While investigating Andy, Sam sees the man from his premonition and manages to keep him from entering the gun store he had seen in his premonition, but then the man steps in front of a bus and dies anyway. At the same time, Andy asks Dean if he can have the Impala, and [[OutOfCharacter Dean]] just lets Andy drive away with it. The brothers realize that Andy's voice can compel people to do what he wants, but Dean is not convinced Andy is behind the death. Andy realizes they are following him and asks them to tell him the truth, which Dean promptly does, but his power has no effect on Sam. While they're talking to Andy, Sam has another vision of a woman setting herself on fire at a gas station. This vision comes true while they're still with Andy, and they realize he is not the killer.

* NearRapeExperience: Tracey was being told to strip by Ansem when Andy and Sam interrupted them.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Dean and Jo.
* WrittenInInfirmity: Jared Padalecki broke his wrist filming [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E03Bloodlust "Bloodlust" (S02, E03)]], and Sam said he injured his hand in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E04ChildrenShouldntPlayWithDeadThings his fight with Zombie Angela]]. This is the first episode where he is wearing a cast.

* GeniusBookClub: The books in Andy's van include [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegel Hegel]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kant Kant]], and [[LudwigWittgenstein Wittgenstein]].

-->'''Sam:''' You know, I heard you before, Dean, when Andy made you tell the truth. You're just as scared of this as I am.
-->'''Dean:''' That was mind control! I mean, it's like--that's like being roofied, man, that doesn't count.
-->'''Sam:''' What?
-->'''Dean:''' No. I'm--I'm calling a do-over.
-->'''Sam:''' What are you, seven?
-->'''Dean:''' Doesn't matter. Look, we've just gotta keep doing what we're doing, find that evil son of a bitch and kill it.

Sam has another premonition, this time of someone committing a murder-suicide. He and Dean suspect that more [[Characters/SupernaturalSpecialChildren Special Children]] are involved, young adults who were visited on their six-month birthday by the Yellow-Eyed Demon and have subsequently developed psychic powers. Ash at the Harvelle Roadhouse helps them to track down a likely suspect: Andy Gallagher in Guthrie, Oklahoma.

The brothers return to the Harvelle Roadhouse, and Ellen interrogates them about their recent hunt. They end up telling her about Sam's visions and what they know about the other Special Children. They also realize that Ansem's mother did ''not'' die in a house fire when he was six months old. Without this pattern to track, they have no idea how many Special Children may be out there.

-->'''Dean:''' That was mind control! I mean, it's like, that's like being roofied, man, that doesn't count.

-->'''Dean:''' No. I'm, I'm calling do-over.

Sam has another premonition, this time of someone committing a murder-suicide. He and Dean suspect that more [[Characters/SupernaturalSpecialChildren Special Children]] are involved, young adults who were visited on their 6-month birthday by the Yellow-Eyed Demon and have subsequently developed psychic powers. Ash at the Harvelle Roadhouse helps them to track down a likely suspect: Andy Gallagher in Guthrie, Oklahoma.

While investigating Andy, Sam sees the man from his premonition, and manages to keep him from entering the gun store he had seen in his premonition, but then the man steps in front of a bus and dies. At the same time Andy asks Dean if he can have the Impala, and [[OutOfCharacter Dean]] just lets Andy drive away in the Impala. The brothers realize that Andy's voice can compel people to do what he wants, but Dean is not convinced Andy is behind the death. Andy realizes they are following him and asks them to tell him the truth, which Dean promptly does, but his power has no effect on Sam. While they are talking to Andy, Sam has another vision of a woman setting herself on fire at a gas station. This vision comes true while they are still with Andy, and they realize he is not the killer.

They soon find out that Andy was adopted and had a twin brother Ansem raised in another town. Ansem had recently moved to Guthrie and befriended Andy, who knew Ansem as Webber. Sam has another vision of Tracey, a girl Andy cares about, being forced to jump off a bridge. Sam and Andy go rescue Tracey, while Dean, who is susceptible to compulsion, hangs back. Ansem reveals that he admired Andy and wanted to be his family, but had been told by the Yellow-Eyed Demon that he should not let Andy know they were brothers. He killed people because they had tried to keep them apart. Dr. Jennings, the first victim, was the doctor who delivered the twins, and Holly Becker, the second victim, was their biological mother. Ansem also reveals that he is stronger than Andy and is able to compel Tracey to jump or Dean to shoot himself by using his mind alone, even if they can't hear him. Before Ansem can kill anymore people, Andy shoots and kills him.

The brothers return to the Harvelle Roadhouse, and Ellen interrogates them about their recent hunt. They end up telling her about Sam's visions and what they know about the other Special Children. They also realize that Ansem's mother did not die in a house fire when he was 6 months old. Without this pattern to track, they have no idea how many Special Children may be out there.

* CainAndAbel: Andy and Ansem.

* CrazyJealousGuy: Ansem tries to kill Tracey because he is concerned about his brother developing other relationships.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Dr. Jennings says guns make him nervous while loading and cocking the rifle.
* DrinkOrder: Ash drinks [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabst_Blue_Ribbon PBR.]]
* EarWorm: "Cant Fight This Feeling" for Dean.

-->'''Andy:''' I have... an evil... twin.
* GamerChick: Jo hustles Ed, a hunter, out of his room money playing a hunter arcade game.

* JediMindTrick:

* MurderSuicide: In Sam's vision Dr. Jennings kills the gun salesman and then himself.
* NearRapeExperience: Tracey was being asked to strip by Ansem, when Andy and Sam interrupted them.

** Sam says Dean had [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson OJ Simpson]] convicted before he got out of his white Bronco.
* SillyLoveSongs: Jo selects "Can't Fight this Feeling" by REOSpeedwagon on the jukebox. Dean is singing this song when he drives off.

** There's also the fact that Dean gets a sly grin when he points it out, and the show cuts to the brothers chowing down on some fast food. Could just be a coincidence.
