I'm currently editing JIB11 and they're still bringing The French Mistake up in answers. It's such an iconic episode. In terms of AU and how they got there - don't think too hard about it lol. 7 seasons apart from where we're at now, lore isn't always consistent haha! I mean this one had the bone of a saint and the we needed blood of a holy man... there's some similarities lol. Maybe they didn't know what world they'd be sent to? It's just a random jump into a random universe? Also angels are full power now, the ones in season 13 have no wings and are less powerful ;)

Lol, I thought the same thing when Shelley mentioned it. In later seasons, small things do not always perfectly sync with what we have seen. We got used to letting small things slide for purposes of the overall story.

Hi Shelley! Thanks so much for sharing this rewatch, and thank you to whoever requested it. I love this episode so much. It’s one of the few I saw way before I actually got into the show. My friend made me watch it and I thought it was hilarious even without knowing who anyone was. My friend gave me the basic background I needed to appreciate it. In my head, Sam and a Dean aren’t in a true AU or a legitimate place. I don’t think the French Mistake world "exists" anywhere in the Supernatural Universe outside of the time when we see it. I think they are in more like a temporary little bubble world, like how the Trickster could put Sam and Dean in the Changing Channels "world." They are maybe in a shifted plane, but not a true universe like Apocalypse World. I think an Angel could do this at the time on the show, since both Gabriel and Zachariah could manipulate reality a lot. I think Balthazar needed a spell because it was a big task to conjure up the world, but I don’t think he could open a true rift to a "real" universe (if they’d had them at the time in the show). This also satisfies me in how Virgil was able to contact Raphael in a world without the supernatural; Balthazar either left in a loophole or escape hatch, or the angel magic was strong enough to get through the illusion they were in. This is how I make sense of things anyway. 🤷‍♀️
