- TriviaAt the start of the episode when Cass is questioning a demon, the camera pans past an old photograph on the wall with a photo of a man and the writing "congratulations Mr Riley, fourth grade teacher of the year". The picture is of Matt Riley, who played a firefighter in season one's Devil's Trap (2006) and died in 2014. At the end of Season 10 Episode 10, The Hunter Games (2015), he was commemorated with "In Memory of Matt Riley 1971 - 2014"

Featured review
Best episode this season!
There have been some good episodes this season, definitely a step up from season 9. However it has been a while since we've had an episode like this.
In summary, as we know from the promo clips, Cain is on a killing spree, and the brothers plus Cas are trying to track him down before he takes more lives.
Robert Berens is the genius behind this episodes writing, and I have praised his writing in the past for being so brilliant. Not one line in this episode felt forced or unnecessary or awkward, everything that was spoken felt like it was adding to the episode and adding to the build up.
We had a bit of everything as well. Not only was Dean's story unraveling, but Crowley and Rowena's story also added to the episode very nicely, I was thoroughly interested in both sides which is not something that happens often. I have always felt that Rowena's character was interesting but not game-changing, however this episode leads me to believe otherwise. It seems like there were some developments that could lead to more intriguing things in the future.
All of the actors were phenomenal in this episode. In particular Timothy Omundson and Jensen Ackles did a spectacular job since their characters essentially stole the show, both of them acted their hearts out. Another shout out to the director Philip Scriccia. Beautiful work on his part, I have absolutely no complaints about his way of directing this episode. The action felt very real and tense.
This is one episode everybody should take the time to watch because it is hands down one of, if not THE best episode of this season. Give Robert Berens more episodes, he has proved that he can write these characters and plots better than many others while keeping everything flowing and in character. Round of applause for this guy.
I don't give this rating often, but The Executioner's Song is definitely a 10/10.
