Dean, dressed in a suit and tie, gets up and goes to work at 6 am. Metal plays in his car and he turns it to NPR. He arrives at his office and works diligently. He has a salad for lunch and exchanges diet recipes. At the end of the day, he gets in the elevator and Sam asks if he knows him. Dean says no and Sam tells him he looks really familiar.

Sam goes to his job as a tech support agent in the same building. Sam and his buddy Ian get coffee in the break room. Ian asks Sam if he's had any of his strange dreams lately. Sam admits he dreamed that he saved a grim reaper named Tessa from demons. Sam returns to his desk and images of him and Dean fighting demons pop into his head. He then gets into the elevator and sees Dean. The two exchange awkward glances and the elevator empties out, leaving them alone. Sam asks Dean what he thinks about ghosts. Dean says he never gave it much thought. Sam then asks about vampires and explains that he's been having weird dreams. Dean says he doesn't know what he's talking about. Dean tells Sam that he does't know him and he over shares. Sam goes back to his desk and looks at pictures of vampires on the internet. Ian walks up and asks if he got an email from human resources. Sam says no and tells Ian he is probably finally getting busted for stealing office supplies. Sam then hears his coworker Paul having problems with his computer. After the offices have closed, Paul sits at his desk in the dark trying to recover his lost files. He then gets up and microwaves his head.

Sam watches as Paul's body is removed from the office. He looks up and sees Dean. Dean talks to his co-worker about the incident, then researches Paul online. Meanwhile, Sam asks Ian why Paul would have killed himself two weeks before he retired. Ian tells Sam he is too busy. Sam asks Ian what is wrong with him and notices he shaved and is wearing the proper uniform. Ian tells Sam he has to talk to a manager. Ian goes to Dean and he tells Ian that he filled out a form incorrectly. Ian freaks out, but Dean tells him it's no big deal. Ian apologizes profusely, then runs out of the room. Dean follows him to the bathroom and tells him to chill out. Dean then sees his breath and the soap dispensers start to overflow. Ian pulls out a pencil and stabs himself in the neck. Dean sees an old man in the mirror, but he is gone when he turns around. Ian dies and Dean calls for help.

Dean tells the EMTs that he followed Ian into the bathroom and he stabbed himself in the neck. Dean looks up and sees Sam. He then calls Sam and demands he come to his office. Dean asks Sam who he is. Sam tells him he is Sam Wesson and he started three weeks ago. Dean reminds him that he talked about ghosts in the elevator. Dean tells him he started three weeks ago too. Sam asks Dean if he saw something in the bathroom. Dean says he doesn't know. Sam asks if he saw a ghost. Sam goes on to say that he thinks the suicides aren't suicides and they are unnatural. Dean asks what Sam's theory is based on and Sam says instinct. Dean says he has the same instincts. Sam tells Dean that he was dreaming about ghosts and now there are real ghosts. Sam says he was digging and found a connection between the two guys. Dean notices that Sam broke into the victim's email accounts. Sam says they both got emails from Human Resources. Dean asks if they should check it out and Sam says he is dying to check it out.

A man walks up to room 1444. He walks in and calls out, but no one responds. The door slams shut behind him and he is locked inside. Sam and Dean arrive and the ghost appears. The ghost throws Sam and Dean and is about to electrocute them. Dean fights off the ghost before he attacks. Sam asks how Dean knew how to fight off the ghost and Dean says he has no idea.
