I don't know if it's the thing that killed Mom or not . . . but . . . (begins to tear up) I don't know what to do. So whatever you're doing, if you could get here . . . please. I need your help, Dad.

Visual: Dean chopping down the door and his face is framed in the hole

This part of the scene is a reference to the the 1980 horror film, The Shining. In the film, Jack Nicholson's character's face is framed by a door that he too chopped a hole in with an axe.
 
Dean: Missouri did her whole Zelda Rubinstein thing.

Zelda Rubinstein is an actress from the 1982 movie Poltergeist who played Tangina Barrons, a clairvoyant.
 
 
Episode References
 
Upon returning home, several references are made to their mother's death which occured in the "Pilot" episode of the series. Later in the episode when Sam is getting the children away from the spirit, he tells the older girl to get out of the house with her siblings in the exact same way that Sam's father told Dean to get out of the house in the Pilot.
 
 
Analysis
 
Connection to Home

This episode is a good example of the brothers' closeness to their home. Though they were forced to leave the home after their mother's violent death, they still feel strong ties and a need to help the current residents of the house. Despite being haunted by memories of their mother's death, as well as Jessica's, the brothers work together to save their childhood home.
