Sam and Dean are framed for a series of murder-robberies by two Leviathans that have taken their forms.

!Tropes

* AndYourLittleDogToo
-->'''Chett:''' I'm really going to enjoy eating you, right down to that hat. And then I'm going to eat everyone you said hello to.
-->''(Bobby cuts off his head)''
* AnywhereButTheirLips: Lacking the confidence to follow up his SmoochOfVictory, Bobby gives Jody a light peck on the cheek.
* AsideGlance: Leviathan Dean winks at the security camera before starting the bank massacre.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The young rookie FBI agent turns out to be a Leviathan.
* BigBad: The previously unseen leader of the Leviathans, Dick Roman, makes his debut.
* BigBrotherIsWatching: The man Bobby sends the Winchesters to for new ID's turns out to be a paranoid conspiracy nutter, but [[ProperlyParanoid that's exactly what they need.]]
* BreakingTheFellowship: Sam and Dean go their separate ways at the end of the episode because Sam is furious that Dean killed [[Recap/SupernaturalS07E03TheGirlNextDoor Amy]] and lied to him about it.
* CanNotSpitItOut: Bobby looks like he's going to make a move on Jody Mills, but instead asks her to dispose of the Leviathan head.
* CassandraTruth: Sam and Dean insist that they aren't the ones committing the murders. They're telling the truth, but they don't really have much believable evidence on their side.
* ClipShow: Kind of. The Leviathans impersonating Sam and Dean are targeting towns the boys worked jobs in, in order, since Sam left college.
* ContinuityCavalcade: All the way back to Season One. See ClipShow. The episodes specifically referenced are [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01Pilot "Pilot" (S01, E01)]] (the Woman in White in Jericho, California), [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E02Wendigo "Wendigo" (S01, E02)]] (the wendigo in Blackwater Ridge, Colorado), [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E03DeadInTheWater "Dead in the Water" (S01, E03)]] (the kid ghost in Lake Manitoc, Wisconsin), [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E06Skin "Skin" (S01, E06)]] (the shapeshifter in St. Louis, Missouri), and [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E07HookMan "Hook Man" (S01, E07)]] (the Hook Man in Ankeny, Iowa). Presumably, they also hit [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E04PhantomTraveller Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania]] and [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E05BloodyMary Toledo, Ohio]], but it's not explicitly stated.
* CriminalDoppelganger: Two Leviathans take on the shape of Sam and Dean and go on a high-profile murder-crime spree [[InvokedTrope with the intention of implicating the real Winchesters]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: As Shapeshifter!Bobby points out the moment he can access Bobby's memories.
* DecapitationRequired: After having tried everything else, Bobby gets annoyed and just cuts off the Leviathan's head with a machette, and is suprised when this works. [[PullingThemselvesTogether Turns out it's only temporary]], but at least slows them down.
* EatsBabies: Crowley offers Dick Roman a bag of baby uvulas as a gift to smooth their alliance.
* EvilGloating: "Are you going to kill me, or is this some kind of play-with-your-food bull?"
* EvilTwin: The Leviathans become these to Sam and Dean, going on murder sprees in every town they worked a job in.
* FakingTheDead: A friendly sheriff and his coroner daughter make it appear that Sam and Dean were killed in a shootout. Unfortunately one of the Leviathans turns up to check and kills them both.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Dick threatens to [[Recap/SupernaturalS07E09HowToWinFriendsAndInfluenceMonsters "bib" his minion]] if there are [[YouHaveFailedMe any more mistakes]].
* FantasticRacism: The Leviathans, who apparently think demons are even lower than humans, who at least taste good.
* FromBadToWorse: Not only can't Chett be killed, he also informs them that he's the least of their problems, with the authorities chasing two spree killers who look just like our heroes.
* GoodHurtsEvil: During his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, Leviathan!Dean talks of how annoying the Winchesters desire to do good is, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood when they could use their strength and intelligence to dominate the weak]].
* GuiltyPleasure:
** Dean's reluctant enjoyment of Air Supply.
** Defied with Dean's love of ''Film/DirtyDancing'' and other Creator/PatrickSwayze movies.
-->'''Dean:''' "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
-->'''Sam:''' You know, that's a line from-
-->'''Dean:''' (''emphatically'') Swayze movie! Swayze ''always'' gets a pass!
* {{Homage}}: The scene in the diner is straight from ''Film/PulpFiction'', minus the swearing and endearments. {{Lampshaded}} by Bobby.
* InternalReveal: Sam now knows that Dean killed Amy Pond.
* ItsPersonal: Sam and Dean feel that "Leviathans wearing their faces and going on a crime spree" falls in this category.
** Crowley also takes this attitude after Roman belittles and insults him during their initial meeting, when Crowley was going out of his way to be polite. Roman...didn't really comprehend exactly who he was dealing with.
* KnightInSourArmor: Bobby, according to his double.
* KickTheDog: Leviathan Dean makes a point of telling Sam the truth about Dean killing Amy.
* LosingYourHead: Bobby tells Jody to chuck the box containing the Leviathan's head off a bridge. "Don't open it, even if it starts talking. ''Especially'' if it starts talking."
* MadeOfIron: Chett informs the Winchester that the Leviathan they dropped a car on in "Hello Cruel World" is very much alive. And angry.
* MrSmith: Frank tells the brothers to drop the ThemedAliases, which the Leviathan used to trace them. "It's Tom and John Smith from now on."
* NeverRecycleYourSchemes: Roman rejects the idea of carrying on the plan with two more Sam and Dean shapeshifters, as the media would find it strange that they managed to come BackFromTheDead yet again.
* NotHimself: Dean is looking forward to the burgers in St. Louis. Cut to Dean saying how awful they taste, and Sam griping about his healthy food -- they're actually the Leviathans.
* ProperlyParanoid: Frank Devereaux.
* PutOnABus: The [[CompanionCube Impala]]. Dean is ''not'' happy.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Dick Roman gives one to Crowley.
-->"Now, it's your turn to listen. I'd sooner swim through hot garbage than shake hands with a bottom-feeding mutation like you. You demons are ugly, lazy, gold-digging whores. You're less than humans, and they're not good for much until you dip them in garlic sauce."
** These happen all over the place with the various shapeshifters involved: Leviathan!Bobby gives one to Bobby, Leviathan!Dean gives one to Sam, and both Leviathans have a good bitch session about the Winchesters among themselves.
* ShipTease: Bobby and Jody, who's [[RescueRomance grateful for Bobby saving her life]].
* ShoutOut: To [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatty_Cathy Chatty Cathy]], ''Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid'', Donna Summers, ''Film/MrAndMrsSmith2005'', ''Film/PulpFiction'', ''Film/DirtyDancing'' ("Nobody puts Baby in a corner!"), and ''Series/DesperateHousewives''.
* SmoochOfVictory: After Jody accidentally reveals the WeaksauceWeakness, Bobby rushes upstairs and snogs her.
* SmugSnake: Chett is fully confident he'll break free, and nothing Bobby does even makes him flinch. He readily tells our heroes everything they want to know because it won't make any difference to the outcome.
* SpareAMessenger: The camera-only version.
* SuperDickery: Sam and Dean are robbing a bank for some unknown reason. It's not until they herd the staff and customers into a safe and machine-gun them to death that we realise they're shapeshifters.
* TakeThat: Dean angrily throws away a ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' mirror ornament.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Leviathans are revealed to be highly sensitive to ''Borax'', of all things.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Crowley suggests to Roman that they should team up, only to be shot down when Roman makes his contempt for all demons clear.
* WeirdnessCensor: The sheriff is only too willing to put in a false report that the Winchesters were killed in a shoot-out, so he won't have to tell the truth.
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Inverted with Leviathan! Dean, who berates the real Winchesters for not using their talents to dominate the weak.
* YouOweMe: Crowley tries to play this card, but Roman knows Crowley only got them out of Purgatory for his own benefit, so isn't impressed.
