During the final argument, Don makes an insinuation that Maggie slept with Christopher Columbus, and she responds that she felt sorry for him because "he could have fallen off the end of the world". Contrary to popular belief, in 1492 nobody believed that the earth was flat anymore.

"Shut Up, Dr. Phil" is a highly entertaining episode of Supernatural, with a story of witchcraft. It is great to see James "Spike" Marsters and Charisma "Cordelia" Carpenter from Buffy and Angel again after a long period, and the references to "Bewitched" and "The War of the Roses". My vote is eight.
