As for Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, Padalecki can easily name the scripts that have made him cry — “Heart,” “Sacrifice,” “Bloodlust” and “Baby” all make the list. The common thread is a heartfelt moment between brothers.
Specifically, Padalecki recalls the scene from “Baby” in which Sam wakes up from a nap and tells Dean about his visions. “The weird juxtaposition of what the boys are going through right next to reality is what makes this show what it is,” Padalecki says. “I feel like those situations where we treat the abstract and the fantastical as just part of life is where the show thrives.”
Ackles, after pulling up the scene on his phone for them to watch, adds, “After we did that scene, he and I looked at each other like, ‘We should just do that more often.‘”
“If you’re going to do something that makes a difference, then it has to mean something to you,” Padalecki says. “Scenes like that mean something to me.”
For Ackles, the show’s at its best when it combines a scene like that with a little something else. “I think the show is at its best when it finds a way to blend scenes like that with horror and comedy,” he says. “I think the show is truly at its best when it doesn’t take itself too seriously, then it does take itself seriously, then it gets scary as s—. In my opinion, that’s when we’re in the pocket.”

So their answer is brothers episodes about brothers doing brother stuff in a brotherly brother way. Brothers.
