Discussing the plot point where Soldier Boy mentions “fixing up the Impala,” Kripke expressed that he wanted one last reference to the renowned series ‘Supernatural.’ Ackles worked with him for over a decade, for 15 seasons of the thriller show. The tight-knit bond became a pathway for a cherished reunion in the sadistic drama series, ‘The Boys.’ “Knowing that that was going to be Jensen's last scene in the series, we wanted to put in one last reference.

Honestly, [writer Anslem Richardson] wrote, and we shot that it was a Ford. It was, 'Working on the old Ford,’” he said in an interview with Collider, before referencing the car ‘Impala’ that Dean Winchester drove in all the seasons of ‘Supernatural.’Kripke added, “The danger of having (director) Phil Sgriccia and I, sitting next to each other in editing, which we would do, was that we were watching it and Phil was like, 'Should it be 'Impala'?' And I was like, 'Yeah, it should definitely be 'Impala,’” and Jenson happily joined the team.
