Back in the present, Our Intrepid Heroes have arrived at the Carrigan's suburban colonial, and as many have noted on the boards, it looks like a Hallmark store threw up all over it. Dean raps the festively decorated knocker a couple of times, and the door's promptly answered by Madge herself, a rosy-cheeked and preternaturally bubbly matron played by Merrilyn Gann, best known to Everwood loyalists as Rose Abbott.

They moved here in January, and all that Christmas crap in their house? It wasn't boughs of holly -- it was vervain and mint!" "So," Dean guesses, "Ozzie and Harriet are keeping a pagan god hidden underneath their plastic-covered couch?" Sam hasn't a clue, but as it's their likeliest lead thus far, the boys gather up the evergreen stakes and head back over to...
