The next morning, Our Intrepid Heroes arrive at the sweatshop in time to watch as the boys from the local coroner's office zip the dead gnome into an especially bitty little body bag. Sam and Dean then take off in different directions to investigate the premises, with Sam surreptitiously extracting his trusty EMF reader from his jacket pocket to futz around with the thing on one side of the room while Dean chills out in a corner, staring up gape-mouthed at the overhead fluorescents like he's an especially slow six-year-old. Eventually, Sam's trusty EMF reader goes "VWEEE-YORP!" next to a pile of mannequin parts, and Sam excitedly calls Dean over for a consult, during which they eventually reach the conclusion that an especially nasty ghost has been possessing inanimate objects in order to eviscerate the working-class population of northern New Jersey. Just go with it. And don't stop to wonder how a ghost can force a chunk of injection-molded thermoplastic to grip a pair of scissors without the whole damn thing shattering into a thousand tiny pieces, either, because you'll just make your brain hurt, and who wants that, huh? "No one!" Exactly, Raoul. "[Slurp!]"

Anyway, there's one problem with their current theory of the crime: Ghosts aren't particularly known for venue hopping. "This one hits up a college," Dean points out, "and now a factory, what, three towns over?" "Doesn't add up," Sam agrees, but as they have no other options at the moment, it's off to...

...the sweatshop's personnel office, where a quick review of the gnome's employment records proves especially disappointing. "I can't find a speck of dirt on him!" Dean grumps. Sam, however, has spent the last several minutes deploying his mad Googling skillz, and has landed on a possible lead: An article from The Passaic Observer dated last year detailing the disappearance of one Rose Brown, a sweatshop seamstress who vanished one Friday evening on her way home from work. "Survived by sister Isabel," Sam reads, popping a significant eyebrow in Dean's direction, and the boys quickly agree to drop in on Rose Brown's grieving sibling for a chat. Unfortunately, Dean's cell phone bleats again, and it's Bendy Lisa -- again -- only this time, Sam insists Dean answer.
