Where the RGBs think they're helping a sweet, old lady rid her house of all kinds of ghosts. Being the nice guys they are, Ray takes Mrs. Rogers back to the firehouse (HQ) until this ordeal is over.

Notes from the GBI Historian:

The Ghostbusters Omnibus Timeline and the GBI Timeline places the events of this story in Year Two, 1984.

The containment unit now has new hand print and voice recognition technology.

This idea is never seen again; my personal speculation is that it proved too error prone (due to the technological limitations in 1984) and because this episode proves how easy it would be for a posessing entity to circumvent it. In case files such as "Chronicles of Gozer" we depict the ECU power system as being protected by requiring an authorized computer password and a manual key lock to the switch.

After PKE levels destruct the meter, Egon seems to have the fixed P.K.E Meter hooked up to something. Note the long, thick cord. Up to now, the PKE Meter had been wireless.

My personal answer: it's a power cord connecting to the proton pack, to allow the meter to run off of it instead of it's own battery.
