Sam and Dean take their final ride. -Super-Wiki

Originally aired on November 19th, 2020.

Sam is wearing Dean's gray hoodie in the scene in the kitchen after Dean dies. It was also Jared's idea that when Sam reunites with Dean in Heaven, he would be wearing clothes that match what he was wearing in the Pilot episode.

We have reached the end, and with it, the 20th anniversary of the pilot airing on September 13th, 2005. Thank you for sticking with us through almost a year of episodes, and tag any thoughts with #spn20rewatch!
