Back at the Shack, Candy and Grenda come over for another sleepover, and Dipper-in-Mabel is traumatized by the fact they are going to read age innapropriate romance novels. Mabel-in-Dipper is caught spying on Dipper-in-Mabel, Candy, and Grenda by Grunkle Stan, who reads "him" a book on puberty. ("Goodbye, childhood.") Mabel-in-Dipper then calls out Stan, causing Dipper to win the competition. Mabel then seems to hand Dipper the key, but locks herself in there. To break down the door, Dipper-In-Mabel tells Candy and Grenda to give Mabel-in-Dipper a makeover. One electric shock later, and the status quo is restored.... until Candy decides to test the carpet herself, touching Dipper.

* JerkassBall: Mabel is ''extra''-obnoxious and selfish in this episode, bringing her girlfriends into the bedroom she shares with her brother for an insanely loud and wild slumber party without asking him until he's forced to sleep outside (where [[WouldRatherSuffer he'd prefer to let a coyote chew his leg than go back in]]), and when he complains about it (and the fact that the party destroyed their elaborate minigolf course) the next morning she acts like nothing she did was in any way wrong and [[InsaneTrollLogic starts poking him with a stick to try and cheer him up]]. The only complaint she can come up with about Dipper's behavior in return is [[PokeThePoodle his habit of muttering aloud to himself and clicking his pen repeatedly while reading mystery books]] and when, after Dipper finds a cool new room to use as his bedroom when he can't stand the prospect of sharing with Mabel any more, she decides she should have it instead, [[ItsAllAboutMe just because]]. Even when Stan officially awards the room key to Dipper, she goes to extreme lengths to try and keep it from him because she can't accept not getting her way.

* CentralTheme: Sharing. The twins decide they need a new room, citing that living with each other is too hectic. They argue over who should get the new room they find... which eventually results in them switching (or, as Mabel calls it, sharing) bodies.

Mabel pukes and punches her stomach in an attempt to knock her conscious out of her brother's body and Dipper screams and rushes off upon seeing his reflection in the mirror only to just purposefully run in front of the mirror so he can terrify himself ''again''. According to the DVD commentary, the crew felt that characters in {{Freaky Friday Flip}}s typically aren't outright horrified by the swap, so they decided to [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] this by having Dipper and Mabel be as horrified as possible.
