This upcoming episode will send the Winchester Brothers all the way to the White House. The chase continues asLucifer’s search for power and influence in a vessel lands him in the White House.

“We’re going to be building in about a six-week time jump. We’ll see how Sam and Dean act in that period of isolation, but also how the rest of the world reacts, as well - specifically Cas and Mary and some other players. The people that have them think they’re real, legitimate criminals, albeit kind of terrorists more than your common thief or anything like that.Sam and Dean[are] facing something where it’s not like they can do what they normally do.”
The executive producer continued by stating that theWinchester Brotherswill not be able to tell these government officials that “the monster’s real,” and “you have to be on our side,” which is a tactic the brothers have employed with law enforcement officials in the past. These new photos also show Castiel (Misha Collins) and Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith) looking for Sam and Dean. We see the brothers sitting in the back of a government military vehicle in shackles. It remains to be seen whether or not the Winchesters will be rescued by Castiel and Mary, or if they’ll find a way out of this latest predicament by themselves.
