think before you click
With only eight episodes left to go for the season, I thought I'd do a spoiler round up. As is Sera's want, the info around is pretty spoiler light - there's little leaked on significant myth or character arcs coming up. Still, read at your own risk!
A comment on the air dates - there will be two weeks of reruns before the finale. One will be the Friday of Easter, but I don't know when the other will be, so post-Easter dates are a guess. The finale is on May 18th.
Links to sources can be found on the Spoiler 7 page of the Super Wiki.
And btw we have got a techspert working on the Super Wiki and hope it will be operational again soon.
7.16 "Out With the Old"
Air date: March 16
Director: John Showalter
Writers: Robert Singer & Jenny Klein.
Synopsis: After a ballerina is found dead from dancing herself to death, Sam and Dean look into the case and discover the ballet slippers she wore were cursed. When Dean accidentally touches the shoes the power of the curse starts to take hold of him.
* Promo vid - contains some scenes from "The Born-Again Identity".
* Webclip - oh boys!
* Promo pics
7.17 "The Born-Again identity"
Air date: March 23
Director: Bob Singer
Writers: Sera Gamble
Synopsis: Lucifer drives Sam to the breaking point and Sam ends up in a mental hospital. Desperate to save his brother, Dean calls every hunter he knows for help. One of the hunters gives him the name of a healer who turns out to have a very familiar face.
Added info: Misha returns! His comment in classic Misha style was "It's true. I'm going to be back on the reality show about the two brothers who drive around testing out seedy motels. Any questions?"
* Possible spoiler pic of Misha - but it was tweeted by him, so who knows?
In a later interview he said: "Sam [being] in really dire straits, Dean is definitely looking to lean on the character for help. There's a kind of big experience that is being kicked off at the end of my first episode. Cas is going to go through yet another transformation and on to another kind of struggle and journey. Once again, he'll be put through the wringer."
Jensen commented to Dean's reaction on Cas'return. "First, Dean's just gobsmacked. It even says 'jaw to the floor,' I think, when he sees him. I think there's a lot of mixed emotions about it. He's probably elated to have his friend back, and somebody who he knows that he can count on, even though he doesn't know who he is -- meaning Cas doesn't know that he's Cas. Personally, from an actor's standpoint, I'm just glad to have the gang back together, so to speak."
"There's an excitement there because I think he'd lost a lot of hope when Cas went away. That was a really big blow, I think, to his motivation in this fight, and then again when Bobby left. He feels like he doesn't really have -- he obviously has his brother, but he's... a mental case right now, so even though he has his brother, part of his brother, it's a tough time for Dean right now."
Also spotted - Rachel Miner (Meg) arriving in Vancouver as the episode was about to film.
7.18 "Party On, Garth"
Air date: March 30
Director: Phil Sgriccia
Writers: Adam Glass
Synopsis: Dean is surprised when he gets a call from Garth (guest star DJ Qualls) asking for the brothers’ help on a case. Sam and Dean discover they are battling a Shojo, a Japanese creature sent to seek revenge on enemies. The worst part about fighting a Shojo? You can only see it when you’re drunk.
Added info: Possibly includes scenes at a race track, and apparently a very funny episode.

Director: Tim Andrew

The episode features woman in her late 30s, a hunter, who is an old flame of both of Sam and Dean. IMDB lists actor Farrah Aviva as guest starring as a "psycho ghost". Could the two characters be one in the same?
