Dean and Sam have to face the ghost of Mordecai who has been living in an old Texas farmhouse.

Now, Sam and Dean must stop his spirit from killing any more people who enter the house.

Episode Quotes
 
Dean: Hey, Sam, I dare you to take a swig of this.
Sam: What would I do that for?
Dean: I double dare you!
 
Dean: People believe in Santa Claus - why aren't I getting hooked up every Christmas?
Sam: 'Cause you're a bad person.
 
Dean: Looks like old man Murdoch was a bit of a tagger during his time.
Sam: And after his time, too. The reverse cross was used by satanists for centuries, but the sigil of sulphur didn't show up in San Francisco until the '60's
Dean: Exactly why you never get laid.
 
Sam: What the hell kind of spirit is immune to rock salt?!
 
Sam: We're not gonna start that crap up again!
Dean: Start what up?
Sam: That prank stuff, it's stupid and it always escalates!
Dean: Ah, what's the matter, Sam? You're afraid ya gonna get a little Nair in your shampoo again, huh?
Sam: Alright, just remember you started it.
Dean: Ho ho, bring it on, baldy!
 
Dean: I thought the legend said that Mordecai only goes after chicks?
Sam: He does.
Dean: Right, well I mean that explains why it went after you but why me?
Sam: Hilarious.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Two minutes before the last commercial, about five minutes before the credits start, there are four ghost hunters in the room and two of them shoot the ghost. To stay put in front of the door, one walks backwards out the door and one walks forward beyond the camera shot. Right at this moment, slowly another cameraman walks towards the door directly into the shot. You can see the camera gear and half of his head creep almost a quarter of the way into the shot.
 
In the scene where Dean and Sam buy food at a fast food restaurant, the guy that gives the brother refers to Dean by Jensen, the actor that plays Dean's real name.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Dean: Who you gonna call?

"Who you gonna call?" is the catchphrase from the movie Ghostbusters.
 
Ed: Remember - WWBD. What would Buffy do?

This is a play on the slogan WWJD, an acronym for "What Would Jesus Do?". Ed is also referring to the character Buffy Summers from the WB/UPN series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
 
Ed: No. Would John Edward go?

John Edward is the host of the series, Crossing Over, in which John Edward communicates with the dead for loved ones present in his studio audience.
 
Ecto-Goggles

Zeddemore and Spengler wear "Ecto-Goggles" that are made to look like the goggles worn by Dan Akroyd's character in Ghostbusters II.
