When "Sam" says "Evening, barkeep, I would like to purchase some alcohol," it's obvious to anyone who knows Sam that he would never say that. It also made the bartender very suspicious. Because of this, Dean figures out fairly quickly that somebody else is possessing his brother's body.

* Poltergeist: Maggie Briggs. According to [[spoiler:Sam!Gary]], she was [[spoiler:killed by Isaiah Pickett for carrying his illegitimate child and he buried her body inside the basement]]. After her death, she comes back as a ghost by bumping, knocking and scratching inside the walls, breaking objects and attacking Donna, whose torso is carved "Murdered Chylde" into her skin.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Sam and Gary may be back in their proper bodies, and the ghost has been dealt with, and Gary suddenly understands that Nora likes him, but dumbass Trevor is still dead as shit. His parents may be gone for the weekend, but they're in for a shock when they get home. The first people the police are going to want to talk to are his closest friends, and if anyone saw Nora and Sam-in-Gary's-body go inside his house...

* SimpleButAwesome: The demon's opinion of Trevor's desires for millions of dollars and a hot girlfriend, which she dubs ''sticking to the basics''. Naturally, the tone in which she says it implies Trevor is about to get hurt, which he fails to pick up on.

* EvilIsNotAToy: When will witches learn?
[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Gary is the most unsympathetic bonehead to mis-use dark magic since Wesley from [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E08WishfulThinking Wishful Thinking]], but still seems to be just a teenage dumbass way in over his head. Then his friend gets him on the phone and asks why he hasn't [[OhCrap killed Dean Winchester yet.]] Turns out these dumb teenagers are in cahoots with demons and want to offer up Hell's Most Wanted for a reward.
** Played straight with Trevor, who foolishly thinks he can order around a demon he summoned. This only achieves [[AssholeVictim something very predictable]].
* FreakyFridayFlip
FreakyFridayFlip: the premise of the episode. Dean regularly makes fun of Sam for being reserved and research-oriented. Imagine his surprise when the nerdiest guy ''ever'' takes over Sam's body.
* GrandTheftMe
GrandTheftMe: Via body swap.
* HowWeGotHereHowWeGotHere: We start out with Sam acting like some bedazzled teenager who's never been in a bar, ordered alcohol, or been hit on by a woman before. Then the camera pans over a mirror and shows an entirely different person wearing Sam's clothes. The rest of the episode shows how that happened.
