Timeline and Locations

Lake Manitoc, Wisconsin


Trivia

  • The lakehouse and location used in that episode is the same that was used in the movie Devour, starring Jensen Ackles.


  • Jared's hand was partially broken while filming this episode. Some reports say he and Jensen went into the bar after there had been a barfigh and were mistaken for the troublemakers. Another version of the story says that some guy wasn't very happy when his girlfriend approached either of the star.


Goofs

  • When Andrea gets to her bath the level of water rises as expected, but as soon as the "green water" pours into the bath, you can see that the level of water has decreased.


  • When Bill Carlton's son is drowning in the sink, the plug attached to a chain is in/out of the water between shots.


  • When we first see Dean, he is circling Sophie Carlton's picture in the newspaper. When he shows the paper to Sam, the circle is different. He originally circled her name as well, but it wasn't circled on the paper Sam had in his hands.
