Recap
At the Pierpont Inn in Cornwall, Connecticut, a driver arrives to pick up the boxes belonging to the owner, Susan Thompson. Susan's daughter, Tyler, is sitting with her sister Maggie and complaining that they're packing away her toys. Maggie swears and Tyler echoes it, and Susan jokingly tells them both to watch their mouths. Tyler then goes to her room and looks at her extensive collection of dolls. There is a dollhouse built to resemble the inn, and she takes several dolls and places them in the house. However, she notices that one of them, a deliveryman, is sprawled at the base of the stairs. Tyler hears a scream and goes to investigate, and sees the driver sprawled at the bottom of the stairs, his neck broken and a shattered doll lying next to him...Read the full recap
Episode Quotes
Dean: I just figured after Ava, there'd be, uh, you know, more angst, more droopy music, and staring out the rainy windows (Sam glares) Yeah, I'll shut up now.
Sam: Look, I'm the one who told her to go back home. Now her fiance's dead and some demon has taken her off to God-knows-where. You know? We've been looking for a month now. We got nothing. So I'm not giving up on her, but I'm not going to let other people die, either. We've gotta save as many people as we can.
Dean: Wow, that attitude is just way too healthy for me. I'm officially uncomfortable now. Thank you.

Susan Thompson: What the hell happened out there?
Dean: You want the truth?

Episode Goofs
When Sam is sick in the bathroom nursing his hangover, his image is reflected in the mirror while he talks to Dean. When Dean walks by him, we continue to see a mirrored image of Sam but his cast is on the wrong arm for it to be mirrored, and it is filmed as if it is a "live" shot rather than a mirrored one.
When Dean talks to a hungover Sam, he is seen leaning on the left edge of the door. But when the camera cuts to Sam, Dean's legs are on the right-hand side. Even if the Sam shots are mirrored (see above), Dean's are incorrectly placed.
Cultural References
Dean: Might even run into Fred and Daphne while we're inside
Dean refers here to two members of the Scooby-Doo gang, who first appeared in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and have since appeared in many other cartoons and two feature films. Scooby-Doo and his friends routinely investigate traditional haunts such as the inn in this episode. Unlike what the Winchesters face, the "Scoobies" routinely uncover fake ghosts, usually people trying to scare others for monetary gain.

The Shining
The episode has several references to the 1980 film, The Shining. In the episode, Dean talks to a bartender who knows all about the history of the hotel they are in, similar to a scene in the film with Jack Nicholson. At the hotel, Sam and Dean stay in room 237, which is also the haunted room in The Shining.
