Fans of “Supernatural” originally met Henry Winchester (Gil McKinney) back in Season 8 when he visited Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) to aid them in their fight against Abbadon (Alaina Huffman). Due to the timeline of “The Winchesters,” some viewers expected to see the character make an appearance at some point, while McKinney spoiled the surprise on his Twitter account.
The mid-season finale saw Henry’s ghost show up and make amends with his wife and son, but the reaction to his cameo suggests that some fans weren’t ready for the waterworks to arrive. Over on Twitter, @TWdailyupdates revealed that Henry’s return to the franchise made them “INHALE SO FAST” that they “POPPED A LUNG.” Afterward, the social media user noted that one line spoken by Henry toward his son had an effect on them. “Didn’t realize the “I’m proud of you” line would hit me as hard as it did.”

Similar thoughts were echoed by fellow Twitter user @ambitiouspiano1, who was grateful to see the family reunited, albeit not in the happy way each member wanted to be. “All the emotions!! So glad John and Millie both got to see Henry, I had a sinking feeling he would disappear before [Millie] arrived.”
Elsewhere, @DemonChloe responded emotionally to Henry’s final words to his wife and son. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME !? Do you want me to DIE !? I AM CRYING,” the social media user wrote.
