, Cain made a deal: his soul in Hell in exchange for Abel's in Heaven. Lucifer agreed if Cain killed Abel himself. Cain did with the First Blade and was transformed into the first Knight of Hell and trained the rest.
