There’s been a few time travel episodes in Supernatural, but ultimately when Sam and Dean left, things went back to normal or convenient amnesia took hold. Dean being established in The Winchesters in yet another time travel scenario means the writers are taking another look at things. Dean sets John on this path, a path that very much indicates the beginning of Supernatural would change.
Early in The Winchester’s airing, I assumed the series would have to come full circle with some convenient amnesia that would lead to John forgetting his adventures and set up for the pilot of Supernatural. In established continuity, Mary makes that deal with the demon, loses her life, and sets our Winchester boys on a path of vengeance. But what if a fork in the road in the 1970s changes things up? Mary never makes the deal, and John never has to learn the hard way how to be a hunter. Maybe, just maybe, this continuity shake up is just the thing to rewrite the not-so-popular ending for Supernatural.
Questions arise. When in Supernatural continuity did Dean do this bout of time traveling? Is this even Dean, or something else?

The next episode is called “Cast Your Fate to the Wind.” Fate seems like a very appropriate word to use here. The trailer, however, highlights a plot about a vampire attack. So a lot is up in the air about the Dean mystery.
I also have to wonder how The Trickster might play into things too. Loki is a very powerful, world altering being. Perhaps he’ll be the one to tie everything all together. For now, he’s tucked conveniently away in a trunk, trapped inside a mirror. Can’t wait to see our boy Loki out and about, causing chaos again.
How is Dean there? How does he have the Impala? Why did he have the note to give to John? We’re left with so many questions, and only one option. To watch the next episode and hope to get further clues.
