A/N: Look, I was gonna write Heart but honestly, it's just hella sad and I'd rather not. I rewatched the episode today and honestly have just finished crying. So sorry to disappoint folks.

After Sam had to shoot the first girl he had a connection with since Jess as she was a werewolf, Dean and Ellie have been very careful around him, making sure he was okay even though he definitely wasn't. Ellie knows he wasn't as after he shot Madison, Ellie had to hug him while he sobbed, she had never seen that before and it broke her heart. After that, he kinda shut down so Ellie and Dean made it their prerogative to make their brother feel better. 

LOS ANGELES, WARNER BROS. STUDIO

Sam, Dean and Ellie are taking part in the trolley tour of the studio, passing by move and television sets. Dean is looking around like an excited child. Ellie nudges Sam who is in full business mode and points at their brother's expression. Sam gives out a small smirk and then turns back looking at the sets. Dean turns to a kid next to him.
"Hey, you know this is where they filmed "Creepshow"?" Dean tells the kid, the boy looks at him like he's an idiot and says nothing.
"Now, to the right, here is Stars Hollow. It's the setting for the television series Gilmore Girls. And if we're lucky, we might even catch one of the show's stars." The tour guide states, Sam looks uncomfortable and turns to Dean and Ellie, Dean gives him a thumbs up.
"Come on." Sam says, Ellie nods while Dean looks disappointed.
"Let's finish the tour!" Dean tells them, Ellie rolls her eyes as her and Sam hop off the trolley.
"Dean!" Sam shouts, Dean hops off as well, and they continue walking around the lot. Dean looks excited as he sees a middle aged man. "Sammy, El, check it out, it's Matt Damon!" Dean points, Ellie looks at the man and raises her eyebrows.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not Matt Damon." Ellie tells him. 
"No, it is." Dean states adamantly. 
"Well, Matt Damon just picked up a broom and started sweeping." Sam adds on. 
"Yeah, well, he's probably researching a role or something." Dean starts. Ellie shakes her head. 
"Ahh... I don't think so." Ellie says. Sam notices a sign. 
"Hey, this way, uh, I think Stage 9 is over here." Sam points. 
"Come on, man, let's keep going this way." Dean whines to his brother, Ellie chuckles slightly at Dean's childish behaviour. 
"No come on, we've gotta work." Sam states, Ellie and Dean both sigh. "Look, it was you two that suggested to come to L.A." Sam says.
"This seem like swimming pool weather to you, Dean? I mean, it's practically Canadian." Sam explains. 
"Yeah, I mean, we just kinda figured that, you know, after everything that happened with... Madison, y-you could use a little R-and-R, that's all." Ellie says with a soft smile.
"Well, maybe I wanna work, El. Maybe it keeps my mind off things." Sam tells her. 
"Okay, okay, all right. So, this crew guy - what did he, he died on set?" Dean asks. 
"Yeah, uh, rumours spreading like wildfire online. They're saying the set's haunted." Sam explains. 
"Like 'Poltergeist'?" Dean asks.
"Could be a poltergeist." Sam says, Ellie smirks a bit and shakes her head.
"No, no, no. Like, the movie "Poltergeist"." Ellie explains, Sam shrugs. "You know nothing of your cultural heritage, do you? It was rumored that the set of "Poltergeist " was cursed. That they used real human bones as ,uh, as props. And, like at least three of the actions died in it." Dean smirks at Ellie's knowledge.
"That's my girl." Dean says, Ellie smiles and winks at this. 
"Well, yeah, it might be something like that." Sam guesses.
"All right, so this crew guy - what's his name?" Dean asks.
"Frank Jaffey." Sam answers.
"Frank Jaffey - he got a death certificate or a coroner's report or anything?" Ellie questions her brother.
"Well, no. But, uh, it's LA, you know? It might not even be his real name. But the girl who found him, she said she saw something - a vanishing figure." Sam states.
"What's the girl's name?" Ellie asks. 
"Uh, Tara Benchley?" Sam asks, Dean's eyes widen and he starts grinning with fannish enthusiasm. 
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Tara Benchley? From "Fear.com" and "Ghost Ship", Tara Benchley? Dudem why didn't you say so?" Dean says quickly, Ellie and Sam look at him with raised eyebrows. 
"So now, you're suddenly on board?" Sam questions in amusement. 
"Oh, I just - I mean, I'm a fan of her work. It's very good." Dean tells them trying to play it cool, he walks away, Ellie and Sam exchange a look and follow.
