Sam plays along to be nice, but the brothers know his mother killed him. Then it turns out she didn't.

* EmbarrassingRingtone: The evil spirit children trapped Sam and Dean along with many patrons at a hotel convention. To get the spirits to free everyone, Sam and Dean recruited an actress to play the ghost of the stern, turn-of-the-century school mistress (who Sam and Dean mistakenly banished earlier) to scare the ghost boys into releasing the hold on the hotel. Everything was going well until the actress' cell phone rang with a jaunty hip-hop tune. Cue her OhCrap moment as the evil spirit children smiled menacingly, realizing she wasn't the school mistress and they had no reason to be scared.

* {{Retcon}}: Becky explains that Bela actually gave the Colt to Crowley instead of Lilith. Justified in that she effectively did, just that Lilith would most likely send a henchman to get one of the few weapons that could kill her. The show has also lampshaded Bela's propensity to twist the truth.
