'''60:00:00 Earlier'''<br>
Dean answers a ringing pay phone with the code phrase "I am the egg manEggman." It is [[Frank Devereaux]], and he reports that he doesn't have any leads on [[Dick Roman]] or what he's doing in the field in Wisconsin. Dean hangs up and asks Sam if they have anything on the [[Amazons]] who escaped them in the last episode. Sam says no, then tells Dean that he has a new case in Kansas. Dean agrees to take it and they head to Wichita in two separate cars.
At the morgue in Wichita, they examine the body of a man who appears to have been killed by a 30-foot giant Pacific octopus with vampire teeth. They don't learn anything from the victim's widow, but she tells them to talk to Stacey, their nanny. While Sam stays to watch the house, Dean goes to question the nanny and finds out that the victim's daughter, Kelly, was very upset the night of the attack. She'd had a birthday party at ''Plucky Pennywhistle's Magic Menagerie,'' but her mother was out of town and her father only showed up briefly before going back to work. Dean asks Stacey if she noticed anything weird in the house that night, and she says no, but that Kelly thinks there's a monster in her closet. Dean calls Sam and tells him to talk to the daughter alone if he can.
Dean consults [[John's Journal]] while Sam looks online for a possible culprit, but they don't find anything. Sam decides to go back to ''Plucky Pennywhistle's'' and intimidate all the employees, and he tells Dean that he needs to keep watch and see who acts suspiciously.
Sam starts with Jean, and he learns that she was recently promoted to shift manager over some of the other employees. He uses a "bad cop" technique to freak her out and, after she leaves, Dean follows her to see what she does. He sees her lighting a joint in the back alley and texts Sam to let him know that she's not the killer.
