- Sam (after Wendy kisses Dean): You cannot hit that.

- Why did Sam and Dean leave Martin behind?
- Is it really a good idea for Sam to swallow his anger?
|
- It's now Dean who feels he is the one who has to save the world (the way way Sam used to feel it was all on his shoulders).
- Sam realizes his anger has always been inside him and is not in reaction to his family, demons, or Lucifer.

- (No non-original music.)

- The title references the 1999 film Girl, Interrupted starring Winona Ryder as a depressed teen sentenced to 18 months in a mental hospital, where she meets a rebellious friend (played by Angelina Jolie).
- Dean calls the nurse "Nurse Ratched," who was the nurse played by Louise Fletcher in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), about the colorful residents of a mental institution.
- Martin refers to checking himself into the Hotel California, an allusion to the Eagles song of the same name, which is said to be about the decline of society.
