!!Tropes present in this episode:

* SpringtimeForHitler: After switching bodies, Mabel decides to sabotage Dipper's chance of getting the room by insulting Stan. This backfired, with Stan being impressed that "Dipper" is standing up for him, and gives the key to the room to him.

Meanwhile, Waddles-in-Soos, Soos-in-Waddles, Deputy Durland, Sherrif Blubs, and Old Man [=McGucket=] (who was about to eat Soos-In-Waddles) wind up in the room, and rampant body swapping ensues. However, it is all sorted out, but Dipper and Mabel still fight over the room. However, they both realise that neither wanted to move out of the attic in the situation. Mabel surrenders the room to Dipper, but he winds up moving back into the attic before the first night is over, due to the sheer loneliness of the situation (both feel lonely that night). Dipper ultimately gives Soos (who is confused over the fact that he is engaged) the room.

Dipper and Mabel have gotten into some rather tight tensions lately. Mabel has been having Candy and Grenda over for sleepovers nightly, forcing Dipper to sleep outside. After one such sleepover, Dipper demands that Mabel stop. They go to the reasonable (read: wants everything on TV to fight) Grunkle Stan to settle the affair. As Grunkle Stan declares that there is nothing that they can do, Soos finds a mysterious room. Dipper and Mabel begin fighting over the room.

Grunkle Stan declares that he will give the room to the biggest kiss-up. Dipper is confident over his room, and rubs his socks on the carpet in the room. However, Mabel catches him, and the two's argument causes their hands to make contact, causing a release of static shock... that causes the two to enter each others bodies. Apparently, the carpet has body-swap powers that causes bodies to swap if they touch. They take advantage of this to sabatoge each others attempts to get the room.

Meanwhile, Waddles and Soos wind up swapping bodies. Waddles-In-Soos manages to meet an attractive tourist, while Soos-in-Waddles is almost eaten.

Back at the Shack, Candy and Grenda come over for another sleepover, and Dipper-in-Mabel is traumatized by the fact they are going to read age-innapropriate romance novels. Mabel-in-Dipper is caught spying on them by Grunkle Stan, and has to read a book on puberty. ("Goodbye, childhood.") Mabel-in-Dipper then calls out Stan, causing Dipper to win the competition. Mabel then seems to hand Dipper the key, but locks herself in there. To break down the door, Dipper-In-Mabel tells Candy and Grenda to give Mabel-in-Dipper a makeover. One electric shock later, and the status quo is restored.... until Candy decides to test the carpet herself, touching Dipper.

Meanwhile, Waddles-in-Soos, Soos-in-Waddles, Deputy Durland, Sherrif Blubs, and Old Man [=McGucket=] (who was about to eat Soos-In-Waddles) wind up in the room, and rampant body swapping ensues.

Mabel surrenders the room to Dipper, but the he winds up moving back into the attic before the first night is over, due to the sheer loneliness of the situation. Dipper gives Soos the room.

Meanwhile, Waddles-in-Soos, Soos-in-Waddles, Deputy Durland, Sherrif Blubs, and Old Man McGrucket (who was about to eat Soos-In-Waddles) wind up in the room, and rampant body swapping ensues.

When Dipper discovers a hidden room inside the Mystery Shack, he is happy to claim it as his own space, but there is one problem - Mabel wants the room too. The duo compete to win the room with a contest that gets even trickier when they learn the room's carpet has electric body swapping properties.
