In these images, we get confirmation that Sam will indeed meet Benny, the vampire Dean escaped Purgatory with and has been hiding from his brother, reminiscent of Sam’s time with Ruby in season 4.

According to the episode synopsis, this episode will involve Benny calling Dean for help after he is beaten by vampires. After “Dean abruptly packs up and tells a confused Sam that he’s taking a ‘personal day,'” Dean learns that Benny is seeking his Maker and offers his help. But when their mission goes poorly, Dean has to call Sam for help.

This episode will also feature more flashbacks from the brothers’ time apart, with Dean contemplating his time with Benny and Castiel in Purgatory while Sam thinks about the life he had with Amelia.

What do you think of the images? Are you looking forward to Sam meeting Benny?
