5 big takeaways from the Supernatural Season 15, Episode 16 promo and synopsis
5 important things from the Supernatural Season 15, Episode 16 promo
The Winchester brothers are taking a trip down memory lane, and not for good reasons. It’s time to break down the Supernatural Season 15, Episode 16 promo and synopsis.
Titled “Drag Me Away (From You),” it’s clear that there’s going to be something creepy and potentially ghostly happening. This is also episode three out of the final seven episodes of the series. I’m still not sure how to feel about that.
Here’s a look at the promo and synopsis for Supernatural Season 15, Episode 16 before we get into the breakdown. There are spoilery tidbits for those who view promos and synopses as spoilers.
"Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are asked to investigate the murder of a childhood friend, calling them back to a motel from their past and perplexing the brothers with a case they thought was solved a long time ago."
It’s a creature from the past

We’re getting something from the past. That means stories of when the Winchesters were younger. What we don’t know who what this creature is, but Dean says that he remembers her. In fact, he saw her.
It’s not often that we get to connect to the past. That seems like something from the earlier seasons. I’m looking forward to seeing how the Winchesters deal with a creature they thought they’d killed.
The death of a childhood friend
The death of a childhood friend will pull them back to a motel. It’s not often we hear of the Winchesters’ friends from the past. Half of the time, it’s like they never made friends. This one sounds like friends they made in a motel while on hunting trips with their dad.
It looks like one friend is still alive. She may know more of what happened to the childhood friend, which may be that ghost we keep seeing. Can the Winchesters save the girl?
Back to urban legends
By the looks of things, we’re heading back to urban legends and folklore. Supernatural has focused so much on religion in recent years that it feels refreshing to go back to the folklore and legends. I miss those episodes. This makes me look forward to this one a lot more.

It could be Baba Yaga
I’m trying to figure out what the folklore could be, and it looks like we’re possibly heading to Slavic folklore about Baba Yaya. That’s just something I’m getting from a close look at the lore we see on the screen in the promo.
The creature can help or hinder people who seek her out in Russian lore. In Slavic lore, she’s a deformed and monstrous-looking old woman, which seems to fit the bill of what we see. In some lore, she’s a child-eating monster, which would explain going after a young Dean.
We’ll get a new Young Sam and Dean
We’re not getting the same actors we’ve had in the past for young Sam and Dean Winchester. That’s not surprising since those actors have all grown up. One was recently in Daybreak.
So, we’re getting new actors. One of them we see on the screen, but not the other. How much does Sam remember from the past?
