* BottleEpisode: Appropriately enough, "Spin the Bottle" has at least the tendencies of a Bottle Episode: most of the episode takes place in the hotel, with no guest stars and an "amnesia" concept that makes for a low need of special effects.

Added DiffLines:

* OntologicalMystery: Lampshaded
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Angel affects a somewhat inconsistent Irish accent during flashbacks. Notably, in a later episode ("Spin the Bottle") in which he reverts to his old identity from he was vamped, the writers had him speaking in American dialect so that Borranaz wouldn't have to maintain the brogue for a full hour. This is lampshaded by "Liam's" confusion at his sudden lack of an accent.
