[edit] Plot synopsis
Sam and Dean Winchester return to Wisconsin to investigate a small town where children are falling into comas for no apparent reason. The brothers discover that a shtriga is creeping into the bedrooms of the children and stealing their "life force." Sam researches the Shtriga at the local library, finding newspaper reports of similar deaths in Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook. While battling the shtriga, Dean recalls a past mistake that almost cost Sam his life at the hands of the very same witch, an event which has fueled Dean's protectiveness over Sam and his blind obedience to his father.
[edit] Production notes
- Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook are the same three cities monorails were sold to in The Simpsons episode Marge vs. the Monorail.
- The television series young Sam is watching in the recollection is the ThunderCats.
- "Something wicked this way comes" is a phrase from William Shakespeare's play Macbeth.
- At the start of the episode, a little girl prays. "Now I lay me down to sleep, Pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I die before I wake, Pray the Lord my soul to take." This is a well-known Christian bedtime prayer that dates back hundreds of years. It is also used in the song 'Go To Hell' by Megadeth and Metallica's Enter Sandman.
