Supernatural Season 12 Photos: Mary Joins the Fight, Sam Is Tortured

The Impala has a new backseat passenger in the first photos from Supernatural‘s Season 12 premiere.

After being resurrected by The Darkness, Mary Winchester is adjusting to all that life on Earth entails, like riding in the car alongside son Dean and angel Castiel. While she appears shaken by her new surroundings, the former hunter still looks comfortable with a blade. Good thing, too, because it’s not long before the trio are attacked, leaving them battered and bloodied.

Elsewhere, the Men of Letters’ British chapter has captured Sam and — sorry, Jared Padalecki — are torturing him with a blowtorch.

In addition to the returns of Samantha Smith and Elizabeth Blackmore as Mary and Lady Toni, respectively, Season 12 will also welcome guest star Rick Springfield as Lucifer’s new vessel.

Supernatural returns on its new night, Thursday, Oct. 13 at 9/8c on The CW.
