'''Jessica''': Mm, crash and burn.<br />
''(they kiss)'' }}
* [[Great Big Book of Everything]]: John's journal. Dean steals it back from the police when he is temporarily taken into custody.

Line 44:
* [[White Sheep]]: The source of Sam's two-year-long estrangement from his family is his decision to go to college.
* [[Woman in White]]: The ladies in this episode start the fine Supernatural tradition of white dresses showing that the character wearing said dress is either evil, dead, or both.
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: The [[Monster of the Week]]'s M.O. is to target men who are cheating on their significant other. Subverted when she targets [[Nice Guy|Sam]] anyway with the funky ghost logic that [[Rape Asas Drama|she'll ''make'' him unfaithful]].
