Sam and Dean work a case at the same place where the boys from Hell Hound's Lair, Ed Zeddmore and Harry Spangler, are shooting the pilot for their reality show Ghostfacers.

'These idiots. Really?' Dean commented as soon as he saw them.

'Aren't they the ones you met a few episodes ago?' John questioned.

Every leap year, beginning at midnight, a ghost who used to be a janitor at a local hospital kills people and keeps their corpses at the Morton House for company. Their spirits remain trapped in the house as well as any living person in the house at midnight.

'Please tell me that they don't get trapped in your house with you' Mary said.

Sam and Dean become trapped in the house with the Ghostfacers crew and must figure out how to kill the ghost as it hunts them one by one.

'How do you always manage to find yourselves in these kind of situations?' Mary asked.

'No idea.' Sam replied.

'You two do seem to have a talent for getting into situations like this.' Cas said, with a fond smile.

The scene cuts to Harry Spangler and Ed Zeddmore are dressed up, sitting in front of a fireplace in chairs a la Masterpiece Theatre, touting their new pilot as the bold new future of "reality TV." Cue the Ghostfacers intro, showing Ed, Harry, Spruce, Maggie, Corbett, Sam and Dean through shaky camera work in what looks like a haunted house setting.

'This looks like an awful TV show.' Jo commented.

'Yeah. The camera is all shaky.' Bobby added

Ed and Harry pull up in their vintage AMC Gremlin doing the fake slo-mo. They reveal they can start ghost hunting at six o'clock thanks to the flexibility of their jobs at the Kinkos, and they hold their strategy meeting with the team in Ed's parents' garage.

'Of course they have a lame place to discuss strategy.' Dean sighed.

Corbett is the Intern/Cook and very gay, Maggie is Ed's adopted sister, and Spruce is 15/16 Jewish and 1/16 Cherokee, thus making him a "Shamanologist." They review a legend in which every four years on February 29th, Morton House becomes the most haunted place in America.

'It was only a ghost. It wasn't that bad.' Sam commented.

'I swear every haunted house says that it is the most haunted place in America.' Jo added.

The Ghostfacers break into the Morton House, hearing the roar of the Impala and Grand Funk's "We're An American Band" in the background.

'At least they gave us a cool entrance.' Dean commented.

They see Sam and Dean roll by, scoping out the place. The Ghostfacers set up "Command Center One: Eagle's Nest" in the main room and start rolling the cameras, which never stop the entire episode, no matter what horrors happen, much to the ire of Sam and Dean.

'Their cameras were so annoying. They kept shoving them in our faces.' Dean commented.

The Ghostfacers search the house with their instruments, taking readings and run into Sam and Dean, who are impersonating cops. Ed recognises them from their earlier encounter in Texas. Sam and Dean try to get them out of the house by showing them the missing persons reports, but Team 2 records a ghost reliving his horrible death. Sam and Dean figure out they're dealing with a death echo, which isn't the real threat.

'But they didn't die there. That's weird.' Bobby commented.

Corbett then disappears and they don't make it out before midnight, trapping them in the house for the evening.

'That's not good. Why didn't they just listen to you?' Mary said, sighing.

They search the house for Corbett and try to figure out why the death echoes are there, considering that the victims in the death echos didn't die there. They find the office of the home's owner, Freeman Daggett, who was a janitor at the hospital before he died in 1964. He was a survivalist, and took corpses from the morgue to "play" with.

'That's sick.' Jo commented.

They go into another room where Maggie wandered off, and after another EMF surge, Sam disappears.

'I swear one of you is always getting captured.' Mary commented with a smile.

'You'd have thought you'd know better than to separate by now.' Bobby added.

'Whatever.' Dean replied.

After some fake reality show drama involving Maggie and Harry in a compromising position, we see Corbett and Sam tied to chairs at a table with a birthday cake and "It's My Party" playing in the background. A big creepy guy kills Corbett with a spike through the neck, and then slaps a party hat on Sam.

'That's so weird. Why are ghosts always so weird?' Mary commented.

'I guess being stuck in the veil makes people a little crazy.' Sam replied

Dean figures out that a survivalist usually keeps a bomb shelter and heads for the basement, but the basement door locks behind him, separating him and Spruce from the others. The others meanwhile put themselves in a salt circle and see the ghost of Corbett reliving his death.

'Poor guy. He didn't deserve to die.' Sam commented.

Dean finds the bomb shelter just before Sam gets his own spike through the neck. Sam reveals Daggett was the "Norman Bates"-type of lonely and killed himself after stealing the bodies, and each February 29th, he takes people for his "party".

'Wow. That guy was super weird.' Bobby added.

Ed talks to Corbett to get him out of his death echo and manages to get through just in time for Corbett to take on Daggett, who is tossing around Sam, Dean, and Spruce in the basement.

'Not everyday that love is what saves the day.' Mary said, smiling.

Everyone (minus Corbett) leaves alive the next morning, taking Ed and Harry back to the fireplace to lament over the loss of their friend in a completely exploitative way, even showing the typical reality confessional moment.

'Kinda sweet I guess.' John commented.

'A bit cheesy though.' Dean added.

They show their pilot to Sam and Dean, who warn them that revealing such ghostly secrets usually lands them in straight jackets or gets them a punch in the face or both.

'Definitely both.' Sam commented.

Sam and Dean go, but leave a bag behind; Ed pulls out a large electromagnet, which proceeds to erase all the hard drives, including the Ghostfacers pilot.

Everyone laughs.

'Smart.' John said, smiling.

Sam and Dean peel off in the Impala, confessing they didn't think the show was half bad.

'Really?' John added.
