** Buffy taunts Spike by asking if Drusilla dumped him again. The last time they met was in "Lovers Walk", which ended with Spike determined to win back Drusilla after she ended their relationship. Apparently that whole "torture her until she loves me again" didn't work.

-->'''Buffy:''' You're right. He's manipulative and shallow...and why doesn't he want me? Am I repulsive? If there was something repulsive about me you would tell me, right?
-->'''Willow:''' I'm your friend. [[ThatCameOutWrong I would call you repulsive in a second.]]
-->'''Buffy:''' Maybe Parker and I could still work it out. Do you think we could still work it out?
-->'''Willow:''' I think you're missing something about this whole poop head principal.

* YouRemindMeOfX: Plenty of Angel reminders; rather than deter Buffy (as with Scott Hope) this only makes her more determined to move on. Anya's forthcoming approach to sex reminds Xander of Faith and the [[NoTellMotel time]] they hooked up. And the [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E15Consequences time]] she almost hooked up with him.

* CallBack:
** Xander reacts to all the blunt comments from Anya about wanting sex from him by telling her she's still more romantic than Faith.
** The scar on Buffy's neck from when Angel fed on her in "Graduation Day, Part II". Saying it was done by an "angry puppy" might be a writer's in-joke reference to "The Wish", where Vampire!Willow referred to a bound Angel as her "puppy".

Wrong page. Also, I don\'t think you know what Identical Stranger means...


* EpilepticTrees: Parker is an IdenticalStranger for Xander. Fans see this as the only non-supernatural reason Buffy would ever even consider Parker's lines. Adam Kaufman does look very similar to Nicolas Brendan, but it is unrevealed if Kaufman was made up to boost the resemblance.
