Background

Season 5

Gary is a very smart high school student, who needed a full ride in order to become an engineer. He is also allergic to wheat and is a virgin (which Sam comically points out calling him a "frustrated virgin"). One day when he and his friends where convening and dabbling with magic, Gary goes into a trance and draws Dean's face. With this image they heard that there is bounty on this guy. To Gary's luck, Dean and Sam stop by his work and Gary sees Sam as a way to get close to Dean. So he and his friends knock Sam out, and Gary casts a spell that causes him to switch bodies with Sam.

Gary is amazed with his new "body", and checks out Sam's body in the mirror. Then Dean walks in, and Gary mentions the maid saw the gun, which forces them to leave the hotel. Before they leave, Gary steals all of Dean's cell phones. As they are leaving, Gary asks to drive the Impala, but heads up reversing into a garbage bin. When they arrive in town, Gary realizes that the ghost they were hunting he knows about, which surprises Dean. When they get back in the Impala, Gary tells Dean to turn up the music, which Dean is confused about, but does it anyways. Dean hasn't caught on that "Sam" isn't Sam, but Gary.

So Gary accompanies to the grave site and is enjoying holding the gun. Dean looks concerned again, but Gary denies that anything is wrong. When Dean starts digging the grave, Gary is about to shoot Dean when the ghost attacks. Gary does save Dean though. Then they go for a beer and Gary realizes Dean isn't such a bad guy. Later, Gary hooks up with some chick from the bar, and Dean finally realizes that "Sam" isn't Sam.

When Gary returns from his night with the unknown lady, he attempts to kill Dean (after his friends called about his body) only to be knocked out by Dean. Gary is tied up and interrogated by Dean, but a Demon (who is possessing his friend Nora) comes and unties him. She wants him to come with her in exchange for his wish, but he refuses. Together he and Dean exorcise the demon from Nora. Gary then reverses the spell, and he and Sam return to their normal bodies. Dean tells Gary never to perform magic again, or they will come back and kill him. They didn't kill him before, because he is underage.

As they are dropping Gary off, Sam tells him that Nora doesn't like magic, but him. Also that he has a great life. It can be assumed that after this, Gary gives up magic for good. However, Sam secretly admits that Gary's life really does suck.
