Trivia

At the beginning of the episode, Sam is researching for possible ways to get Dean out of his deal. One of the pages refers to the German legend of Faust. According to the legend, Faust was a highly accomplished scholar who is bored and/or unsatisfied with what he has accomplished. He makes a deal with the Devil's servant Mephistopheles for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures in exchange for his soul. As a condition to the deal, after a set period of years, the Devil/Mephistopheles will collect Faust's soul and he will be eternally damned.

The Seven Deadly Sins

After opening the gate of hell, Dean, Sam and Bobby seek a lead to them. Meanwhile in Oak Park, Illinois, the citizen Walter is possessed by a demon. One week later, the trio of hunters head to Oak Park to investigate the noise of a sworn of cicadas. They find a family dead of starvation in front of a television and a couple of hunters chasing demons in the area. Sooner they disclose that the demons of the seven deadly sins have possessed locals and they have to destroy them. While fighting the demons, Sam is helped by a mysterious blonde girl with a knife capable of killing demons.

In "The Seven Deadly Sins", dean Sam and Bobby have to face demons with the power of the seven deadly sins. The episode is visibly inspired in "Se7en" and Sam makes a joke with David Finscher's movie. The most intriguing part is the mysterious blonde hunters that saves Sam. My vote is seven.
