* CreditsGag: The episode holds off on playing the gag of the "Chucky" logo made of various objects. Instead, we get an extended opening of Caroline and Chucky getting into a taxi with the cabbie played by Creator/KenanThompson. After Chucky murders him, his name is then credited, and then we get to the logo.

Tiffany is tried for Jennifer Tilly’s murders.
———

to:

Chucky's complex motivations are revealed. Tiffany is tried for Jennifer Tilly’s murders.
———
Tilly's murder spree.
----
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Nica recites at trial all the things that Tiffany did to her: kidnapping her, dismembering her limbs, holding her hostage... and making her watch ''Film/LiarLiar'' on loop. The last part is what really disturbs the court.
* BackForTheDead: Subverted with Andy -- Chucky appears to track him down and finally kill him, only for it to turn out to just be a DreamSequence.
* BecomingTheMask: As part of her InsanityDefense, Tiffany's lawyer claims this happened to Jennifer Tilly after she played Tiffany in ''Chucky Goes Psycho'', the in-universe film from ''Film/SeedOfChucky''.
* CourtroomEpisode: Half of the episode focuses on Tiffany being put on trial for the crimes she's committed as Jennifer Tilly.
* DivinePunishment: The exorcism that Chucky was involved with last season offended Damballa, so the voodoo god has cut Chucky off from his power, trapping Chucky in a doll body that is rapidly starting to age.
* HowWeGotHere: This episode plugs the gap between the end of Season 2 and start of Season 3, showing how Chucky ended up in the White House.
* LogicalWeakness: Chucky and Caroline escape the pursing Nica just by going down some stairs into a subway station, which the wheelchair-bound Nica obviously can't follow them down.
* TheReveal: Chucky has made his way to the White House and started killing people there in order to fulfill a ritual that will reconnect him to Damballa, after the voodoo god rejected him for having been involved in Catholicism (via the exorcism last season).
* SarcasticConfession: While on trial, Tiffany tells her full life story (her real name, how she died and became a doll, possessing Jennifer Tilly, etc.), knowing that the court won't believe her, so that her lawyer can go for an InsanityDefense.
* ShoutOut:
** The episode is named after ''Film/JennifersBody''.
** During his DreamSequence of finally killing Andy, Chucky references ''Literature/MobyDick''.
** Chucky travels to [[Film/TheAmityvilleHorror1979 the Amityville house]] during his first attempt at enacting the murder ritual.
* WitchDoctor: Chucky goes to see one when his doll body starts aging, who happens to be a regular doctor in a regular office who just specializes in voodoo-related matters.
