The mother of Jo Harvelle and the proprietor of Harvelle's Roadhouse—a bar frequented by hunters of supernatural creatures—Ellen provides advice and assistance to Sam and Dean Winchester throughout the second season. Although the character's appearances in the third season were dropped due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike and failed negotiations, she returns in the fifth and sixth seasons.

Plot[edit]

An old friend of John Winchester, Ellen Harvelle is the wife of hunter William Anthony Harvelle and the mother of Jo Harvelle. She runs Harvelle's Roadhouse, a saloon and pub frequented by hunters of supernatural creatures. When Sam and Dean Winchester arrive there in the second season episode 'Everybody Loves a Clown', a wary Ellen holds them at gunpoint until she learns that they are John's sons.^[1] She gives them information regarding a dangerous hunter named Gordon Walker in 'Bloodlust',^[2] while Sam and Dean later explain to her in 'Simon Said' about the demon Azazel's planned war against humanity.^[3] Her relationship with the brothers is strained in the episode 'No Exit', where she reveals that she believes her husband's death was the result of a mistake made by John Winchester while they were working together on a hunt.^[4] However, she admits to Sam in 'Hunted' that her husband's death was not John's fault and that she had forgiven him a long time ago. She also does not blame the brothers for Jo's decision to go off hunting by herself.^[5]

The Roadhouse is destroyed by demons in 'All Hell Breaks Loose, Part One', and her whereabouts are unknown throughout the episode.^[6] It is revealed in 'Part Two' that she had left the Roadhouse to run a few errands. She, the Winchesters, and fellow hunter Bobby Singer track Azazel's activities to a cemetery surrounded by a giant devil's trap made of railroad tracks. Unable to step inside the giant symbol without becoming trapped and powerless, Azazel forces the human Jake Talley to do his bidding. The hunters are unable to stop Jake from opening a gateway to Hell in a mausoleum there, and the devil's trap is broken as hundreds of demons are released into the world. As the brothers then kill Azazel, Ellen and Bobby close the gateway.^[7]

In the fifth season episode 'Good God, Y'all!', Ellen reappears with Jo to help fellow hunter Rufus kill demons that have laid siege to a small town. By the time the Winchesters arrive, it appears that Jo, Rufus, and some other townspeople have become demonically possessed. However, Ellen and Dean eventually realize that War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is making the townspeople see each other as demons. Sam and Dean break War's spell just as Ellen is about to be killed by one of the town's residents.^[8] In 'Abandon All Hope...', Ellen and Jo once again team up with the brothers to find Lucifer and kill him. Upon their arrival in a seemingly abandoned small town, however, they are attacked by the demon Meg and a pack of hellhounds. Jo is severely mauled, forcing them to barricade themselves inside a hardware store. Knowing that her wounds are fatal and that Lucifer must be stopped, Jo convinces them to build a bomb and to use her as bait for a trap. Ellen stays behind and opens the front doors while the Winchesters escape onto the roof. After Jo dies in her arms, Ellen blows up the building, killing the hellhounds and herself in the process.^[9]

The angel Balthazar changes history in the sixth season episode 'My Heart Will Go On' so that the Titanic never sank, Ellen is restored to life, and is married to Bobby. However, the original timeline is eventually restored.^[10]

Characterization[edit]

Series creator Eric Kripke felt that Ellen brought a 'maternal energy' to the series, and described the character as 'a lioness, which is tough and badass and 'You touch my children, I will kill you.'^[12] Likewise, actress Samantha Ferris described her as a 'gun-toting, beer-slinging, bar-owning broad' with a 'very maternal core'.^[13] Ferris also feels that, despite Ellen having gone through a lot in her life, she is cautious rather than jaded, and is 'very protective of the things she has in her life', especially her daughter Jo and the Winchesters.^[13] Thus, her main concern is Jo's safety, which prompts her to forbid her daughter from going on hunts. When she realizes that she can no longer stop Jo from doing what she wants, Ellen becomes her hunting partner, deciding it is the best way to look after her.^[8] By the time of Ellen's final appearance, actress Alona Tal came to view their characters more as equals rather than mother and daughter.^[14]

Development[edit]

Due to the father-son dynamics of the hunting world depicted in the series' first season with the Winchesters, the writers decided to explore a mother-daughter relationship, resulting in the introduction of Ellen and her daughter Jo.^[12] The name originated from the writers' decision to base her on the 'tough yet emotionally-vulnerable' characters portrayed by actress Ellen Barkin.^[15] Ellen was meant to have a 'true and honest platonic friendship' with John Winchester, and her backstory of her husband having been killed due to John's mistake was added to the storyline to explain why John never mentioned the Roadhouse to his sons.^[15] Ferris auditioned for the role, and feels that she was exactly what they had been looking for. She commented, 'I have a certain kind of personality that works specifically with a role, and Ellen is just me on television. They were looking for a tough, strong, yet a little maternal actor, and I struck a chord.'^[13] Series creator Eric Kripke agrees, feeling that Ferris 'really brought the character to life,' being 'nuanced and complex and tough, yet beautiful and feminine.'^[12]

The writers intended for the character to make only two guest appearances in the third season, which left Ferris 'a bit surprised and [disappointed]' at Ellen's lack of involvement.^[16] However, her initial return was scrapped due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, and the actress declined a guest appearance in the finale because the lackluster offer 'could cost [her] money and work.'^[17][18][19] The opportunity to return for the fifth season surprised her due to the large time span since her previous appearance. Though she expected her character to eventually die, a devastated Ferris was surprised at how quickly it occurred. However, after speaking to director Phil Sgriccia—he told her that Ellen was the 'perfect fodder' for the 'kick' that the series needed, and would 'go out in a blaze of glory'—the actress came to realize that the character's death made sense.^[11] Ellen's last words to Dean—'Kick it in the ass.'—was an improvised homage to the late Supernatural executive producer and director Kim Manners, who had died the year before and would often recite the phrase before filming a scene.^[11][20]

Wanting to 'have a surprise in [the new reality]' of the sixth season episode 'My Heart Will Go On,' the writers considered bringing back various deceased characters. Executive Producer Robert Singer explained that they ultimately decided upon Ellen because 'she's a fan favorite' and 'in a perfect world, she probably would be a good mate for Bobby.'^[21]

Reception[edit]

Critical reception to Ellen has been positive. In their initial appearance, Bryan Enk of UGO felt that the new hunters of the Roadhouse had potential to be the Supernatural equivalent of Buffy the Vampire Slayers's Scooby Gang, comparing Ellen to Buffy's Giles, as she is 'the elder who can help guide the boys from a home base and serve as an emotional link to their father, a parental figure without all the melodramatic baggage of the actual father from the first season.'^[22]Maureen Ryan of Chicago Tribune was 'annoyed' at the destruction of the Roadhouse in the second season finale, as she 'really loved Ellen.'^[23] Diana Steenbergen of IGN also favored Ellen from the beginning, believing her to be 'a great addition to the show.'^[24][25] She deemed Ellen 'tough and direct, and also female, something the boys don't have a lot of in their lives right now.'^[24]

Steenbergen was happy to see the character return in the fifth season, noting that the show has been missing 'smart, tough women who are not evil in general.'^[26] Tina Charles of TV Guide also welcomed the character back, and enjoyed how Ellen's initial reaction to Dean Winchester in 'Good God, Y'all!'—hugging and then slapping him—was 'very much in character.'^[27] Regarding the character's death, Charles noted that 'when [Ellen] went down in 'Abandon All Hope[...]' like [she] did, I felt it. [Her death] meant something.'^[28] Though also happy to see Ellen reappear in the fifth season, Ryan was disappointed at the lack of screentime the character received in 'Good God, Y'All!'^[29] Commenting on the character's farewells in the fifth season, Ryan noted that Ferris 'brought [her] A-game to 'Abandon All Hope…' She added that '[Ferris fits] perfectly into the 'Supernatural' world because [she understands] that on this show, restraint is everything. It's not necessarily just about what the characters say or do, it's about what they don't say—what they can't find the words for.'^[30]

Having missed Ellen's 'maternal influence,' Charles was happy to see her return in the sixth season episode 'My Heart Will Go On,' while Ryan called Ellen's scenes with Bobby in the episode 'probably the strongest part of the show.'^[31][32] Ellen's reappearance gladdened Steenbergen, who called the character a 'force to be reckoned with on the show' and added that 'she is still missed.'^[33]

In a poll conducted by SFX for the Top 200 Sexiest Characters In Sci-Fi, Ellen was voted the 77th sexiest female character in fantasy and science fiction film and television.^[34]

'What Is and What Should Never Be' is the twentieth episode of the paranormaldrama television series Supernatural's second season. It was first broadcast on May 3, 2007 on The CW. The narrative follows series protagonist Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) who finds himself in an alternate reality after a confrontation with a djinn [sic].^{[nb 1]} The creature appears to have fulfilled Dean's greatest wish: that his mother had not been killed when he was a child. Dean is happy in the new world until it becomes apparent that his previous work as a hunter of supernatural creatures has been undone. At this point, he rejects the alternate reality, and attempts to find a method to bring himself back.

The episode was written by Raelle Tucker, and marked the directorial debut of series creator Eric Kripke. It featured the return of deceased characters Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith) and Jessica Moore (Adrianne Palicki). Kripke enjoyed expanding upon the character of Mary, who was only briefly depicted in earlier episodes. The production schedule had to be altered to accommodate Palicki, who was simultaneously working on the TV series Friday Night Lights.

Despite obtaining low ratings, the episode acquired positive critical reviews that both praised Ackles' performance and welcomed the return of Smith and Palicki to the series. Tucker also received a Constellation Award for her work on the episode.

Plot[edit]

The episode begins in an abandoned warehouse, where Dean (Ackles) is attacked by the djinn that he is hunting. He suddenly finds himself in a world in which his mother (Smith) was not killed by the demon Azazel. He and his brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) were not raised to be hunters of supernatural creatures, but are no longer close, as Dean is irresponsible, disloyal, and drinks too much in this alternate reality; when a confused Dean calls him for help, Sam thinks that he is drunk. In the new reality, Dean is dating the beautiful Carmen (Michelle Borth), and Sam is at law school and engaged to Jessica (Palicki)—another victim of Azazel. Although Dean enjoys his new life, a ghostly young woman seems to be haunting him and he is confronted by an image of corpses in his closet. He realizes that all the people that he and Sam had saved as hunters are now dead, that he and Sam have a distant and somewhat adversarial relationship. After visiting the grave of his father John, who died the previous year of a stroke, Dean decides that he must give up his new-found happiness to save them.

In need of something silver—a weakness of the djinn—Dean breaks into his mother's house to steal a sterling silver knife. However, he is caught by Sam, who thinks he's stealing from their mother. While Dean at first pretends that he needs the knife to repay a gambling debt, he eventually reveals the truth. Although Sam does not believe him, he accompanies his brother to the djinn's warehouse lair. There Dean discovers that the young woman he has been having visions of is a victim of the djinn. It's clear that she is alive but in an hallucinatory state—a way for the djinn to keep its victims unresisting while it feeds—Dean realizes that he, too, is within an illusory world. Knowing that a person wakes up if he or she dies in a dream, he decides to kill himself. Carmen, Jessica, and his mother appear and try to talk him out of it. Dean resists the urge to stay, and awakens in the real world after stabbing himself. Sam, who is already in the warehouse trying to rescue him, is attacked by the djinn, but Dean kills the creature.

Production[edit]

Writing[edit]

Series creator Eric Kripke's first experience as director was slated for the twentieth episode of the season, and Raelle Tucker was scheduled to pen it. Kripke wanted a script that was as 'director-proof as possible',^[1] but that would 'play with structure and really do something different'.^[2] He shot down every idea the writers pitched to him until Tucker suggested an alternate reality episode. Drawing inspiration from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode 'Normal Again', Kripke was excited by the concept.^[1] He felt Dean's definitive moment was the death of his mother Mary, so the 'diversion path' of the new reality would be based on the question, 'What if mom never died?'^[1][3] This change allows Sam and Dean to live normal lives, though at the cost of their relationship. The point of the false reality, in Kripke's opinion, was to show that the brothers would not be close if they had not become hunters.^[4] The staff tried to persuade him to remove this aspect, but he thought it would be 'lame' for Sam and Dean to have a '7th Heaven relationship'.^[1] Once the story was fully developed, Tucker was given free rein over the script; this surprised her because she expected Kripke to 'be more of a backseat driver than he was'.^[2]

The opportunity to bring back the character of Mary Winchester excited Kripke. Though she is a driving force behind the brothers' quest to kill the demon Azazel and is referenced numerous times throughout the first two seasons, her two appearances in the series were very brief. The episode allowed the character to be expanded upon, depicting her as a 'really perfect and idyllic mother'.^[1] However, Kripke felt that Dean would realize something was amiss if he was granted a 'perfect dream world', so John Winchester, who died in the second season premiere, remained dead.^[4]

The final version of the episode differed from the original concept. It was initially intended for Dean to be a 'huge loser' in his new life; being a hunter is what gives him structure and purpose.^[1] Without hunting, he would be a jobless barfly. Kripke compared the new reality to a Charles Bukowski novel, but noted that the selfless Dean still preferred the new universe, with Sam happy and living a good life. However, executive producer Robert Singer and others convinced him to change this, because they did not think Dean would be happy suddenly waking up in such a reality.^[1] Another variation stemmed from Dean's lack of someone to confide in—normally Sam is his confidant. Because the writers found it difficult to communicate Dean's feelings,^[1] early drafts of the script included a number of internal monologues. These were ultimately replaced by a scene in which he discusses the djinn with a professor.^[1] The studio wanted the scene of Dean and his girlfriend Carmen kissing on the sofa to include sex. However, Kripke could not work it into the script, because he found it unrealistic that she would deliberately be late for her job as a hospital nurse.^[1]

Djinn[edit]

The writers wanted to use a wish to create the new reality, and chose a genie to facilitate it. The Islamic djinn—the origins of genie folklore—became the episode's monster, but featured the 'bastardized western conception' of wish-granting to fit the episode.^[5] To avoid the typical portrayal of genies in popular culture—such as those from Aladdin and I Dream of Jeannie—they chose to create a 'logical twist on the lore' by making the creature vampiric.^[5] Tucker originally intended for the creature's feeding method to be mystical—it would inhale its victim's life essence from his or her mouth. However, Kripke preferred to style it more like a horror movie, and had the djinn feed from a shunt in its victim's neck.^[6]

The creature's appearance was inspired by an image of a woman with a henna-tattooed back that Kripke found on the internet. He thought it would be intriguing to have the villain's entire body tattooed.^[1] The actor who portrayed the djinn—Mackenzie Gray—had a shaved head, so special effects makeup artist Toby Lindala only used a minor prosthetic to cover Gray's eyebrows.^[6] Lindala found the tattoos to be a 'particular challenge' because they were 'intricate designs'.^[7] The production schedule could not accommodate the six hours needed to apply the makeup each day, so the actor was booked with the condition that the make-up not be removed for four days.^[7] Gray's personal life was affected by this, as people on the street were scared by his appearance.^[1] Lindala was surprised that Gray was able to keep the tattoos undamaged outside of filming.^[7]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography for the episode took place in Vancouver, British Columbia. Kripke wanted Adrianne Palicki to reprise her role of Jessica Moore—Sam's deceased girlfriend—but she was busy filming for the Texas-based television series Friday Night Lights. Because Jessica was an integral aspect of the storyline, the production schedule was adjusted to accommodate the actress.^[1] The first five days of filming commenced for 'What Is and What Should Never Be', and production then shifted to 'All Hell Breaks Loose, Part One' until Palicki became available for the final three days of filming.^[1] However, she was not present for filming of the episode's climax. Instead, the actress filmed her part in front of a blue screen, and was later digitally added into the scene.^[1]

Because the series usually has a dark atmosphere, often consisting of 'sets with grime and a sense of danger', Kripke wanted there to be a contrast between the two worlds. Therefore, he requested that production designer Jerry Wanek build the 'most beautiful, warm, affectionate sets you’ve ever seen'.^[1] Cinematographer Serge Ladouceur also made the usual shadows and 'moody lighting' more colorful and warm. Though it rained almost constantly through filming, perfect weather arose for filming of one of the main contrasting scenes—Dean mowing the lawn. Kripke wanted it to appear 'too perfect to be real', and was able to film the 'sunny, beautiful scene'.^[1] The 'creepy' warehouse used as a lair by the djinn was a redesigned warehouse set from the television series Kyle XY.^[1]

One of the first directors Kripke had become acquainted with and learned from was David Nutter. Kripke thus wanted to include homages to Nutter's work on the pilot;^[2] some scenes of the new reality were meant to be recreations from the first episode.^[1] The crew attempted to match the camera angles, lighting, and music as much as possible. While Sam and Jessica sleeping together in bed was supposed to be an exact replica of a similar scene, the fight between the brothers differed. Because the new Sam is 'pretty much a wussy', Dean is able to take him down instantly.^[1] Tucker noted that it was also a 'sneaky way' of hinting that the new reality was merely an illusion, as he is 're-experiencing that moment from the pilot because his fantasy world is being generated by what he already knows and has lived'.^[2]

Many of the photos present throughout the Winchester home were photoshopped by graphic artist Mary-Ann Liu. Each one was discussed and refined, as Kripke felt they were important to show the new Winchester family history.^[1] Some pictures, such as Dean at the prom and Sam at graduation, were edited versions of photos from Ackles' and Padalecki's childhood.^[1]

Music[edit]

The episode's synthesized orchestral score was written by Christopher Lennertz.^[8] As of production of the fourth season, the episode has been his favorite one to score. Lennertz used a solo bassoon for the emotional scenes in the alternate reality rather than the cello he normally uses for Sam and Dean's relationship. He noted that it 'set a very interesting lead tone for the episode'.^[9] Following the series' tradition,^[10] the episode also featured rock songs.^[11]

Reception[edit]

In its original broadcast, 'What Is and What Should Never Be' was viewed by an estimated 3.11 million viewers,^[13] one of the lowest ratings for the season. Conversely, writer Raelle Tucker won the Constellation Award for 'Best Overall 2007 Science Fiction Film or Television Script' for her work on the episode,^[14] and the episode garnered positive reviews from critics. Tina Charles of TV Guide 'adored' the episode, and considered it to be Jensen Ackles' best performance of the series. She experienced an 'emotional roller coaster the entire hour', finding Dean's monologue at his father's grave to be 'crushing' but the lawnmower scene to be 'hilarious'.^[12] Likewise, Diana Steenbergen of IGN gave the episode a rating of 9.2 out of 10, praising the quick pace, 'heavy' character development, and 'ton and a half of angst'. She, too, felt that Ackles 'hits the ball out of the park', and noted that the episode's humor stemmed from Ackles' willingness to be a 'big goofball'. Actresses Samantha Smith and Adrianne Palicki were 'a treat', although Steenbergen would have liked Jeffrey Dean Morgan to return.^[15]

Tom Burns of UGO deemed the episode as 'one of the strongest hours of Supernatural all season', feeling that 'the actors really stepped up their game...and sold every moment'. He also noted the 'unapologetically emotional' Ackles, who '[wore] his joy, sadness, and anxiety all over this face, but always [kept] things real and in character'. Though Burns believed that 'wish-world' stories have been overused in fiction, he felt that Ackles' 'hardcore acting chops' allowed the episode to 'escape from mediocrity'.^[16] The 'outstanding' and 'well crafted' episode was given a 7 out of 7 by TV Squad's Brett Love. He considered the djinn as 'one of the better representations' of genies in popular culture, and noted that the creature had the 'perfect creepy look to it'. He was pleased to see Smith and Palicki return, and found the character of Carmen to be 'a nice addition to the family'.^[17] Don Williams of BuddyTV agreed, and ranked the episode third in his list of the best episodes of the first three seasons. Deeming it the best standalone episode, he noted that it 'can be embraced by anyone who enjoys clever writing, great acting, or a shirtless Jensen Ackles'.^[18]
