* TastesLikeChicken: After getting captured by the [[WickedWitch witch]], Dean tries to buy time for Sam to escape by asking if people taste like chicken.
-->'''Dean''': So, uh, is it worth it? I mean, word on the street is people kind of taste like chicken.\\
'''Katjia''': A bit. European [[ChildEater children]] are more, uh, free range, gamier. Americans, though -- ooh – they are heaven. (''Laughs'') Fattier. The meat, so finely marbles, it’s almost buttery. I just can’t get enough. \\
'''Dean''': Mmm. Awesome.\\
'''Katjia''': No! I am in awe. This is my first visit to your country. And I have to say God Bless the USA.

!About a Boy

Written by Adam Glass.

Directed by Serge Ladouceur.

Air Date: February 3, 2015.

In [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendleton,_Oregon Pendleton, Oregon]] a man disappears outside of a bar he'd just gotten thrown out of, a disappearance with earmarks of witchcraft. The witch who took the man also takes Dean and a woman named Tina, de-aging all three of them back to adolescence. For Dean this has the unexpected upside of erasing the Mark of Cain.
-----
!!Tropes
* AdaptationalVillainy: Hansel from ''Literature/HanselAndGretel'' turns out not to be a victim who rescued his sister but an accomplice who willingly ate her heart.
* AnalProbing: A wino who witnessed the first disappearance is hung up on the idea that it was an alien abduction, and launches into a graphic story about the same thing happening to him before Sam and Dean manage to escape.
* CastingGag: Lesley Nicole, Mrs. Patmore from ''Series/DowntonAbbey'', is a different kind of cook here.
* FountainOfYouth: Katja the witch turns adults into children so she can eat them. She can't just trap children anymore because parents are no longer accustomed to high rates of infant mortality.
* HeelFaceMole: Hansel claims to hate the witch and offers to help the Winchesters destroy her. This is a ruse.
* ImAHumanitarian: Both Katja and Hansel are child eaters.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: As it turns out, Katja was sent to America by the Grand Coven of Witches in order to deal with Rowena.
