History Recap / SupernaturalS02E20WhatIsAndWhatShouldNeverBe

* {{Zoom}}: When Dean is talking to the professor, the camera zooms in quickly on four illustrations of djinn accompanied by a [[{{Sting}} swooshing sound]]. Each image becomes [[DeliberatelyMonochrome desaturated]] to the point of almost being completely white before disappearing. The images include a figure wearing a yellow hat with [[WingedHumanoid red wings]] that is in the sky surrounded by yellow swirls, a sketch of a [[ArabianNightsDays being wearing a turban]] surrounded by notes in Arabic, a bearded character wearing a helmet who has four wings, and a painting of six males in turbans around [[GenieInABottle a lamp]] surrounded by [[TechnicolorFire blue flames]].

* WholePlotReference: This episode bears more than a passing resemblance to the WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries episode [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesS1E30PerchanceToDream Perchance to Dream]], even down to the character in the LotusEater!aching being DrivenToSuicide to escape.

!What Is And What Should Never Be

----
[[Characters/SupernaturalDeanWinchester Dean]] is driving the Impala with a new Ohio license plate trying to search the 50 miles of real estate where victims have been disappearing. [[Characters/SupernaturalSamWinchester Sam]] calls Dean's cell from their motel to let Dean know that a police car is outside their motel. This turns out to be a false alarm, and the police car leaves without incident. However, Sam updates Dean on his research. Sam is convinced they are hunting a [[Characters/SupernaturalDjinn djinn]], or genie, which typically lives in ruins. Dean wants to check out a location he passed, which he thinks could be the djinn's lair. Sam suggests Dean pick him up so they can investigate together, but Dean says he will just look around and pulls up to an abandoned warehouse. The djinn watches Dean who searches an old office holding a flashlight and a knife with a blood coated blade. When Dean starts to walk down a hallway, the djinn slams Dean against the wall, knocking the knife out of Dean's hand, and chokes Dean with his right hand. The djinn then lifts his left hand which glows blue as do his eyes. The djinn places his left hand on Dean's forehead, and Dean's eyes roll back and are covered in a gray film.

Dean wakes to a world where he's living with [[Characters/SupernaturalOtherHumans Carmen Porter]], his nurse girlfriend in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence,_Kansas Lawrence, Kansas]]. He soon realizes his mom, [[Characters/SupernaturalTheWinchesters Mary Winchester]], is alive, and neither he nor Sam grew up as hunters. Their father, [[Characters/SupernaturalTheWinchesters John Winchester]], is still dead, but he died peacefully in his sleep from a stroke. Sam is in law school at Stanford, but he flies home with [[Characters/SupernaturalOtherHumans Jessica Moore]] to celebrate Mary Winchester's birthday. At the birthday dinner, Sam and Jessica announce their engagement. Everything seems great, until he realizes that all the people they saved are now dead. And, on top of that, he and Sam are no longer close--they never were, thanks to Wishverse!Dean's escapades with Sam's old girlfriend and his absence at Sam's graduation, among other things. And he keeps seeing a girl dressed in white who appears and disappears.

----

** Dean refers to the Impala as "Baby". He previously used this term of endearment for his car in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E03Bloodlust "Bloodlust" (S02, E03)]] and [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E05SimonSaid "Simon Said" (S02, E05)]].

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Carmen's dark hair and pale skin as well as her knowing and mature attitude are reminiscent of [[Characters/SupernaturalReapers Tessa]] from [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E01InMyTimeOfDying "In My Time of Dying" (S02, E01)]]. The fact that Dean's dream woman resembles his Reaper has some [[DeathSeeker unsettling implications]].

* BigEater: Dean shoves a sandwich into his mouth and continues to [[JabbaTableManners talk to his mother with a full mouth]]. The RunningGag of Dean stuffing his face was previously seen in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E14Nightmare "Nightmare" (S01, E14)]], [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E19Provenance "Provenance" (S01, E19)]], [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E15TallTales "Tall Tales" (S02, E15)]], [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E18HollywoodBabylon "Hollywood Babylon" (S02, E18)]], and [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E19FolsomPrisonBlues "Folsom Prison Blues" (S02, E19)]].

** Sam believing the police car outside the motel is after them recalls the [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01Pilot Pilot]], and the new license plate and credit cards reminds us that they were going to go deep (like moving-to-Yemen deep) after realizing what Agent Henriksen was capable of during [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E19FolsomPrisonBlues "Folsom Prison Blues" (S02, E19)]].
** Dean realizes that something is wrong with the Wishverse when he sees the news coverage of the crash of United Britannia flight 424, which was the plane Sam and he boarded in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E04PhantomTraveller "Phantom Traveler" (S01, E04)]] that landed safely after they exorcised the demon.
** Dean starts looking up news articles online and comes across an article titled "Nine Children Comatose; Mystery illness baffles doctors at Dane County Hospital". The article goes on to say that in the last week a deadly illness seems to be spreading from family to family in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. In [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E18SomethingWicked "Something Wicked" (S01, E18)]], Dean and Sam killed a Shtriga saving these children.
** The next article Dean reads is titled "Parents mutilated; Brutal double homicide in quiet residential area shocked neighbors". In [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E02EverybodyLovesAClown "Everybody Loves A Clown" (S02, E02)]], Dean and Sam killed a rakshasa who was killing the parents of children who attended a carnival.
** Dean then reads an article titled "Girl Drowns in Hotel Pool; Mother devastated after discovering daughter drowned". The article goes on to say that 9-year-old Tyler Thompson, daughter of widow Susan Thompson, drowned in the Pierport Inn in Cornwall, Connecticut. There is a quote from her mother saying they don't know why she was on the roof or why she jumped into the pool, but maybe she heard a loud noise. They also mention that Rose Thompson, her grandmother, is the oldest living member of the Thompson family, and that Robert Carlton planned on demolishing the hotel. The article includes a smiling photo of Tyler in a blue shirt. In [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E11Playthings "Playthings" (S02, E11)]], Sam and Dean try to save Tyler, but it is actually Tyler's grandmother, Rose, who sacrifices her life to stop the vengeful spirit.

** In the episode [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E13HousesOfTheHoly "Houses Of The Holy" (S02, E13)]], Dean told Sam that their mother would say angels were watching over them when she tucked them in. In this episode, Dean asks Wishverse!Mary what she told him when she put him to bed. She replies, "I told you angels were watching over you."
** Wishverse!John Winchester played on a softball team. Sam had a baseball mobile over his crib in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01Pilot "Pilot" (S01, E01)]].
** When Wishverse!Sam falls asleep in the car on the ride to the warehouse in Joliet, Illinois, Dean wakes Wishverse!Sam by shining a flashlight in his face, recalling the prank that started the prank war in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E17HellHouse "Hell House" (S01, E17)]], when Dean put a spoon in Sam's mouth while he slept in the Impala.
** Wishverse!Mary is wearing the same white nightgown with a lace collar, rose ribbon, and lace-trimmed short sleeves that she was wearing when she last held Dean as a child in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01Pilot "Pilot" (S01, E01)]] and when he last saw her in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E09Home "Home" (S01, E09)]]. This is not obvious when Dean first sees his mother, as she is wearing a robe with red flowers covering her nightgown, but it is obvious when she confronts Dean in the warehouse.

* FamilyBusiness: Wishverse!Dean works in a garage. In [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E09Home "Home" (S01, E09)]], we find out that John Winchester owned a garage with Mike Guenther in Lawrence, Kansas. Later during [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E03InTheBeginning "In The Beginning" (S04, E03)]], John Winchester describes himself as a mechanic from a family of mechanics.

* InsistentTerminology: Wishverse!Sam does not like being called "Sammy" anymore than Real!Sam, but for a different reason. This argument about Dean's AffectionateNickname is also a CallBack to [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01Pilot "Pilot" (S01, E01)]], [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E15TheBenders "The Benders" (S01, E15)]], [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E03Bloodlust "Bloodlust" (S02, E03)]], and [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E10Hunted "Hunted" (S02, E10)]].

* MetallicarSyndrome: Despite the events of [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E19FolsomPrisonBlues "Folsom Prison Blues" (S02, E19)]], Dean keeps driving his 1967 Chevy Impala, but he did switch out the Kansas plate KAZ 2Y5 to an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ohio_License_Plate_2004.jpg Ohio plate]] CNK 80Q3, which includes the rising sun from the UsefulNotes/{{Ohio}} State Seal and reminds us that Ohio is the [[UsefulNotes/TheWrightBrothers Birthplace of Aviation]].

* NostalgiaFilter: Another shared trait between Dean and Wishverse!Dean. The coffee table in front of the couch at Dean and Carmen's home has a stack of cassette tapes and only one CD sitting among comic books and magazines. One of the comic books, ''[[http://comicbrowse.com/preview/six-from-sirius Six From Sirius]]'', is a classic from Epic (a division of Creator/MarvelComics) from 1984. The stack of tapes is also a ContinuityNod to when Sam told Dean he needed to update his cassette tape collection in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01Pilot "Pilot" (S01, E01)]].

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Seeing Wishverse!Sam with his back against the wall, eyes large in the shadows, as he seems to need to gather his courage before he swings his baseball bat at the supposed intruder, reminds the viewers how much the real Sam has progressed as a hunter since [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01Pilot "Pilot" (S01, E01)]], where he behaved similarly. Dean can't help teasing Real!Sam with the behavior of his counterpart.

** Wishverse!Sam's Verizon Motorola Q8 phone, on which he is reviewing e-mails when Dean calls him. Sam had [[ContinuityNod the same]] model of phone in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E18HollywoodBabylon "Hollywood Babylon" (S02, E18)]].

* SdrawkcabAlias: The Winchester home has the number 1841 beside the door. This is reversed from the house number 1481 seen in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01Pilot "Pilot" (S01, E01)]] and [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E09Home "Home" (S01, E09)]].
* SharpDressedMan: Usually, we only see Sam and Dean dressed up when they are impersonating law enforcement agents, but in the Wishverse they put on their best for their mother's birthday. Dean wears a blue button-up shirt with a black woven tie, and Sam wears a black pinstripe suit with the yellow tie with blue squares that [[ContinuityNod was previously seen]] in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E05SimonSaid "Simon Said" (S02, E05)]].

* SubvertedCatchPhrase: When Dean calls Sam "Bitch", instead of responding with "Jerk", Wishverse!Sam appears offended and hurt by the remark. This is a ContinuityNod to [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01Pilot "Pilot" (S01, E01)]] and [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E10Hunted "Hunted" (S02, E10)]].

* TitledAfterTheSong: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_and_What_Should_Never_Be A song]] on Music/LedZeppelin's 1969 album ''Led Zeppelin II''. This is also the title of an episode of ''Series/OneTreeHill'', ''Series/That70sShow'', and ''Series/CovertAffairs''. Other ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episodes have been named after Music/LedZeppelin songs including [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E01InMyTimeOfDying "In My Time of Dying" (S02, E01)]] and [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E13HousesOfTheHoly "Houses of the Holy" (S03, E13)]].

** Wishverse!Sam's prom date, who hooked up with Wishverse!Dean, is Rachel Nave. [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1720117/ Rachel Nave]] was also one of the writers of [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E08Bugs "Bugs" (S01, E08)]].

* [[CaliforniaDoubling Vancouver Doubling]]: This episode is shot [[http://raloriasresources.jottit.com/spn_locations%3A_s2_-_pt_2 at different locations]] in [[UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}} Vancouver]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnaby Burnaby,]] British Columbia. The abandoned warehouse is actually Terminal City Iron Works at Franklin Street and Victoria Drive in Vancouver. The Winchester home is a private residence on W 59th Ave in Vancouver. Dean first sees the near dead woman in front of the Burnaby Village Museum Carousel. The birthday celebration is at Hart House Restaurant in Burnaby, and the cemetery scene was filmed at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park where the [[https://www.google.com/maps/place/49%C2%B011%2701.9%22N+122%C2%B059%2713.8%22W/@49.182782,-122.989661,3a,75y,90h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sRexlINEW2ATKSG0zTdUusQ!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en CNR bridge can be seen crossing the Fraser River]].

* BareYourMidriff: Wishverse!Jessica is wearing a tight pink sweater that shows her lower stomach when she tries to convince Dean to put down the knife and remain in the Wishverse.

* ModestyBedsheet: When [[NakedOnArrival Carmen's first introduced]] sleeping next to a confused Dean, she has the sheets tucked around her body to cover her bust, although it still shows her [[ToplessnessFromTheBack bare back]] and [[ShesGotLegs legs]].

* WidowWoman: Wishverse!Mary Winchester is of the wonderful widow variant.

* AffectionateNickname[=/=]InSeriesNickname:

* TitledAfterTheSong: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_and_What_Should_Never_Be A song]] on Music/LedZeppelin's 1969 album ''Led Zeppelin II''. This is [[StockEpisodeTitles also the title]] of an episode of ''Series/OneTreeHill'', ''Series/That70sShow'', and ''Series/CovertAffairs''. Other ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episodes have been named after Music/LedZeppelin songs including [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E01InMyTimeOfDying "In My Time of Dying" (S02, E01)]] and [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E13HousesOfTheHoly "Houses of the Holy" (S03, E13)]].

* FlashbackCut: When Dean finds the bodies hanging from their wrists in the warehouse, brief cuts show the figures he saw in the closet and the reappearing woman in white, revealing that these figures were reality interrupting his fantasy.

* WomanInWhite:
** Dean keeps seeing a brunette is a white blouse, long white skirt, and white shoes; rather than a supernatural being, she turns out to be another victim strung up alongside him, a reminder of why he should wake up. When they find her in the warehouse, she is wearing the same clothes she appeared in, which are now filthy and blood-stained, but she is barefoot.
** Wishverse!Mary is wearing the same white nightgown in which Dean last saw her.

-->'''Sam:''' Yeah, being fugitives? [[SarcasmMode Freaking dance party]].

* AllJustADream[=/=]BrokenMasquerade: When Dean begins to suspect the alternate reality is not real, the other characters confirm this, but try to convince him he should stay anyway.

* {{Fanservice}}: While neither Dean or Carmen are wearing much in bed, Wishverse Sam and Jessica disappoint with both of them sleeping in T-shirts. Wishverse!Sam is wearing sweat pants as well, but there is a shot of Jessica's [[MaleGaze tight boxer briefs]] while she lies on her side in bed.

-->'''Sam:''' I thought it was supposed to be this perfect fantasy.
-->'''Dean:''' It wasn't. It was just a wish. I wished for Mom to live. That Mom never died, we never went hunting and you and me just never [[CanNotSpitItOut uh...you know]].

-->'''Dean:''' Yeah, [[InsultBackfire that does kinda sound like me]]. Well, hey, man, I'm sorry about all that.

* MetallicarSyndrome: Despite the events of [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E19FolsomPrisonBlues "Folsom Prison Blues" (S02, E19)]], Dean keeps driving his 1967 Chevy Impala, but he did switch out the Kansas plate KAZ 2Y5 to an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ohio_License_Plate_2004.jpg Ohio plate]] CNK 80Q3, which includes the rising sun from the UsefulNotes/{{Ohio}} State Seal and reminds us that Ohio is the [[TheWrightBrothers Birthplace of Aviation]].

* ModestyBedsheet: When Dean wakes up next to Carmen, she has the sheets tucked around her body to cover her bust.

-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' Okay. What's gotten into you?
-->'''Dean:''' What do you mean?
-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' I mean this whole warm, [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul fuzzy, ecstasy-trip thing]].

-->'''Wishverse!Mary:''' Sweetie, I--I...Don't get me wrong. I am thrilled you are...hanging out here...all of a sudden. ''[touches Dean's chin]'' But, uh...shouldn't you be at work?
-->'''Dean:''' Work?
-->'''Wishverse!Mary:''' At the garage?
-->'''Dean:''' Right. The garage. It's where I work, yeah. No, I--I--I've got the day off.

-->'''Dean:''' You know, I get it.
-->'''Carmen:''' Get what?
-->'''Dean:''' Why you're the one.

-->'''Sam:''' And I'm glad you dug yourself out, Dean. Most people wouldn't've had the strength, would have just stayed.

-->'''Sam:''' Yeah, but...Dean...it wasn't real.

-->'''Dean:''' Well, the, uh, the Djinn. It attacked me.

-->'''Dean:''' Bitch.
-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' What are you calling me a bitch for?
-->'''Dean:''' You're supposed to say "jerk".
-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' What?
-->'''Dean:''' Never mind.
* SurrogateSoliloquy[=/=]TalkingToTheDead: On discovering all of the people who died because he's not a hunter, Dean visits his father's grave and delivers a bitter tirade to John Winchester's tombstone, asking why he and Sam have to be so unhappy because they're fated to be heroes.
* SurvivorGuilt: Dean realizes his happiness comes at too great a cost.
-->'''Dean:''' ''[at his father's grave]'' All of them. Everyone that you saved, everyone Sammy and I saved. They're all dead.

-->'''Sam:''' Oh God. Come on. ''[shaking Dean]'' Hey. Wake up. Wake up, damn it! Hey. Hey.
-->'''Dean:''' Ahh...Auntie Em. There's no place like home.

-->'''Dean:''' I don't understand. Why you doing this?
-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' ''[sighs]'' Because you're still my brother.

-->'''Carmen:''' Okay. What's gotten into you lately?
-->'''Dean:''' This isn't gonna make a lick of sense to you. But I kind of feel like I've been given a second chance. And [[TemptingFate I don't wanna waste it]].

-->'''Dean:''' I'll die. ''[voice breaking]'' The djinn'll...drain the life out of me in a couple of days.
-->'''Wishverse!Mary:''' But in here, with us, it'll feel like years. Like a lifetime.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: But Dean tries.
-->'''Dean:''' I wanna stay here.
-->'''Wishverse!Mary:''' Why?
-->'''Dean:''' Because I miss the place.

-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' What's in the bag?
-->'''Dean:''' [[BlatantLies Nothin']].
-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' Nothin'?
-->'''Dean:''' Yeah, nothin'.
-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' Fine ''[grabs the bag and begins to open it]''
-->'''Dean:''' You don't wanna do that.
-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' Oh really? ''[takes out a plastic container of "[[KensingtonGore red liquid]]"]'' What the hell is this?
-->'''Dean:''' Blood.
-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' Yeah, I can see that it's blood, Dean! What the hell is it doing in here?
-->'''Dean:''' You don't really wanna know.

-->'''Dean:''' Because there's this creature. A djinn. And I have to hunt it.
-->'''Wishverse!Sam:''' Okay, um...stop the car.
-->'''Dean:''' I know how it sounds.

-->'''Dean:''' ''[taking beer from Carmen]'' My favorite. I guess you know me pretty well.
-->'''Carmen:''' 'Fraid so.

* CoincidentalBroadcast: Dean decides to watch a little TV. When he turns on the set a cooking show is on on channel 2. Channel 3 is Bloomberg News, showing financial news, and channel 4 is playing an episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985''. He then flips to channel 5, which is a news broadcast on 15 [[BroadcastingInTheUnitedStates KJLT]] covering the anniversary of the crash of United Britannia Flight 424.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Dean's mind wanders when discussing djinn with Sam.

-->'''Dean:''' My God. Creator/BarbaraEden was hot, wasn't she? Way hotter than that ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'' chick.

** Sam says djinn are not like Creator/BarbaraEden in [[BedlahBabe harem pants]] in ''Series/IDreamOfJeannie''. Dean also states that he prefers Eden to Creator/ElizabethMontgomery of ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'' (Dean being Dean, it's implied that it's because of the {{Fanservice}}).
