** The Ghostfacers are still doing their thing, but are doing it slightly better than before, thanks to what they learned from the Winchesters (as they grudgingly acknowledge).

Grammar Mistake


* AesopCollateralDamage: The workers of Sandover Bridge & Iron that died before Sam and Dean figured out how to get rid of the ghost. The haunting is what Sam and Dean would consider a very basic salt and burn, but multiple people die because Sam and Dean's memories have been tampered with and they don't recognize the signs of a haunting or know how to get rid the building of a ghost.

Added DiffLines:

* BadBoss: The executive-ghost haunting the office building. His influence makes slacker employees so workaholic that they commit suicide over even small slip-ups.


Added DiffLines:

* ItsAWonderfulPlot: Not the classic "what if our heroes had never been born?" but "what if our heroes had never become monster hunters?" Answer: they'd become hunters anyway, because You Can't Fight Fate.


Added DiffLines:

* LampshadeHanging: Memory-wiped Dean can't understand how ghost hunters are supposed to get shotguns and ammo on demand (there's a waiting period!) or support themselves while on the road... Yeah. Good questions.


Added DiffLines:

* SwappedRoles: Memory-wiped Sam is extremely bored of civilian life and wishes his dreams of hunting monsters could be real, while memory-wiped Dean is perfectly comfortable with life as a corporate exec.

Added quote

Added DiffLines:

->'''Sam:''' I just can't shake this feeling like I... like I don't belong here. You know what I mean? Like I should do something more than sit in a cubicle.
->'''Dean:''' I think most people who work in a cubicle feel that same way.
