In the next episode of the horror fantasy TV series "Supernatural," Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) and his brother Dean (Jensen Ackles) race against time to save their mother Mary (Samantha Smith) from the alternate dimension.

The trailer and promotional photos for the upcoming installment titled "The Bad Place" was released just recently and showed the Winchester brothers in their car driving through the night. "You were right about mom," Dean says to his brother. It seems the sibling hunters have put everything aside in order to locate their missing mother. "We've got to find her fast," Sam says with urgency. Apparently, Mary got trapped in an alternate dimension last season when she tried to save her sons. Now, she is stuck with no way to get out of there. Mary is then shown fastened in a metal cage where she cannot move her body.

In the meantime, Jack (Alexander Calvert) is out on his own but devising a way to locate the Winchesters' mom. Apparently, he wants to prove to Sam and Dean that he is a good person at heart and is looking for a way to locate and bring back their mom from the hidden dimension. He decides to get the help of a dreamcatcher named Kaia (Yadira Guevara-Prip) to pinpoint the location of Mary. It remains to be seen if the Winchesters will meet up with Jack on their way to saving their mom.

In the last episode, Sam and Dean joined a heist to retrieve a mysterious trunk for an evil being named Barthamus (David Cubitt). They ended up killing Barthamus in order to release Smash (Christie Burke) from his spell. In the end, the brothers did not get the locater spell from Barthamus.

"Supernatural" season 13 episode 9 will hit the small screen on Thursday, Dec. 7, at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
