Changes

When Sam and Dean arrive at the Portland Police Department, they ask for the crime scene photos. What they see, Irina's feet blown off and her ballet slippers sitting pristine next to her, make them think that this is a case for them. They request the slippers from the officer in the evidence room, but they're missing. The officer tells them that his daughter Tracy, a ballerina, must have grabbed them, and Sam and Dean run for the girl's bathroom. They arrive in time to see the slippers force Tracy to her feet and spin her in a circle, so they grab her and Dean pulls the slippers off her feet before she is injured. Sam, now sure that the slippers are cursed, is careful not to touch them, but when they're in their [[car |Pontiac Firebird| car]] the shoes somehow move from the trunk to the back seat. Sam comments that the shoes appear to be Dean's size, and Dean admits that he suddenly has a strong urge to dance ballet.

They head into the shop that sold the slippers, ''Out With The Old'', and demand to know where the shopkeeper got them. He tells them that his mother kept the slippers in a special box, which turns out to be a curse box. Sam quickly puts them back inside it before Dean can put the slippers on his feet. They then flash their fake FBI badges and ask the shopkeeper, Scott Freeman, where his mother got the slippers. He doesn't know, but they were with a lot of other items, all in specially crafted boxes. After his mother sold the shop and passed away, he wanted to get rid of all the strange items she'd been collectingin the large safe in her shop. Sam and Dean quickly try to track down the other cursed items that Scott sold. They're too late to save a woman who poured boiling water into her mouth from a cursed teakettle, but Sam is able to stop a boy from stabbing his mother after a cursed gramophone hypnotized him, and Dean is "just in time" to collect a cursed "vintage gentleman's magazine." Back at ''Out With The Old,'' they put the cursed objects, now safely in their curse boxes, back in Ms. Freeman's sigil-decorated safe. Scott is shocked to discover that cursed objects are real, but happy to know that his mother wasn't crazy. He regrets pushing her to sell the shop, especially because she seemed so against it. When Dean finds out that Ms. Freeman died in a car accident the day after selling the shop to a pushy real estate agent, he's suspicious. He tells Scott not to feel guilty because it won't bring his mother back, and then he leaves after saying that he and Sam will be back with a U-Haul to take the safe off Scott's hands. Once outside, he sees the real estate agent's sign in the shop window, and then notices that the same sign is on every small shop on the block. He decides to do some research.
