Before you start

A focused rewatch of the hunt, not an appearances-only list or a complete Supernatural shortcut. Several episodes develop clues or consequences without Azazel appearing. Later flashbacks and visions are outside this selection.

Episode titles and later-season context are visible here. The watch-path reader hides future details by default; you can switch that off for a rewatch.
