Considering it ran for 15 years many fans of the CW's hit horror series Supernatural likely thought that the show might just go on forever. The series started out relatively tame. Sam Jared Padalecki and Dean Winchester Jensen Ackles set out to look for their father who went missing on a hunt and along the way they take on some ghosts and cryptids.
The pilot episode features the brothers uncovering the secrets behind a ghost known as a Woman in White. From there they follow clues left behind by their father that lead to unsolved supernatural cases that he wants them to handle while he deals with something bigger and more important. With episodes based on popular urban legends like Bloody Mary well known folklore creatures like Wendigo and vampires and ghosts around every corner Supernatural immediately captured viewers attention.
Supernatural raised the stakes every season. Starting with finding Sam and Deans father in Season 1 and hunting the demon that killed their mother in Season 2 the shows original pace started out smoothly. But one huge twist at the end of Season 3 proved to be a major blindside for fans.At the end of Season 2 Jake Talley Aldis Hodge kills Sam. In an attempt to save his brother Dean enters a crossroads deal to bring him back. The demon only gives Dean one year because she is not supposed to be making deals with the Winchesters.
Due to the buildup throughout Season 3 most fans likely expected Dean to escape Hells clutches. After all the brothers survived some truly questionable situations throughout the series thus far and on top of that in the early seasons of Supernatural the idea of going to Hell seemed so final. But then came the Season 3 finale No Rest for the Wicked which ends with the clock running out on Deans deal. The final shot sees him strung up in chains and screaming for help his soul has been sent to Hell.
