-->'''Spike:''' Get dressed, if you can find your clothes, and shove off.
* LighterAndSofter: The ''only'' time in the entire sixth season where we get to see Buffy having fun.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Spoofed -- As Willow turns the Trio visible again, Buffy is surprised to see Jonathan, Warren, and... "Who are you?" Andrew says he's the guy who sent the flying monkeys to attack the school play. [[NoodleIncident As that episode never happened on screen]] [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Buffy and Willow still don't remember him]] until they're told he's Tucker Well's brother.

%%* DynamicEntry: Smouldering Spike strides again!

* RuleOfCool (InUniverse): When Warren finishes building his RayGun, Andrew gripes that he expected something cool-looking -- more [[IndustrialLightAndMagic ILM]] than Creator/EdWood. Warren snaps, "I'll show you cool!" and promptly vanishes a chair with an impressive-looking light beam.

* SmokeOut: Spoofed -- the Trio throw down a smoke bomb to escape, but when the smoke clears they're pressed up against a locked door trying to get out.
