The Winchesters are sitting on a trolley with other guests as they get a tour of the studios. Natalie and Sam are sitting in one row while Dean is behind them and sitting next to a kid.

"First opened in 1927, the lot has been in continuous operation for eight decades." The guide says. "Now, to the right, here is Stars Hollow. It's the setting for the television series, Gilmore Girls. And if we're lucky, we might even catch one of the show's stars."

"Ooh." Natalie perks up, looking out for any of the actors.

"Come on." Sam grabs her wrist, dragging her off the cart.

"Wha-- Sammy." She whines. She used to watch that show all the time with Jess.

"No." Sam says. "Dean." He hisses. Dean gets off, catching up to them.

"Sammy, Natty, check it out. It's Matt Damon." Dean excitedly points out.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not Matt Damon." Sam says.

"Definitely not." Natalie agrees.

"No, it is." Dean argues.

"Well, Matt Damon just picked up a broom and started sweeping." Sam says.

"Yeah, well, he's probably researching a role or something." Dean says. Sam and Natalie look at each other and both roll their eyes.

"I don't think so, Dean." Sam mutters. "Hey, this way. Uh, I think stage 9 is over here."

"Come on, man, let's keep going this way."

"No, come on, we've gotta work." Sam says and Dean sighs. "Dude, you wanted to come to L.A."

"Yeah, for a vacation. I mean, swimming pools and movie stars. Not to work." Dean says.

"This seem like swimming weather to you, Dean?" Sam asks, motioning to the cloudy sky. "I mean, it's practically Canadian."

"Yeah. I just figured that, you know, after everything that happened with... Madison, you could use a little R&R, that's all." Dean says.

"Well, maybe I wanna work, Dean. Maybe it keeps my mind off things." Sam says.

"Okay, okay, all right. So, this crew guy, what did he-- he died on set?" Dean asks.

"Yeah, uh, rumors spreading like wildfire online. They're saying the set's haunted."

"Like Poltergeist?" Natalie and Dean ask.

"Okay, it's just creepy when you two do it." Sam grimaces. "But could be a poltergeist."

"No, no, not a poltergeist. Like the movie set of Poltergeist." Natalie says. Sam shrugs cluelessly. 

"You know nothing of your cultural heritage, do you?" Dean asks. "It was rumored that the set of Poltergeist was cursed. That they used real human bones as, uh, as props. And, like, at least three of the actors died in it."

"Well, yeah, it might be something like that." Sam says.

"All right, so this crew guy, what's his name?" Dean asks.

"Frank Jaffey." Sam informs.

"Frank Jaffey. He got a death certificate or a coroner's report or anything?"

"Well, no. But, uh, it's L.A., you know? It might not even be his real name. But the girl who found him, she said she saw something -- a vanishing figure."

"What's this girl's name?"

"Uh, Tara Benchley."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Tara Benchley?" Dean grins. "From Feat.com and Ghost Ship, Tara Benchley? Dude, why didn't you say so?"
