As in every season of SUPERNATURAL since the beginning, Sam and Dean were put through the ringer in S11. When the show returns to The CW tonight at 9/8c, there’s even more struggle coming as the boys are left dealing with the fact that their mother, dearly departed Mary, is once again back among the living and on the hunt with them.

Nevermind the drama that comes with hunting demons and ghosts and things that go bump in the night. Try introducing your mother to a smart phone!

Check out what Jared Padalecki had to say at this summer’s San Diego Comic Con about S12!
