* WrongBathroomIncident: The boys go to a town to investigate the apparent haunting of the women's locker room of a gym [[ChivalrousPervert (to Dean's delight)]]. In fact, the town is afflicted by a working wishing well, and people are being none too careful about what they wish for. The locker room "haunting" is actually a high school kid who [[PowerPerversionPotential wished he could turn invisible so he could spy on women in the shower]].
-->'''Sam:''' So LetMeGetThisStraight. You walked up to a wishing well, dropped a dime, and wished to turn invisible so you could spy on women in the shower?

Pretty sure the creep who cast a rape spell qualifies as an antagonist. Even in purely literary terms, an antagonist is an obstacle to the protagonist; Sam and Dean have to confront Wes and make him lift the curse.


* NoAntagonist: Unusually, this episode doesn't have a MonsterOfTheWeek. Everybody in the town is a victim of the curse, including the one who cast it.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Todd uses his super strength to push over the SUV that his bullies have sought refuge in. Even with super strength, he's still just a little kid who weighs maybe 70 pounds. The SUV weighs 5000+ pounds, easy. In reality, without being properly braced he would have just pushed himself away from the vehicle. Even with support, his arms would have just punched through the sides of the SUV, since the panels can't take that kind of pressure.
