Supernatural season 9, episode 7 “Bad Boys” airs tonight, featuring a look into a previously unknown period in Dean’s life.
The Road So Far
Dean made a deal with Ezekiel, a wounded angel, to save a dying Sam. Ezekiel possessed Sam to heal him from within, while also healing himself. But while Sam is unaware of Ezekiel’s presence, he appears increasingly less convinced by Dean’s cover stories about Ezekiel-related occurrences.
On the demonic front, the Winchesters captured Crowley. After trading his translation skills for a call to Hell, Crowley stole a syringe of Kevin’s blood and started injecting himself with it. Meanwhile, Abaddon has been building an army and voiding ten-year demon deals in her quest to take over Hell.
Castiel, on the other hand, is angelic enemy number one after the fall. After the Winchesters saved Cas from a Reaper, Ezekiel gave Dean an ultimatum: Cas leaves the bunker or Ezekiel leaves Sam, thus condemning him to death. After being kicked out of the bunker, Cas took on a human identity, where he has found a measure of peace with his humanity.

If that promo has whet your appetite, make sure to read the official synopsis for the seventh episode of season 9:
YOUNG DEAN — Dean (Jensen Ackles) gets a call from an old friend named Sonny (guest star Blake Gibbons) asking for help with a ghost. Sonny runs a home for delinquent boys, and Dean was sent there for stealing food when he was younger. Sam (Jared Padalecki) is stunned he never knew this about his brother and asks for more information, but Dean dodges his questions. Another murder occurs while Sam and Dean are at the house, so they scramble to find the culprit before anyone else dies. Meanwhile, Dean looks up an old girlfriend (guest star Erin Karpluk) and recalls his time at the house. Kevin Parks directed the episode written by Adam Glass.
