Appearances

7.07 The Mentalists

Angry that other, often fake, psychics are successful while he isn't, Jimmy Tomorrow binds the ghost of Margaret Fox to kill them, targeting the headline acts at the town festival She kills Imelda Graven with her own crystal ball, Grandma Goldy with the planchette from her spirit board, Nikolai Lishin with his cutlery and Camille Thibideaux by breaking her bones. Her sister Kate tries to warn the victims of their impending death.

After burning the bones of Kate, and realising she is not the killer, Sam and Dean dig up Margaret's grave but find it empty. They decide someone has taken her bones in order to bind the ghost. As Dean tries to protect Melanie Golden, Sam returns to visit Jimmy to find who may have bought items necessary to bind a ghost, and Jimmy misdirects him to a house where a Lamaze class is held. Meanwhile Margaret attacks Dean and Melanie.

Realising he's been duped, Sam returns and finds Margaret's skull on an altar and he confronts Jimmy. Jimmy has a gun, but Sam takes it from him, until Jimmy uses his psychic power to take it back. Jimmy reveals that Margret is happy to kill for him, as her abilities were overlooked in her life. Jimmy refuses to let Sam destroy Margaret's bones, and Sam draws his own gun and shoots Jimmy. He finds Margaret's bones in Jimmy's bed, and salts and burns them, destroying the ghost.
