27 | !Tropes |
28 | --------- |
29 | * AlwaysMurder: Or Always a Supernatural MonsterOfTheWeek. Dean keeps investigating, it keeps turning out to be something mundane. But, of course... |
30 | * AndThisIsFor: A dijiin infects Dean with a lethal poison saying, "That's for our father, you son of a bitch", presumably referring to the djinn who was in "What is and What Should Never Be." |
31 | * BackFromTheDead: Not that Sam was actually dead for the past year. Samuel, on the other hand... Subverted with Azazel: he was a hallucination. |
32 | * TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive |
33 | * ChickMagnet: Dean's friend expresses his envy when a waitress touches him up and leaves her phone number, despite Dean being loyal to Lisa. Subverted when she turns out to be the djinn infecting him. |
34 | * ContrastMontage: The story opens with a montage showing Dean's life with Lisa and Ben and his life as a hunter with Sam. |
35 | * {{Foreshadowing}} / NotHimself: There's something a bit…off about Sam's behaviour. |
36 | * GuiltComplex |
37 | * HeroicLineage: Samuel mentions how the Campbell line has been fighting monsters since before the New World. |
38 | * ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies |
39 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: The reason Sam didn't tell Dean about him was because he wanted him to be able to live a normal life. Or so he says. |
40 | * LackOfEmpathy: Dean thoughtlessly risked his life in a futile attempt to save his neighbours. Dean is surprised when Sam says he wouldn't do the same. |
41 | * OhCrap: Sulfur. |
42 | * OneSteveLimit: We have two "Samuel"s in the story [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E03InTheBeginning again]], one of which (Sam Winchester) was named for the other (Samuel Campbell). |
43 | * ParentalSubstitute: Dean for Ben. |
44 | * PassingTheTorch: Dean hands Sam the keys to the Impala, and is [[NotHimself surprised when he's not interested]], having set up his own car the way he likes. |
45 | * ProperlyParanoid: Dean has a devil's trap hidden under the front door carpet, and keeps a shotgun and holy water [[PillowPistol under his bed]]. |
46 | * RevealingHug: Sam hugs Dean after not having seen him for a year. [[https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/farawayeyes4/10322690/21421/21421_600.png His expression]] is the first clue that something's [[NotHimself not quite right]] with him. |
47 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Dean clearly hasn't adjusted well to civilian life. |
48 | * SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: The lyrics of "Beautiful Loser" by Bob Seger [[DiegeticSwitch playing on Dean's radio alarm]] during the ContrastMontage. |
49 | -->He wants to dream like a young man / With the wisdom of an old man / He wants his home and security / He wants to live like a sailor at sea.\ |
50 | Beautiful loser / Where you gonna fall? / When you realize, you just can't have it all. |
51 | * TenMinuteRetirement: Dean has settled down, for a while. |
52 | * TimeSkip: A year from the last episode. |
53 | * VillainOfTheWeek: Brigitta, a djinn who wants to get revenge on Dean for killing her father back in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E20WhatIsAndWhatShouldNeverBe What Is and What Should Never Be]]. |
