Supernatural season 8 episode 1, titled "We Need to Talk About Kevin," picks up where the previous season left off. The episode begins with Dean Winchester being mysteriously freed from Purgatory, a realm inhabited by ferocious supernatural creatures. After escaping, a disheveled and violent Dean reunites with his brother Sam, who has spent the last year without his partner in crime-fighting.

Sam is initially overjoyed to learn that Dean has returned, but quickly realizes that something is not quite right with him. Dean is haunted by his experiences in Purgatory and appears to be suffering from both physical and psychological distress. Sam wants to help his brother but is also grappling with his own demons. He has abandoned his hunter lifestyle and is now living an ordinary life with his girlfriend, Amelia.

Meanwhile, Crowley, the King of Hell, is up to no good. He has teamed up with a powerful witch named Naomi and is working to indoctrinate rogue angels into his legion. As the episode progresses, Dean and Sam find themselves drawn into the conflict between Crowley and the angels as they try to uncover the truth about what happened to Dean in Purgatory.

One of the central themes of this episode is the toll that supernatural hunting takes on the protagonists. Dean's experiences in Purgatory have clearly left him traumatized, and he struggles to readjust to normal life. Sam, too, is struggling to come to terms with the past and is unsure whether he wants to continue hunting. In this sense, the episode suggests that the characters are not superheroes but rather flawed human beings who are dealing with the aftermath of their actions.

Overall, "We Need to Talk About Kevin" sets up the season-long arc for season 8. It introduces new characters and conflicts while also exploring familiar themes of family, trauma, and redemption.
