It's Halloween, but the camp's party is interrupted by the arrival of casualties. To pass the time during surgery, the doctors and Margaret swap ghost stories...aside from a skeptical Winchester. Father Mulcahy arrives back from the orphanage in time to perform the Last Rites on a soldier who may have been given his toe tag a little prematurely.

* MistakenDeathConfirmation: One of the soldiers on the bus was already declared dead at the aid station, but they put the body on the bus because the aid station was evacuating. It turns out to be a good thing they did, because when Mulcahy goes to administer Last Rites, he notices the soldier is ''[[OnlyMostlyDead moving]]''.
