10 Unscripted Supernatural Moments That Were Kept In The Show
3. Dean Eating The Lizard
Wayward Sisters focused mainly on Claire, Alex, Jodie, Donna, Kaia and Patience being a backdoor pilot episode for the spin-off series Wayward Sisters, which unfortunately didn’t get greenlit. Although Sam and Dean were not in the episode as much - they were trapped in an alternative universe named The Bad Place - we see glimpses of the brothers finding ways to survive. One being cooking and eating a lizard.
As Dean was munching down on a cooked lizard, Sam looks on in disgust with Dean claiming that it doesn’t taste bad but it defiantly tastes like lizard. During the scene, the brothers hear some not-so-friendly noises coming toward them, causing them to uproot from their spot to find a new safe place. However, we see Dean hilariously run back to pick up his lizard before running away again.
This little move was improvised by Jensen Ackles, who claimed that “Dean doesn’t leave food.” So, it felt very much in character to show Dean running back to retrieve the unfinished lizard. This ad-lib, again, proves how much the actors understood their characters as well as knowing that the fans would also understand the small things that their characters do.
