Added DiffLines:

* HolyBurnsEvil: The Winchesters deduce that Lucifer was possessing the Archbishop due to the most recent photo featuring the Archbishop no longer wearing his big cross. Though curiously, he didn't seem to be uncomfortable in the diocese while possessing the archbishop; rather, ''his'' presence seemed to make the ''diocese'' uncomfortable. Later, when in President Rooney's body, holding a Bible burns him. Also inverted when Kelly Kline, who's pregnant with Lucifer's {{Nephilim}} child, touches a Bible. It bursts into flame.


Added DiffLines:

* ShownTheirWork: Perhaps an accident, but Lucifer in the archbishop's body causes the crucifixes in the church to flip upside-down. Upside-down crosses have long been associated with Satanism, but they're actually not, having originated from Saint Peter's martyrdom. Upside-down ''crucifixes'', crosses with a figure of Jesus carved on, ''are'' blasphemous.
* SinisterMinister: Lucifer briefly uses an archbishop as a vessel.

* CallBack: In the earlier episode where Dean kills Hitler, he was ''very'' disappointed that Sam did not let him bring the Grenade Launcher when they raided the Nazi hideout. He can't help but be impressed with Ketch shows up and uses one to rescue them from the government agents.

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Kelly, the staffer, says she feels like something happened the last time she slept with Lucifer possessed Rooney, cut to Castiel reacting to a deluge of voices on angel radio discussing a surge in celestial energy related to the conception of a Nephilim but significantly stronger than one associated with typical angels.

* TensionCuttingLaughter: During a briefing with the President's staff, Lucifer mentions he's thinking about lobbing a nuclear missile against Belarus. His staff gets very unnerved before he plays it off as a joke and they all burst into laughter.

* BedTrick: Rooney!Lucifer sleeps with Rooney's lover Kelly without her knowing he's been possessed.


Added DiffLines:

* NotRightInTheBed: Laying in bed breathless post-sex Kelly seems to think "Rooney" has been [[SexGod better in bed]] than usual, but doesn't dwell in it, oblivious to the fact she [[DoubleStandardRapeDivineOnMortal actually just slept with]] ''Lucifer''. She later confesses to Sam she feels something's changed about him.


Added DiffLines:

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Rooney!Lucifer eyes glow red when he manifests his powers.
* SecretRelationship: President Rooney is in a secret relationship with his staffer Kelly, and they've been keeping it as a secret since [[SleepingWithTheBoss not only he's her boss]] but his wife has died recently.
* TalkingInBed: Kelly gives Rooney!Lucifer an AsYouKnow talk about their secret relationship in bed after they have been intimate, while they're only wearing {{Modesty Bedsheet}}s. This exposition is convenient to both Lucifer ''and'' the audience.

The Winchesters and Castiel have to team up with Crowley and Rowena when Lucifer possesses the President of the United States.

!!Tropes in this episode:

* BigScrewedUpFamily: We already knew this about them, but it says something about Rowena and Crowley's relationship that she considers him killing her JerkAss fiancé as "the sweetest thing you've ever done for me".
* EnemyMine: Team Free Will works with Crowley and Rowena to try and reseal Lucifer. Mr. Ketch, acting on behalf of the British Men of Letters, also provides some tactical support.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Lucifer impregnates President Rooney's staffer, Kelly, with a Nephilim.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Winchesters' status as this in the public finally hits its logical extreme, as Rooney!Lucifer convinces his Secret Service agents that they're insane cult members who want to assassinate him.
* IdiotBall: Sam and Dean send everyone else away after Lucifer is banished back to the cage while they stay behind keep watch on the now unconscious President. So when the Secret Service come in, they naturally think that the Winchesters just tried to assassinate him.
* LudicrousGibs: Crowley does this to Rowena's "latest fiancé".
* MagiTek: The British Men of Letters have been spending years merging science and magic, to find new ways to fight monsters.
* PresidentEvil: Lucifer, once he takes Rooney as his new vessel. For starters, he's planning on pardoning Charles Manson.
