- TriviaUnlike most of the demons, spirits, and creatures that the Winchester brothers hunt, the ghost in this episode is based on a real-life historical figure: the serial killer Herman Webster Mudgett (1861-1896), a.k.a. Dr. Henry Howard Holmes. Many of the details mentioned by the Winchesters about H. H. Holmes are historically true: he did confess to 27 murders (9 confirmed); he did build a so-called "Murder Castle" in Chicago so he would be able to carry out his crimes in secret; there is evidence that he used chloroform in at least some of his crimes; he was executed by hanging in Philadelphia; and, at his request, he was buried in concrete so no one would be able to molest his corpse.
- GoofsAmong the research and paperwork on a table regarding H. H. Holmes and his crimes is a black and white photo of a dead woman. However, the photo is not of one of Holmes' many victims, it's of Elizabeth Stride, one of Jack the Ripper's victims.

The Truth About the Relationship of John Winchester and Ellen
Dean and Sam visit Ellen and Joanna Beth in the Harvelle Bar, and Jo shows her file about the disappearance of six blonde girls during the last eighty years in an apartment building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She tries to convince the Winchester brothers to bring her to investigate the case; but Dean refuses the request afraid of Ellen's reaction. They break-in the apartment of the last victim and when Sam finds ectoplasm, they realize that a fiend is hunting the location. When they leave the place, they meet Jo with the super and find that she had lied to Ellen telling that she was going to Las Vegas and had just rented the foregoing apartment. Their further investigation discloses that in the past, before the construction of the building, the field was next to a prison and used to execute criminals, including the serial killer H.H. Holmes. When Jo decides to search the last victim behind the walls, she is captured by the evil spirit, and Dean and Sam figures out how to rescue Jo and escape from the wrath of Ellen.
"No Exit" is and engaging but flawed episode of "Supernatural". The story has good moments, like the revelation of Ellen to Jo about her relationship with John Winchester, but I honestly believed Jo was actually sister of Dean and Sam. The greatest flaw of the story is the use of the sledge hammer in the walls of the apartment building does not bring the attention of the super or the dwellers. My vote is eight.
