* ShutUpKirk: Spike starts telling off everyone, only to be cut off by Faith. "The time for speech-giving is over, [[TheNicknamer Bat Boy]]." Spike agrees, and the two promptly slug it out.

* PreClimaxClimax: The trope was actually the whole basis of the episode, with even a bit of {{deconstruction}} by the incorporeal [[BigBad First]]. Though it was still a few episodes from the final battle, the stress of a half-season-long war resulted in Willow and Kennedy having sex for the first time, [[PairTheSpares Robin and Faith]] hooking up, and Anya and Xander having sex [[SexWithTheEx despite being technically broken up]], all at the same time (and [[RightThroughTheWall rather noisily]], too). Averted for Spike and Buffy, as they [[SecurityCling just held each other through the night]]. Aw.

** Buffy invites Spike into her bed with her to hold her for the night. Along with this being the first time Buffy has ''ever'' truly invited affection (physical or otherwise) from Spike, the gesture symbolizes her her newfound complete trust in him and marks the resolution of their season-long arc of forgiveness. Likewise, the scene is intercut with all the other couples' SexMontage to symbolize the extreme intimacy of the moment--which they will both comment on in the next episode.

* ShesBack: After spending most of the second half of the season in denial about all the people she was going to lose going up against the First, and being deposed as leader of the potentials and kicked out of her own house by her sister, Spike pulls Buffy together and she decides she's going to take the Scythe from Caleb.
