* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The audience is clearly supposed to feel sorry for Wes at the end, who's lost the woman he (allegedly) loves. However, said woman was ''{{brainwashed|AndCrazy}}'' into loving him (and more than likely [[DoubleStandardRapeSciFi sleeping]] with him). It's hard to see him as anything but a pathetic creep, especially considering that he made the wish without even trying to speak with Hope Lynn in the first place. Somewhat downplayed, since he did reverse the wish on his own.

** When WebVideo/TheHillywoodShow did their "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsy06n-omrg Supernatural Parody 2]]" in 2018 video, Teddy makes a cameo. While Sam and Dean only talked about shooting the bear in the actual episode, they actually try to exterminate him in the parody. [[spoiler: All they get is fluff in their faces.]]

** This episode has Sam pretending he's writing a book called ''Supernatural''. Flash forward to "The Monster at the End of this Book" later this season, and it turns out already did. A whole ''series'' of books. Likely doubles as {{Foreshadowing}}.

* HollywoodNerd: Sam, Dean, and even Wes himself act like Hope is amazingly out of Wes's league, with the brothers noting Wes and Hope's relationship as one of the weird things going on in town simply based on ''appearance''. Although Wes may be unconfident, he's certainly not hideous, and Sam and Dean seem to peg him as a hopeless nerd simply due to the fact that [[NerdGlasses he wears glasses]].
