Tropes
- Adult Fear
- Candlelit Bath: Not actually candlelit, but the rest of the trope fits when Andrea takes a "relaxing" bath.
- Chekhov's Gun: Lucas' drawings. Also, a gun that will only be fired four seasons later: Dean mentions in this episode that he used to love army men. It was an army man that Dean rebuilt into the Impala that caused Sam to remember their childhood good times and fight over Lucifer's control of his body in the season 5 finale.
- Creepy Child / Cute Mute: Lucas
- Deadly Prank
- Deadpan Snarker:

Andrea Barr: Must be hard, with your sense of direction, never being able to find your way to a decent pickup line. |

- Friend to All Children: Dean, although he can't have had much practice.
- Heroic Sacrifice
- Hey, It's That Guy!: Guest-starring Amy Acker as the resident Hot Mom.
