Сверхъестественное After School Special (2005– ) Online
Dean and Sam travel to Fairfax, Indiana, to investigate a murder case in the Truman High School where the teenager killer April Dawkins claims to be possessed in the moment she killed her schoolmate Taylor. While the Winchester brothers check the school and follow a wrong lead, they recall through flashbacks of their past in the same high-school. In 1997, Dean flirted with the sexy Amanda Heckerling and Sam befriended the bullied Barry Cook and defended him against the bully Dirk MacGregor.

Eighth grade Sam wrote a paper about his family killing a werewolf the previous summer. Dean told the same story to Gordon in season two's "Bloodlust".
At San Diego Comic Con 2015, when asked if the Winchester brothers would defeat their new enemy, Jared Padalecki (Sam) replied "Yeah, because we're not the LOSEchesters," and in this episode, the bully who terrorized Sam and his friend Barry taunts Sam by saying "Come on LOSEchester!"
This episode is dedicated to the memory of 'Christopher F. Lima' (rigging electrician) and Tim Loock (online editor)
Cainan Wiebe plays a bully in "Wishful Thinking" and the victim of a bully on "After School Special".
Dean's alias as temp teacher is "coach Roth", a nod to David Lee Roth, singer of the band Van Halen
When Dean suggests to Sam that they pose as Swedish exchange students he is making a tongue in cheek reference to the brother and sister super duo The Wonder Twins.
When Dean compares victims, he says "Martha Dumptruck, Revenge of the Nerds, and Hello Kitty all rode the same bus." Martha Dumptruck was a character in the movie Heathers.
When Sam tells Dean that he wants to talk with Mr. Wyatt, Dean says, " Yeah whatever. Go have your Robin Williams 'O Captain! My Captain!' moment." He is quoting from Williams's Dead Poets Society (1989).
Brock Kelly had not watched "Supernatural" prior to getting the part of young Dean Winchester. To prepare for the role he watched the pilot episode and Supernatural: A Very Supernatural Christmas (2007) several dozens times.
A cameo of the CW Vampire Diaries' Candice King (Caroline) is Dean's short-lived romance in this episode. The CW seems to share characters in some of their shows.
The exterior of Sam and Dean's old high school is the same exterior used to shoot the pilot episode of "The Vampire Diaries" another show on the CW
Although they didn't appear together both Jensen Ackles and Brock Kelly (who both play Dean Winchester, older and young) appeared on Days of our lives.
Young Dean dates a girl named Amanda Heckerling while in high school. Amy Heckerling is a well known Hollywood director known for teen movies such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless.
In young Sam's classroom, the words "The Outsiders" is written on the chalkboard. This is a coming of age book and movie about different classes of young people, and the confrontations they get into, much like this episode.
Jensen Ackles had quite a hand in Dean's gym teacher costume. He says he based it on a gym teacher from his high school, and described the bright red shorts to the costume department. When they came, the costume department then altered the shorts to make them even tighter. "The Red Shorts" has become a common Dean trope used by fans of the show.
