Maia and Sam stood in the hospital room of a man whose teeth were yanked out with a wrench. The two stared at the man in pity.  His jaw was swollen so much that he could barely drink the water the nurse brought in.

Having all the information they needed Maia and Sam thanked the victim before leaving to go find Dean. Wherever he wandered off to.

Fortunately, they didn't have to search long because Dean was right outside the door flirting with one of the nurses.

"Well, I, uh, appreciate that, nurse... Fremont." Dean read the woman's nametag.

"Please-- call me Jen." The nurse flirted back.

"Oh. Jen it is." Dean flashed her a smile.

Sam cleared his throat causing Dean and Jen to part ways.

"What's up with toothless? Cavity creeps get ahold of him?" Dean joked.

"Yeah. Close. He wrote up a description-- five foot ten, 350 pounds, wings, and a pink tutu. Said it was the tooth fairy." Sam explained.

"So he's obviously whacked out on painkillers," Dean concluded.

"Maybe. Whatever it was got passed locked doors and windows without triggering the alarm." Sam reasoned.

"Come on. The tooth fairy?" Dean questioned.

"And it left thirty-two quarters underneath his pillow-- one for each tooth," Maia added.

"Well, I will see your crazy and raise you some. There's a couple of kids upstairs with stomach ulcers-- say they got it from mixing pop rocks and coke. Another guy... His face froze that way." Dean informed.

"What way?" Sam asked.

Dean looked around before reluctantly placing his hands in the corners of his mouth, forcing himself to smile. He held it for a few seconds before quickly putting his hands back down.

"He, uh, he held it too long, and it-- it stuck. They're flying in a plastic surgeon." Dean further explained.

"Ouch." Maia cringed.

"So, I mean, if you add all that up... I got nothing." Sam sighed.

"I thought sea-monkeys were real," Dean stated.

"They are. They're brine shrimp." Sam reassured.

"No, no, no, I mean like in the ads. You know, like the sea-monkey wife cooks the pot roast for the sea-monkey husband, and the sea-monkey kids play with the dog in a sea-monkey castle-- real. I mean I was six but I believed it." Dean clarified.

"Okay." Sam didn't understand where Dean was going with this.

"Point is... maybe that's the connection. The tooth fairy, the pop rocks and coke, the joy buzzer that shocks you-- they're all lies that kids believe."

"And now they're coming true. Okay, so whatever's doing this is-is reshaping reality. It has the powers of a god. Or... of a trickster."

"Yeah, with the sense of humor of a nine-year-old."

"Or you." Sam insulted Dean and turned to leave when Maia spoke from behind the two.

"Wait a minute, sea monkeys are actually brine shrimp?" The blonde practically shook with rage.

"Uh, yeah. Why?" Sam asked, confused.

"Because I have a cousin to kill that's why," Maia growled, pulling out her phone to search for a number. Once she found it she pressed call and held the phone up to her ear storming to the exit.
