And then there’s the question of who shot Stan Morrison (Jeffrey Nordling) and Walker.
Heading into season 2, EW spoke with star and executive producer Padalecki about what comes next.

Has that given him a sense of peace heading into season 2?
What can you tell us about the Davidsons and how they factor into things?
In season 2, the Davidsons find their way back into Austin onto that same ranch.
He’s still not moving on romantically just yet.
Cordell Walker still wears his wedding ring.
And even worse, are we going to ruin our friendship?
Currently the audience knows the Walkers are being watched, but they don’t.
Does it stay that way for long, or do they find out relatively quickly in season 2?
It does not stay that way for very long.
Why did they set it up?
Does season 2 feel different for you in that way?
Can anybody name anything they did in the last three months?"
You have so much explanation.
Now we know who the characters are.
We’re beyond that.
And I was like, “I don’t want to direct, I want to produce.”
That’s kind of the way my brain works.
I would rather put together the Legos than have the finished piece.
I read instruction booklets.
I love the engineering, puzzle aspect of it.
I’d rather try and figure out the answer than know the answer.
I say this without a hint of irony: I can’t wait to never be on camera again.
But I always said I don’t consider myself an actor as much as a storyteller.
I’m trying to tell a story, whatever that means.
