Mary Winchester is alive again on SUPERNATURAL and her motherly instincts are kicking in again, as are her hunter instincts. After Mary and Dean head back to the bunker, the pair find a returned Castiel and a missing Sam. And once they know Sam has been kidnapped, both Mary and Dean are determined to find him.

Thanks to photos from the season premiere, we know that being on the hunt for Sam also means coming into contact with the people who seem to be torturing him. And it leads to a showdown at a crossroads between a woman named Ms. Watts, Mary, Dean and Castiel.

Elsewhere in early season 12, Castiel is determined to find Lucifer after unleashing him on the world. But he’s taken up residence inside an aging rockstar (played by Rick Springfield) and seems determined to enjoy his new life on earth.

Watch a preview below and tune in to the season premiere of SUPERNATURAL on Thursday, October 13 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
