applies.
* GoodLuckCharm[=/=]BadLuckCharm ExpositionCut: The first scene of Sam and Dean cuts right in after Sam has told Dean that the blonde is a demon, thus neatly cutting out the part the audience already knows so that they can watch Sam and Dean argue over this piece of information instead. Interestingly, the audience learns something they ''didn't'' know before (if they didn't look information on her up yet) that the blonde told Sam off-screen: her name, Ruby. It also appears that Sam left out information the audience ''did'' know from his exposition--that the people connected to their mom were all killed by the yellow-eyed demon and that it is connected to him (Sam).

* NecroNonSequitur: Wayne trips on a bottle and lands on an upright meat fork which stabs him through the mouth. Sam comes pretty darn close at times.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney / NotInThisForYourRevolution: Bela encounters the supernatural and the occult and instead of using her knowledge to help people she steals valuable items and sells them for money (to the scorn of Sam and Dean). The only way Bela and the Winchesters end up working together is when Bela's life is in danger.
* PinballProjectile: Dean drops his gun and it goes off. The bullet ricochets off several objects, shoots the gun out of Sam's hands and nearly misses hitting him.

* SuperstitionEpisode: Sam accidentally invokes (by touching) a cursed rabbit's foot. He has incredibly good luck for a while until he inevitably loses it (as father figure, Bobby puts it "Everyone loses it"), and then Sam's luck goes extremely bad. Not a straight example perhaps, because the rabbit's foot is a cursed object, so it isn't just superstition - though how it works is based on superstition - because touching the rabbit's foot really IS good and then bad luck.
