Supernatural Season 7 Looking Promising, Plus Season Finale Info

Minor spoilers ahead. Do not read any further if you don't like spoilers!

Last year, at about this same time, Supernatural fans were on pins and needles waiting to hear if a season 6 was to happen or not. The original plan for the series was to be a 5 season story, which was wrapped up last year, with the Winchester Brothers halting the oncoming apocalypse. Obviously, we now know that season six was picked up, and that 22 episode story will be wrapped up on May 20th, with the final two episodes. Executive Producer Robert Singer sat down with Zap2It to discuss the last few episodes of the season and had this to say about the Winchester's relationship:

"It's always been our plan that we'd rip them asunder in the first half of the year, mend that relationship, and then have it grow over the remainder of the season. That's really what we've done."

"There are some big obstacles that one of them has to overcome as we get nearer to the end," he says. He also confirms that Lisa and Ben, Dean's pseudo family from his year without Sam, will return in a very 'interesting, high-stakes' way."

"We're feeling confident [about Season 7]. Everybody tells us to feel confident. Whereas last year was the end of a five-year story, this year we told a 22 episode story that has a beginning, middle, and end to it," Singer says. "We've accomplished that. Having said that, we do have a cliffhanger at the end of 22, and that's sort of based on the fact that everybody assures us we're going to get picked up."
