The three are sitting on a trolley with other guests as they get a tour of the studios. Miranda 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."

"Come on." Sam grabs her wrist.

"Wha-- wait, no." She whines. "No, I wanna see somebody. Like Lorelai or-- ooh, or the dude who plays the first boyfriend." Miranda says.

"Come on." Sam hisses, dragging her off of the cart.

"You're no fun." She whines.

"Dean." Sam hisses. Dean gets off, catching up to them.

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

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

"Not at all Matt Damon." Miranda says.

"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.

"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."

"Fine. 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?" Dean asks.

"Could be a poltergeist." Sam shrugs

"No, no, like the movie Poltergeist." Dean says. Sam gives him a clueless look. "You know nothing of your cultural heritage, do you? 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?"

"So now you're suddenly interested?" Sam asks.

"Oh, I just-- I mean, I'm a fan of her work. It's very good." Dean says. They walk onto the set, looking around.

"Uh, excuse me, green shirt guy?" A man calls to Dean who points to himself in question. "Yeah, you. Come here." Dean looks at the couple who both shrug and he walks over. "Can you get me a smoothie from craft?"
