EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ERIC KRIPKE PENS THE SEASON FINALE – The wall comes down in Sam’s (Jared Padalecki) head and all hell breaks loose. Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Bobby (Jim Beaver) are, for once, at a total loss on how to help him and are forced to stand by and do nothing while Sam breaks. The battle for heaven comes to a head.
Robert Singer directed the episode written by Eric Kripke.
************************************************************************************
Are you going to kill Cas? There’s been some talk that Cas is going to die, in part because season seven might be the last season and it should be just Sam and Dean.
Well, season seven…We are just now starting to work that out. But I will say that the cliffhanger is deeply involved with Castiel’s fate. And it must remain an unopened gift until that evening.

************************************************************************************
Should season seven get the greenlight, do you have any plans or general ideas about what you want for your characters?
Bobby Singer: We haven’t talked about it too much. The only notion we have, and this is not necessarily storytelling, but in term of feel, we talked about doing something. If this season was a season that was a film noir, we are talking about this next season being a classic Western story where civilization is really closing in on the cowboys and Sam and Dean are basically the last two cowboys in a world that is now passing them by a little bit, in terms of not just your individual monster of the week, but how they cope in a new modern world. And they are sort of like old-fashioned cowboys.
We know you can’t say much, but can you give us a tease for the season finale?
BS: Everyone is not what they appear.
Is there a cliffhanger?
BS: It does have a little bit of a cliffhanger to it, yes.
How do you think or hope the fans will feel after the season finale?
BS: I don’t know how they will feel, but we hope they will be satisfied with the year and happy with what we did after the apocalypse. There were a lot of discussions early on about how we match that and we came up with this season long mystery. I think we are happy with it and we hope they are happy with it. There is some good stuff at the end, and they seem to have stuck with us through the year wanting to know and I don’t think we will disappoint when they find out.

We spoke with executive producer Robert Singer, and he says that in the remaining episodes of Season 6, Sam and Dean aren’t going to turn on each other. “There are no obstacles in the sense of their relationship to each other,” he tells us. “It’s always been our plan that we’d rip them asunder in the first half of the year, mend that relationship, and then have it grow over the remainder of the season. That’s really what we’ve done.”

I’m desperate for some Supernatural spoilers! Therefore if you ever want your Mr.T 8×10 autographed glossy back, you’ll tell me what I want to know!! What’s going on with the wall inside of Sam’s head? Is it coming down and will this result in Big Brother/Protective Dean coming out? – T.R., Boston
If it comes back with even a scratch…Ahem. Well, since I’ve already told you a bit about Sam’s wall, I can say this: Anything that prompts “protective” Dean to come out will likely be, as executive producer Ben Edlund says, possibly worse than death in some ways. “We’ve flaunted death, [and] it takes one thing away from us dramatically speaking,” he says. “Yeah, there’ll be more death. I can’t really give a body count or a checklist or anything like that…but some of the things that are the most jarring and the most, let’s say potentially painful, don’t incorporate death. So, plot turns, I think, for us, and emotional switchbacks and things like that, are as untactful in the case of these episodes [coming up] as death might be on another show.”

************************************************************************************
There are two distinct episodes in this two-hour fire-and-brimstone buffet event. For the appetizer, “Let It Bleed,” Dean faces his worst nightmare when Lisa and Ben are unexpectedly abducted. In the main course finale, “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” the war in Heaven comes to a head. Castiel faces off with Raphael and the walls holding back Sam’s memories of Hell crumble. Someone (human? angel? demon?) will die and someone will be transformed. Prepare to gasp, possibly cry and write angry forum entries. Oh, and sorry, John Winchester won’t show his face for the finale.

Question: So… Supernatural. I just love that the brother dynamic has returned now that Sam’s got his soul back. Can we expect some great brotherly love in this season’s remaining episodes? —Julia
Ausiello: You can. As exec producer Bob Singer previews, “Dean is willing to trust him completely. And by season’s end, they are in total lock-step with each other, saving each other’s lives and having that relationship the fans crave.”

I’d really like to hear something that’s a “cut above” on Supernatural. It’s been a mixed season and I’m hoping the remaining episodes tilt that mix in a more positive direction. What say you? Thanks. — MS
I say while we probably shouldn’t expect the sunniest season finale (honestly, have we ever gotten one of those?), we can at least take comfort in one fact: We’ve seen the last of evil Sam…for now, according to executive producer Robert Singer (yes, he’s the character’s namesake.) “Oh, I think you’ve seen the last of that particular evil Sam. What next year holds, who knows,” he laughs.

‘SUPERNATURAL’ EP SERA GAMBLE TEASES SAM’S CRUMBLING WALL, ‘SHOCKING BEGINNING’
Last week I teased the first hour of Supernatural’s two-hour finale (airing May 20), and now, I come with intel on the show’s second hour, which EP Sera Gamble says opens with “a bang,” as the wall in Sam’s mind that protects him from his darkest memories falls down. (An event Jared Padalecki himself spilled on here.) “You see Sam in a state he’s never been in before pretty much at the top of the episode,” she says. “Structurally, he does a couple of pretty interesting things in that episode.”
Um, I’m worried. Nay, pleasantly terrified. “I will say that hopefully it’s entertaining. It’s like when you start to think about what that could be in your imagination — something completely spun out in all directions — except hopefully we give you something you were thinking and some unexpected twists,” she says. “We like to throw stuff at the boys that they weren’t prepared for as much as possible.” I only hope we’re prepared for the trauma. Probably not. But that’s the fun of it.

‘Supernatural’ finale scoop: What’s going to happen to Sam? Hint: Jared Padalecki says they’ve saved ‘the scariest for last’
Ever since Sam got his soul back in episode 11 of this season’s Supernatural and the horrific memories of his one year without a soul were trapped behind a wall in his mind, we’ve been left to wonder if the wall would ever come tumbling down. Well, brace yourself.
At PaleyFest’s salute to Supernatural Sunday evening at Saban Theater in Los Angeles, executive producer Eric Kripke revealed that in the season finale, Sam’s wall is going to crumble.
“We’re going to deal head-on with the story of what happens when those memories come flooding loose. That’s in the finale, which I just wrote and turned into Sera [Gamble] yesterday,” he revealed.
When the wall was constructed by Death, the brothers were warned that the mental and physical consequences of its destruction could be dire — and we shivered in fear at the thought of Sam in that awful condition. According to star Jared Padalecki, we should be scared.
“We’re saving the best for last — and the scariest for last. It does come down, and as Death warned, it’s a catastrophe,” he told EW. “Sam has to battle something he’s never battled before, which is himself.”
“Sam is going to have to ultimately confront what he did soul-less and did in hell. There’s a lot of Sam soul searching,” he added.
In related finale scoop: Kripke said fans can look for everything to “come to a head,” including the war in heaven, the showdown with the Mother of All, and the mystery behind Purgatory. “It’s just sort of turning everything up into a high boil,” he said.
And in case you were wondering, showrunner Gamble confirmed that fans will be stumping hard for a seventh season after watching the finale — because it’s a monster of a cliffhanger.

************************************************************************************
Question: Got any scoop on Supernatural? —Kim
Ausiello: Series creator Eric Kripke warns that the season is “building to a left hook that I don’t think [fans will] see coming. We will bring all of this mythology to a head. We bring purgatory to a head. We bring the war in Heaven to a head. We bring the mother of all monsters — the wall in Sam’s head — to a head. All of it does come together, but I think in a way that’s really unexpected and surprising and really great.” Speaking of that ticking time bomb in Sam’s noggin, how does Kripke (who penned the finale) plan to resolve that? “You don’t want to blow it off,” he says with a laugh. “You don’t want him to be a drooling vegetable on the floor either because that’s not super-exciting to watch last I checked. But I think it’ll be good. I think it’ll be really powerful and emotional. Hopefully, the fans will enjoy it.”
************************************************************************************
Ackles and Padalecki head back to Vancouver to continue working on episode 6×21, which is a Dean-centric episode. “Twenty-one I know is going to be a big one for me. Twenty-two is a big one for Jared’s character. The stakes are raised, the emotions are high.”

Both Gamble and Ackles shared on the press line that episode 21 would be a Dean-heavy episode, which will see the return of Lisa and Ben, while episode 22 will be more focused on Sam.

************************************************************************************
The two hour season finale will be airing with back-to-back episodes on May 20. We know that Sera Gamble wrote part 1, while Eric Kripke wrote part 2. In fact, he just turned in the script and it will start filming on Wednesday, which means the sixth season should be wrapped up in a matter of weeks. Executive producer Robert Singer will be directing the episode.
Kripke and Gamble had originally wanted to do the two-part finale as a sort of “movie”, but they turned out to be very episodic because there’s a lot of loose mythology threads that need tying-up. Each episode will have its own self-contained story and don’t necessarily flow together. The transition between the two hours won’t be seamless (unlike, I suppose, the transition between the two parts of “All Hell Breaks Loose”). Kripke warned “It will be awesome in reruns but for the two-hour people will be like ‘What?'”.

************************************************************************************
As Sam and Dean prepare to take on Eve, aka the Mother of All, executive producer Sera Gamble told TVGuide.com at Sunday’s PaleyFest that the season finale will feature at least two unexpected deaths.
“There will definitely be deaths,” said Gamble, who penned the penultimate episode for Season 6. “I would say that the last couple of episodes are pretty dark. The situation is rather desperate for Sam and Dean and they truly have to ban together to get the job done.”
Executive producer Eric Kripke, who just finished writing the season finale, said there will be a face-to-face confrontation between the brothers and Eve. “It’s epic and daunting,” Misha Collins, who plays Castiel, added. “The final confrontation is definitely not what anyone is expecting. It is, however, larger and more epic than the viewers are expecting.”
But you might not want to hold your breath for a resolution. Despite Supernatural not being renewed for a seventh season — yet! — the producers are leaving the finale wide open. “It’s a cliffhanger, so everyone needs to be prepared that they’re going to be tearing their hair out all summer,” Kripke says.
“We’re certainly preparing for a Season 7,” Gamble says, adding that if there isn’t one, the cliffhanger might anger fans.
“This is a cliffhanger unlike any other,” Padalecki says. “We’ve had Sam die and Dean die and dad die, so we’ve had a lot of deaths. This one doesn’t necessarily end with death, but with a whole new beginning.”
On top of the impending battle with the Mother of All, Season 6 has seen Sam plagued with a memory block, placed on him by Death, which has kept him from learning the truth of what happened during his year without a soul. “I will say we conclusively deal with Sam’s amnesia and the fact that he doesn’t remember what happened to him in hell,” Kripke says.” He’s got this bit of drywall in his head, but it’s a shabby, unstable piece of drywall and it’s only a matter of time before the wall falls down, and in the finale, the wall falls down.”
“It’s something that Sam is both afraid of and also he’s dying to know what he did that year that he was soulless,” Gamble adds. “It’s something that Dean has great fear about. Every ounce of big-brother protectiveness inside him wants to shield Sam from what might happen if the wall comes down, so it’s a pretty major thing for them.”
The truth, however daunting it may be, will not tear apart the brothers. “We’re actually enjoying that, for the first time in a long time, the brothers are a really strong, cohesive unit, so we’re going to keep them like that for the foreseeable future,” Kripke says.

“The production draft of episode 22 just came out; Eric Kripke wrote it.” Kripke tells us, “I’d actually say my favorite thing [in the finale] is the final minute. Stay tuned for the final minute. It’s one of those moments where the more you stop to think about it, the more you feel the enjoyment of the writer, looking at what he’s doing and going, ‘I can’t believe I got away with that.’ When you look at it subtextually, it’s sort of a nutty thing that I did.”

************************************************************************************
We may not have seen the last of soulless Sam yet, though — the wall that Death put up to protect Sam from his memories is flimsy at best, and we’d be surprised if we didn’t see it falter altogether before the season is out (most likely in the reportedly “Sam-heavy” final episode).

************************************************************************************
You need to prepare for the worst, because as Kripke told the Hollywood Reporter, “It ends on a cliffhanger, so fans should prepare to pull their hair out all summer, cause we leave all our characters in the worst possible situation and then fade to black and ‘Hey, see you in September!'”

************************************************************************************
The season’s end will prove that Death’s “call it 75 percent” wasn’t enough. Padalecki told THR this: “The wall does break down. I’m really excited about that. I love playing deep dark Sam, so I love that we’re gonna finally see the wall break.”
The end of Season 6 will bring answers, but a cliffhanger too. Kripke said during the panel that the last two episodes of the season – penned by Gamble and Kripke, respectfully – have “so many mythology threads we need to tie up.” He told THR on press line: “It ends on a cliffhanger, so fans should prepare to pull their hair out all summer, cause we leave all our characters in the worst possible situation and then fade to black and ‘Hey, see you in September!’ ”

So, we all know you went to the Supernatural panel at PaleyFest. So DISH! — Amanda
How ever did you know? It was probably the sound of the heaven’s opening up that alerted you. Anyway, to add to the season finale scoop I posted this weekend, Jim Beaver also told me that as we cruise through the rest of the season we can expect to see a lot more of a group dynamic, meaning more Bobby and Cas!! “The last few episodes of the season are very much a team effort. My sense of it is it’s not a lot of us going off on our separate ways. It’s a lot of us working together on the big questions facing us and we answer a few of them – but not all of them,” he said. As for what questions will be answered, he couldn’t say much, but offered up this extreme tease: “Certain relationships among the group have some rather climactic shifts. Don’t expect the four of us to all be relating the same way at the end of the season as we were at the beginning.” The sound you hear now, is my heart thumping in fear.

************************************************************************************
The season finale will also cause some changes for all involved, as it will be “pretty mythology-heavy” according to Jim Beaver, who plays recurring character Bobby Singer. It will also change how the angel Castiel stands with the humans he’s close to, Dean and Sam Winchester and even Bobby.

Ausiello: You better pray The CW renews the show for a seventh season because “the finale ends on a cliffhanger,” series creator Eric Kripke told TVLine at PaleyFest ’11. “Everyone should be prepared to rip their hair out all summer.” Actually, you might want to start now since, as Kripke adds, “We end [the episode] in the worst possible place for all involved.” Expect the run-up to the big finish to be “pretty mythology-heavy,” says Supe vet Jim Beaver (Bobby). “There are changes in the alliances, and in Castiel’s relationship with the boys and with Bobby.”

Misha Collins tells us, “In the final episodes this season, we’re getting more into the battle in heaven, and we’re even going to touch back on Sam’s soul. The end of the season is very dialed into the season-long mythology…Cas does spend time with the Mother of All lady, and Cas does not go to the Wild West. Missed opportunity. He could have worn chaps.”
