Trivia
The episode's title refers to Route 66, a road that goes across America.
There also was a Route 666 in the Four Corner area of the U.S, but its name was
changed to Route 491 in 2003.
When Sam says "Yeah, kinda like that theatre in Illinois.", he is most likely referring to The Lincoln Square Theatre in Decatur, Illinois. The theatre tells a story about One-armed Red. He is said to be the ghost of stagehand who was killed tragically during a performance. It's also said that apparitions have been reported since the theatre was burned and partly rebuilt in March 1960.
Webmasters' Thoughts
Hoppy says, "For me, this episode is just kind of like un-memorable filler between two outstanding episodes. We do get to see that Dean had a somewhat stable relationship with a woman at a point in his past, but there's nothing particularly exciting or interesting enough about Cassie to make me like her as Dean's romantic interest. It's probably my least favorite episode of the series, which means it's still a cut above other shows on TV these days, but for this show, it lacks. I do love Kathleen Noone as Cassie's mother though."
