The CW has released a batch of promotional stills from Supernatural season 9, episode 8, titled “Rock and a Hard Place” and featuring the return of Sheriff Jody Mills.
The stills mostly feature Dean as he infiltrates a church chastity group, though we also have a few shots of Sam and Jody Mills.

We’re thrilled to see Jody Mills again. The last time we saw the fan favorite sheriff, she was Crowley’s target in the season 8 finale when the King of Hell was systematically killing all the people the Winchesters had ever saved. When the Winchesters agreed to give Crowley the demon tablet, it seems they saved her at the very last moment.
The official synopsis for the episode reads:
SAM AND DEAN REUNITE WITH SHERIFF MILLS — Sheriff Mills (guest star Kim Rhodes) calls Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) for help investigating multiple murders in her small town. Discovering all four victims belonged to the same church chastity group, Sam and Dean decide to infiltrate by joining the group themselves. When Dean disappears, Sam and Sheriff Mills realize whatever they are hunting has taken Dean too and team up to rescue him. John MacCarthy directed the episode written by Jenny Klein (908).
The last time Sheriff Mills helped the brothers on a hunt, she teamed up with Sam to save Dean when he was sent back to the 1940s by Chronos; it looks like they will pick their partnership up again in this episode.
Supernatural season 9, episode 8 “Rock and a Hard Place” airs Tuesday, November 26 at 9:00 p.m. ET on The CW.
