Wouldn’t it be nice if you could travel back in time? You could fix the mistakes you’ve made. You could warn your past self of poor decisions. You could change the world for the better. But as wonderful as that all sounds, we’re left stuck in the present. We have to live vicariously through the lives of fictional characters on television who travel back in time with ease. Those lucky dogs.

For those of you looking for your next blast from the past, look no further than next week’s episode of “Supernatural,” titled “Bad Boys.” In the episode, Dean takes a trip back in time, which prompts him to reveal a surprising secret to his brother. Here’s the official CW synopsis of “Bad Boys.”

“YOUNG DEAN — Dean (Jensen Ackles) gets a call from an old friend named Sonny (guest star Blake Gibbons) asking for help with a ghost. Sonny runs a home for delinquent boys, and Dean was sent there for stealing food when he was younger. Sam (Jared Padalecki) is stunned he never knew this about his brother and asks for more information, but Dean dodges his questions. Another murder occurs while Sam and Dean are at the house, so they scramble to find the culprit before anyone else dies. Meanwhile, Dean looks up an old girlfriend (guest star Erin Karpluk) and recalls his time at the house.”

Check out a sneak peek of next week’s episode below. Although the video remains in the present, it still promises to be an exciting episode filled with long dormant secrets of the past.

“Supernatural” airs Tuesday nights on The CW.
