* HarsherInHindsight: Nathan, Audrey, and Julia discover that the Chameleon has been living as Vaughn for years, and they wonder if his wife knew. They decide she did, based on the picture, and then imagine the impossible choice she had to make: lose the love of her life or live with a copy, somebody that "looks like him, speaks like him, acts like him, essentially ''is'' him." In season 5, [[spoiler: Nathan is presented with ''exactly'' this scenario by Croatoan--and rejects the idea of living happily ever after with a replica in favor of trying to save Audrey.]]

They decide to start the party, and Audrey walks in wearing a cute dress. She explains that she opened Vince's present early. Julia screams. They rush to her location, where she's found a molted skin in Vaughn's shape. The Chief takes charge. He explains that Vaughn was a Chameleon, a type of Troubled person he encountered back in 1983. It operates by draining a person of their life-force and memories, which kills them, shedding its skin, then shape-shifting into that person.

Duke walks in, carrying an axe, and explains that he searched the boathouse and saw the destroyed boat. He accuses Nathan of doing it, since he searched Nathan's bag and didn't find a gun. Audrey gets an idea and asks everyone to identify the presents they gave her before she opens them. They agree. Vince says it was the dress Audrey is wearing. Eleanor and Dave get theirs right. Nathan says his was a sweater, but Audrey opens it and it is a scarf. Duke attacks Nathan and the Chief knocks Nathan out with the butt of his gun.

* ImpostorExposingTest: Subverted and played straight. The trope is subverted when the party decides the best way to figure out the imposter is to have them reveal what birthday gift they brought, as none of them had been opened yet. Nathan guesses incorrectly, as his girlfriend had rejected his gift idea and replaced it without telling him.

* WellDoneSonGuy: When the Chief compliments Audrey (really the Chameleon)while teamed up with her, she mentions that he should also do that with Nathan. He...tries, but it doesn't go over well. Mostly because he praises Nathan for being quick to shoot someone else.
