In the Morgue Daytime, Sarah, Sam and Dean , wearing suits, hold up FBI badges and Dean says "Agents Page, Plant and Jones FBI." Doctor asks "Gentlemen and Lady,What brings you by?" Sam says "We need to see Amber Freer's body." Doctor asks "Really? What for?" Sarah says "Well the police report said something clawed through her skull?" Doctor asks "You didn't read the autopsy report that I emailed out this morning?" Sam says "W-we had, uh, server issues." The Doctor walks away, the three of them follows him and the Doctor opens one of the freezers and pulls out the slab with Amber's body and he tosses back the sheet from her head "When they brought her in, we thought she was attacked by a wolf or something." Dean asks "Or Something?" Doctor says "But we were wrong." The Doctor picks up a plastic bag from the slab and shows it to Sarah, Dean and Sam.

Sam is the first to speak up and he asks the doctor, "Is that a—" Doctor says "It's a press-on nail we found it in her temporal lobe." Sarah asks "Is that even possible?" Dean says "Wait, are you—you saying that she did this to herself?" Doctor says "Uh-huh she scratched her brains out, it would take hours, and it'd hurt like hell, but sure—it's possible." Dean asks "How?" Doctor says "Pick your acronym—OCD, PCP. It all spells crazy." Sam pulls back the sheet a little further Amber's right hand has four press-on nails still attached; the middle finger has nothing "My guess, some kind of phantom itch. I mean, an extreme case, but..." Sam says "Phantom itch?" Doctor says "Yup." 

The Doctor covers Amber's head and slides the slab back into the freezer, closing the door "All it takes is someone talking about an itch—or thinking about one, even—and suddenly you can't stop scratching." Sarah says "Thanks, doc." Sam scratches under his collar, Sarah scratches her neck and Dean scratches his ear, after they had left the morgue they went to where the babysitter was last seen, Inside Jimmy's House Living Room, Daytime Sam is sitting in the armchair in Jimmy's 's family's living room, holding a notebook and pen, and Jimmy's father and Francine are sitting on the sofa, Sarah is sitting on the other chair and Dean is wandering around behind them, Sam says "Okay. Okay, now, some of these questions might seem a bit odd, but please just bear with me, Have you noticed any cold spots in the house?" Jimmy's Father says "Uh...no."

Then Sarah speaks up and she asks the couple, "Okay, uh, what about strange smells?" Dean looks around a corner, Jimmy is there "Whatcha lookin' for?" Dean says "Don't know yet." Dean walks up to Jimmy "It's, uh, Jimmy, right?" Jimmy nods "So, Amber was your babysitter?" Jimmy says "Yes, sir." Dean says "Yeah, most of my babysitters sucked, Especially Ms. Chancey. She only cared about two things Dynasty and bedtime." That causes Dean to chuckle, but he continues by saying, "So did you, uh, you see anything strange that night?" Jimmy says "No, sir." Dean asks "You sure about that?"

Jimmy says "I—I would tell you if I knew something

Jimmy says "I—I would tell you if I knew something." Dean doesn't say anything he just stares at Jimmy who continues by saying, "I promise, One hundred percent cross my heart."  Dean looks back over his shoulder, then back at Jimmy "Well, Jimmy, I, uh...I happen to know you're lying." Jimmy says "I'm not." Dean leans down and puts a hand on Jimmy's shoulder "We gonna start talking truth, or are you and me gonna have to take a little trip downtown?" Outside of the House, Sarah, Dean and Sam are leaving and Dean holds up a packet of itching powder "Kid said he put this on the babysitter's hairbrush." Sam says "Dean, there's no way—itching powder made that girl scratch her brains out because it's just ground-up maple seeds, If you have any other theories, I'm open to 'em."
