[[Characters/SupernaturalProphets Kevin]] has [[Recap/SupernaturalS08E19TaxiDriver been captured]] by [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Crowley]], and his short term memory was erased so he believes he is still on [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Garth's]] boat and that Sam and Dean have brought him the [[Recap/SupernaturalS08E07ALittleSliceOfKevin other half of the Demon tablet]].

[[Characters/SupernaturalProphets Kevin]] has [[Recap/SupernaturalS08E19TaxiDriver been captured]] by [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Crowley]], and his short term memory was erased so he believes he is still on [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Garth's]] boat and that Sam and Dean have brought him the [[Recap/SupernaturalS08E07ALittleSliceOfKevin other half of the Demon tablet]]. Kevin is initially suspicious when the fake Sam and Dean do not use the secret knock when they arrive, but when he sees the other half of the tablet, he is so excited he reveals that he should now be able to discover what the [[Recap/SupernaturalS08E14TrialAndError third trial]] is which will allow them to close all [[{{Hellgate}} gates to Hell]].

* JiveTurkey: Dean is the Winchester who uses slang, not Sam, as Crowley points out.
-->'''Crowley:''' You. Fake Sam. If you're gonna tip our hand, I'll have to scrub Kevin's short-term memory again. And that's risky, so watch the patois in there.
-->'''Demon:''' Patios?
-->'''Crowley:''' Your slang. Special K, nose to the God-stone, that's the way Dean speaks. Sam is... more basic, more sincere. Remember, I want two distinct, authentic characterizations.

Crowley\'s reactions to Naomi\'s threats have implied that despite his elevated position he is not immune to getting smited. Metatron proves it though.

* HolyBurnsEvil: [[spoiler: For all that he is the vaunted "King of Hell", Crowley sure gets a bad case of sunburn from Metatron's power, in addition to getting knocked on his ass]].

Added Metatron\'s line. Removed the bit about the demons being immune to holy water (it is highly unlikely Crowley allows the real thing on his \"set\"). Added Cas\'s collapse.


* IAmTheNoun: Could also be construed as a BadassBoast
-->'''Dean:''' How did you get past Crowley's angel wards?
-->'''Metatron:''' I'm the Scribe of God. I erased them.



* LotusEaterMachine: After capturing him, Crowley scrubs Kevin's short term memory and places him in a reality bubble duplicate of his boat hideout. Going in there makes it possible for his Demons to assume Sam and Dean's form (right down to being immune to holy water), and manipulate Kevin to translate their half of the Demon tablet. [[spoiler:Kevin eventually finds out, tricks the Demons, and taunts Crowley when he comes to confront him.]]
