The Supernatural panel at Comic-Con was back to normal with the return of stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. After ending creator Eric Kripke's five-year plan by sending Sam to Hell and somehow bringing him back, season 6 has a lot of questions to answer.

During the panel the cast talked about what's coming up for their characters, what new episodes and monsters we'll see and they showed a video from the Jensen-directed fourth episode of Supernatural season 6.

Here are the highlights from the panel:

-At the panel they showed a video preview of the fourth episode, "Weekend at Bobby's," directed by Jensen Ackles. The episode will focus on Bobby trying to get out of the deal he made with Crowley to give away his soul at the end of season 5.

-Though Eric Kripke's five-year plan is over, he sees season 6 as a sequel to his Supernatural.

-New showrunner Sera Gamble talked about the driving mythology of season 6 being based on the monsters of the week. We'll see more monsters and their backstories will play into the new season. The show will also get back to simpler things, like shooting monsters in the face.

-How did Sam get out of Hell? "Practice," joked Jared Padalecki, stealing the old line about Carnegie Hall. But in reality, he still doesn't know.

-Dean won't be kissing demons anytime soon. However, Sam and Dean will have some lady drama in an episode featuring a female relative of the Winchesters.

-Misha Collins said that Castiel is still busy cleaning up Heaven in season 6.

-Jim Beaver believes that Hell will freeze over before Bobby gets a girlfriend, so don't hold your breath.

-Ben Edlund is writing an episode about fairies that will feature little people.

-Jensen Ackles revealed that the hardest part of directing was having to pay attention to every single line of dialogue in the script and not just worry about his own character. Jim joked around about wanting to give Jensen a hard time by considering staying in his trailer for 30 minutes after being called to set.

-Everyone would love for Jeffrey Dean Morgan to return, but unfortunately he has a very busy schedule.

-Eric Kripke said that he made some changes to the season 5 finale due to the show coming back, but it mostly stayed the same. He said that if it wasn't renewed, major characters probably would've stayed dead.

Supernatural season 6 premieres September 24 at 9pm.
