Supernatural: Houses of the Holy
The Winchester brothers look into the murders of several people who say they were visited by an angel and were simply carrying out God's will.

However, Dean soon changes his belief when he sees the unexplainable.

Sam: So, no disturbances lately?
Gloria: You mean am I stark raving cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?
Gloria: You mean am I stark raving cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?

Dean: Hey, you know what, there's a ton of lore on unicorns, too. I hear they ride on silver moonbeams, and they shoot rainbows out of their ass.
Sam: Wait, there's no such thing as unicorns?
Dean: That's cute.
Sam: Wait, there's no such thing as unicorns?
Dean: That's cute.

Sam: I'm laughing on the inside.
Sam: I'm laughing on the inside.
Dean: Did you bring quarters?
Sam: Dude... I'm not enabling your sick habit. You're like one of those lab rats that pushes the pleasure button instead of the food button until it dies.

Father Reynolds: So, you're interested in joining the parish?
Dean: Yeah, well you know, we just don't feel right unless we hit church every Sunday.
Father Reynolds: So where'd you say you lived before?
Sam: Uh...
Dean: Freedmont, Texas.
Sam: Yep.
Father Reynolds: Really? That's a nice town. St. Theresa's parish. You must know the priest there.
Dean: Sure, yeah... no, it's Father... O'Malley.
Father Reynolds: I know a Father Shaughnessy.
Dean: Shaughnessy. Exactly... what did I say?
Dean: Yeah, well you know, we just don't feel right unless we hit church every Sunday.

Dean: Let me guess, you were personally chosen to smite some sinner. You just got to wait for some divine bat signal, is that it?
Dean: I'll tell you who else had faith like that. Mom. She used to tell me when she tucked me in that angels were watching over us. In fact, that was the last thing she ever said to me.
Sam: You never told me that.
Dean: What's to tell? She was wrong. There was nothing protecting her. There's no higher power, there's no God. There's just chaos, violence, random unpredictable evil, that comes outta nowhere, rips you to shreds.
Sam: You never told me that.
Dean: What's to tell? She was wrong. There was nothing protecting her. There's no higher power, there's no God. There's just chaos, violence, random unpredictable evil, that comes outta nowhere, rips you to shreds.
Dean: If Father Gregory's spirit is around, the séance will bring him right to us. If it's him, then we'll put him to rest.
Sam: What if it's an angel and won't show? Nothing will happen.
Dean: Exactly. It's one of the perks of the job, Sam, we don't have to operate on faith. We can know for sure. Don't you want to know for sure?
Sam: What if it's an angel and won't show? Nothing will happen.
Dean: Exactly. It's one of the perks of the job, Sam, we don't have to operate on faith. We can know for sure. Don't you want to know for sure?
Sam: Dude, all right, I'll admit, we've gone pretty ghetto with spellwork before, but this takes the cake. I mean, a Spongebob placemat instead of an altar cloth?
Dean: We'll just put it Spongebob-side down.
Dean: We'll just put it Spongebob-side down.
Father Reynolds: What are you doing? What is this?
Sam: Father, please, I can explain. Um... actually, maybe I can’t. Um, this is, uh, a séance.
Father Reynolds: A séance? Young man, you are in a house of God.
Sam: It’s based on early Christian rites if that helps any.

Episode Goofs
When Dean plays a song on his cell phone, it says that he's playing Led Zeppelin's "Kashimir", but Jamie Dunlap's "Down on Love" is playing instead.
When Zack's lamp shakes, falls off the table, and breaks, when the lamp is lying on the floor the bulb is still on despite it breaking.
When Zack's television falls off the table, the cord is neatly tied up and clearly not long enough to plug into anything.
The tombstone stated that the priest died in 2007, but some claimed that he died at least two months ago. Assuming that the episode doesn't take place on a date after its premiere (Feb 1st, 2007) the priest's stone should have said 2006.
