Very interesting news from EW's Michael Ausiello.  It turns out next season Friday Night Lights star Adrianne Palicki will return to Supernatural as Jessica, Sam's girlfriend who was killed by Azazel in the Pilot.

Exactly how or why Palicki will return is still anybody's guess.  Is this just another one of Sam's visions or memories he's had of her before?  Another dream sequence like in "What Is and What Never Should Be"?  Or is this something else entirely?

Given the major revelation's about Azazel's intentions during the Supernatural season 4 finale, it makes Jessica's death even more suspicious.  Was she killed simply in order to put Sam back on the path to hunt demons, use his psychic powers and kill Lilith to free Lucifer?

If so, Jessica's death was even more important than it first seemed, and perhaps there was more to her character than we first thought.  Maybe she wasn't so clueless about demons and the Winchester legacy.

Find out why Jessica is coming back when Supernatural returns for season 5 September 10 on the CW.
