In Supernatural season 11 episode 8 "Just My Imagination," Sam and Dean investigate a case where imaginary friends are turning into killers. The episode opens with a young girl being attacked by her imaginary friend, which prompts the Winchester brothers to investigate. They quickly discover that this is not an isolated incident, and that there are multiple cases of people being attacked by their imaginary friends.

Sam and Dean are initially skeptical about the existence of imaginary friends, but they soon come to realize that they are very real and can have dangerous consequences. They interview a few of the victims and learn that they all had imaginary friends as children, but they had long since forgotten about them. However, their imaginary friends never forgot about them and continued to live on in their imaginations.

The brothers soon discover that the imaginary friends are being hunted by a creature called a zanna, which feeds on their energy. The zanna are attracted to the strong emotional connections that children have with their imaginary friends, and when those connections become too weak, the zanna will kill the imaginary friend and move on to a new host.

Sully is a colorful and playful character who helps Sam and Dean in their investigation. He is a zanna himself, but he is a "good" zanna who protects imaginary friends from the "bad" zanna. Sully has been watching over his human friend, a young girl named Maddie, for many years. Maddie is now an adult and no longer believes in him, but Sully still cares for her deeply.

The brothers team up with Sully to track down the zanna and stop them from killing any more imaginary friends. They are able to find the nest of the zanna and kill them all, but not before one of the imaginary friends named Sparkle is killed. This is a particularly emotional moment for Sully, who had been close friends with Sparkle for many years.

In the end, Sam and Dean convince Maddie to believe in Sully again and to rekindle their friendship.
