EW's definitive ranking of every Supernatural episode
Sam and Dean Winchester have saved the world more than once, so we figured that the least we could do would be ranking every episode of Supernatural ever. From Sam and Dean’s first battle against the Woman in White to God’s villainous twist, we left nothing out.
If you’re looking for our Top 50 picks, check out gallery No. 1, and for our Worst 10, head here. For everything in between, scroll down, relive the memories (and play a little “Carry On My Wayward Son” just to set the mood).
Here’s how the rest of the rankings stand:
51. “First Blood”
Season 12, Episode 9
Sam and Dean make a deadly deal with Billie to escape the U.S. government.
52. “Faith”
Season 1, Episode 12
An important hour for the show, “Faith” marks the first real introduction of religion. Sure, it ends up being about a reaper, but with Dean’s life hanging in the balance, it packs an emotional punch.
53. “The Devil in the Details”
Season 11, Episode 10
54. “Red Meat”
Season 11, Episode 17
Not your typical hour, “Red Meat” kicks off with Sam being shot and then allows the drama to unfold at a slower-than-usual pace by putting the boys in a survivalist scenario. It’s an approach the show hadn’t taken before, and one that worked beautifully to build suspense.
55. “Brother’s Keeper”
Season 10, Episode 23
56. “The Things We Left Behind”
Season 10, Episode 9
57. “LARP and the Real Girl”

Not only does Charlie return, but Sam and Dean do a little LARPing.
58. “Hollywood Babylon”
Season 2, Episode 18
In the show’s first real attempt at comedy, Sam and Dean find themselves on a haunted film set. Aside: Every note the producer gives the director is something The CW told Supernatural at some point. And yes, by hour’s end, they kill the producer.
59. “Stairway to Heaven”
Season 9, Episode 22
60. “My Bloody Valentine”
Season 5, Episode 14
Sam uses his demon-blood powers to pull demon souls out of Famine and kill him. Also, Cas eats raw hamburger.
61. “In the Beginning”
Season 4, Episode 3
62. “On the Head of a Pin”
Season 4, Episode 16
63. “Let The Good Times Roll”
Season 13, Episode 23
Dean says “yes” to Michael, allowing the archangel to possess him for a final showdown with Lucifer. Lucifer ends up dead, but he isn’t Michael’s only victim when the archangel makes it clear he has no intention of letting Dean go.
64. “O Brother Where Art Thou?”
Season 11, Episode 9
65. “The Executioner’s Song”
Season 10, Episode 14
It’s the big battle between Dean and Cain, and — spoiler! — Dean comes out victorious.
66. “Who We Are”
Season 12, Episode 22
Sam takes out the British Men of Letters’ headquarters while Dean deals with Mary’s brainwashing by having a very emotional mother-son chat. Grab some tissues for this one!
67. “The Prisoner”
Season 10, Episode 22
68. “I Know What You Did Last Summer”
Season 4, Episode 9
The introduction of Anna is matched with Sam finally filling Dean in on his “connection” with Ruby. Yes, there’s sex.

Season 2, Episode 20
76. “All Along the Watchtower”
Season 12, Episode 23
“Watchtower” introduces us to an intriguing parallel universe where Sam and Dean failed to avert the apocalypse, creating many possibilities for the show moving forward.
77. “Clip Show”
Season 8, Episode 22
Any TV episode titled “Clip Show” is one to be wary of, but Supernatural doesn’t phone it in, instead bringing back old characters as part of a new case.
78. “Let It Bleed”
Season 6, Episode 21
79. “Mommy Dearest”
Season 6, Episode 19
Eve meets her end in a dinner showdown. But the fight’s far from over as Castiel and Crowley meet up after all the bloodshed.

Season 7, Episode 17
83. “Folsom Prison Blues”

Dean comes face-to-face with Billie, who’s now the new Death.
85. “Lost and Found”
Season 13, Episode 1
86. “Safe House”
Season 11, Episode 16
Midway through season 11, Supernatural took a break from the Amara of it all with this episode, which featured the more than welcomed return of Bobby and Rufus via flashbacks that ran parallel to the present day storyline involving The Winchesters hunting a soul eater.
87. “Rock Never Dies”
Season 12, Episode 7
Castiel, Crowley, Sam, and Dean all work together to bring down Lucifer, who’s currently living his best life as a rock star.

89. “Meet the New Boss”
Season 7, Episode 1
90. “Yellow Fever”
Season 4, Episode 6
Dean gets a virus that makes him scared of just about anything, including very small dogs. It’s another example of the show balancing drama—Dean might die—and comedy—and a cat might kill him.
91. “We Happy Few”
Season 11, Episode 21
It’s the biblical battle we’ve been waiting for the show to stage: Chuck, Castiel and angels, Crowley and the demons, Rowena and the witches vs. Amara, a.k.a. The Darkness. Yes, there was a cop out ending, but that didn’t stop the episode from feeling epic.
92. “All in the Family”
Season 11, Episode 21
93. “The Heroes’ Journey”
Season 15, Episode 10
Garth’s final episode finds him saving the day when Sam and Dean experience what it’s like to be so very … normal.
94. “The One You’ve Been Waiting For”
Season 12, Episode 5
Although we weren’t dying for the show to revisit the Nazis of the Thule Society, we’re glad they did because it led to this fun episode where Dean kills Hitler, who was resurrected in a new body. (And, “Dean killed Hitler” is a sentence we’ll never tired of writing).
95. “Stuck in the Middle (With You)”
Season 12, Episode 12
Former trickster/archangel Richard Speight Jr. directs this exceedingly fun installment, which pays homage to Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs.
96. “Into the Mystic”
Season 11, Episode 11
97. “My Heart Will Go On”
Season 6, Episode 17
What if the Titanic never sank? Well, fate still has some souls to collect. More importantly, come on, Balthazar. What kind of angel could hate Titanic?
98. “Appointment in Samarra”
Season 6, Episode 11
Any appearance by Death is a good one, but this time, he decides to hand his powers over to Dean for a day. Oh, and Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, pops up, just in case the episode wasn’t good enough already.
99. “Taxi Driver”
Season 8, Episode 19
While the idea that breaking into Hell only requires a taxi driving smuggler is a bit silly, the second trial proves to be no easy task. Meanwhile, Kevin can’t seem to get Crowley’s voice out of his head.
100. “Home”
Season 1, Episode 9
101. “Wayward Sisters”
Season 13, Episode 10
Not only was “Wayward Sisters” a successful backdoor pilot for a potential spin-off, but it also gave many fans what they’ve been waiting for for years: a great story anchored by well-drawn female characters.
102. “A Very Supernatural Christmas”
Season 3, Episode 8
A good, yet fairly standard episode of the show is topped off when the brothers exchange Christmas gifts and enjoy some quality family time—eggnog included.

109. “Hunted”
Season 2, Episode 10
110. “The Great Escapist”
Season 8, Episode 21

Season 10, Episode 18
112. “Regarding Dean”
Season 12, Episode 11
Dean’s hit with a spell that begins erasing his memory in an hour that’s both funny and, at times, devastating.

114. “Form and Void”

When Sam is infected by the Darkness, we’re introduced to Billie, the reaper who claims she’ll be the one to take the Winchesters when their time comes.
115. “Everybody Loves a Clown”
Season 2, Episode 2
While the truth of the episode’s title might be dubious, this episode has a smart blend of drama in John’s funeral (or the closest thing to it) and a case that forces Sam and Dean to become employees at a circus. The mix of tones shouldn’t work, but, unsurprisingly, Supernatural makes it fun.
116. “No Exit”
Season 2, Episode 6

Season 5, Episode 5
Sam wrestles with Gandhi before decapitating Paris Hilton. Thanks for this, Supernatural.
118. “We Need to Talk About Kevin”

This episode will always stand out for the introduction of Jesse, or as some refer to him, the Anti-Christ.
120. “Slumber Party”
Season 9, Episode 4
Any appearance by Charlie is a good one. Throw in the idea that Oz is a real place and Dorothy is actually a kickass hero and this episode leaves fans hoping that clicking their heels will bring them back to Oz just one more time.

Season 6, Episode 4
122. “Atomic Monsters”
Season 15, Episode 4

124. “The Rupture”
Season 15, Episode 3
125. “Beat the Devil”
Season 13, Episode 21
Even though Sam has died many times before, his mid-episode death here was still shocking and upsetting because of how relatively mundane it was.
126. “Our Father, Who Aren’t In Heaven”
Season 15, Episode 8
This mid-season finale marks the long-awaited return of Adam (and Michael) from the cage!
127. “Back and to the Future”

131. “Our Little World”

The Leviathan of it all hurts this episode’s credibility, but the return of Lucifer (in Sam’s visions) almost makes up for it.

Season 9, Episode 2
134. “What’s Up, Tiger Mommy?”
Season 8, Episode 2
Who knew the supernatural could be so civilized as to hold an auction? Apparently they are in this episode, which also includes another appearance by the lesser-seen but just as fun to watch as her son, Mrs. Tran.

136. “Sam, Interrupted”
Season 5, Episode 11

Season 8, Episode 12
148. “Hook Man”
Season 1, Episode 7

The episode lives up to its title, revealing that Sam and Dean aren’t the only Winchester brothers. But the family reunion isn’t exactly a fun time.

Season 10, Episode 1

Season 4, Episode 11
165. “Mint Condition”
Season 14, Episode 4
Any episode that starts in a comic book store is guaranteed to be fun, and this one doesn’t disappoint. It features a murderous Thundercats action figure, a fun callback to season 2’s “Hollywood Babylon,” and Dean fighting someone called the Hatchet Man, the main character of a horror series.
166. “The Big Empty”
Season 13, Episode 4
Castiel meets his twin … sort of.
167. “The Rapture”
Season 4, Episode 20

Season 8, Episode 8
In a quasi-meta episode, deaths start occurring in a small town that have some strangely cartoon-like attributes. There are enough classic animation callbacks in the episode, including an actual 1-ton anvil, that you can just sense Wile E. Coyote waiting off screen for his cue.
