* SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: Rather than her customary child hosts, Lilith sticks with an adult woman host. It can be explained away InUniverse by saying that either she really ''did'' like possessing Ruby's adult host in Recap/SupernaturalS03E16NoRestForTheWicked and wanted another pretty adult meatsuit, she knew it'd be easier to convince Sam to have sex with her if she was in the form a possessed adult rather than a possessed child, or both. Of course, out-of-universe, writers probably wanted to avoid having Sam get seduced by a little girl ''or'' [[spoiler:cold-bloodedly kill said child [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E22LuciferRising four episodes later]]]]; the studio probably wouldn't like either scenario.
