(For aSupernaturalshow, that sounds about right.)
As fans know,Kansas was originally supposed to performin theSupernaturalseries finale before COVID restrictions forced a rewrite.
Now, Padalecki and Ackles have finally been able to make that happen.

Read what Ackles had to say about it and check out exclusive photos below.
JENSEN ACKLES:Well, look, it was still a friendly set.
[Laughs] Jared had laid the groundwork of like, “This is my brother.

I’m here because of what he and I built together.”
It was fun to get back into the shorthand with him with performance notes, with technical notes.
There’s nobody else I can do that with.
He and I have that, and we’ll always have that.
That’s not something that fades away.
How did the Kansas performance come about?
Did they just call you up one day and say, “P.S.
We have Kansas”?
How did you prepare?
I was like, “PK?!”
And he was like, “Jensen?!”
[Laughs] I think the first time I ever stood on a surfboard was his in North Carolina.
So that was a great reunion, and he and I worked really well together.
We spent half a day in the Moody Theater shooting a rock concert with Kansas as our subject.
And they were awesome.
They were like, “How many times do you want us to do it?”
They were so accommodating and so cool, as I knew they would be.
Did it feel like a full-circle moment knowing you almost had them in theSupernaturalfinale?
So that’s how close we were to having that experience with them.
This episode has a couple ofSupernaturalEaster eggs.
Were those written in the script or was that more of a collaborative effort?
We definitely tried to pepper in the Easter eggs when we could.
Walkerairs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
