Thanks to the writer's strike, demon-hunting brothers Sam and Dean
winchester have just four episodes left. When the show returns, Dean's
devil-may-care attitude about his impending date with hell finally
changes. "Something big happens to him that makes him realize he
desperately wants to live and he desperately doesn't want to go to
hell," says exec producer Eric Kripke. In the meantime, the boys go
"dream walking in other people's dreams," according to Kripke. "the
action takes place inside these dreams, and you really get to see the
inner lives of the characters." We'll also learn how sexy hunter Ruby
became part demon; Kripke hints that "something surprising" about her
will be revealed. There's more pain when Agent Henricksen catches up
with the boys in a climactic showdown. and in the last episode of this
batch, Dean dies hundreds of times, "Groundhog Day" -- style, at least
in the mind of Sam. "It's actually quite funny," Kripke says. Only on
Supernatural.
