Pete turns himself into a monster, not her.


* TheWoobie: Debbie Foley is pretty pitiable. She's in an abusive relationship with Pete, a boy who turns her into a literal monster. He hits her, kills anyone else he feels she's getting close to and blames her for everything. By the end of the episode she's half catatonic, [[MadnessMantra muttering to herself that Pete does love her.]] [[DownerEnding And then he kills her.]]

* WhatAnIdiot: It's Xander's shift to watch Oz's cage while he's in werewolf form.\\
'''You'd expect:''' Xander would at least try to stay awake.\\
'''Instead:''' He falls asleep immediately after Willow leaves the room.\\
'''The Result:''' A gruesome murder occurs overnight and the Scoobies have no way to tell if Oz was responsible. It turns out that he wasn't, but he could have been ruled out as a suspect much earlier if Xander had done his job properly.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Sunnydale guidance counselor Mr. Platt only appears for a few minutes, but he's pretty well-liked for being a warm, quirky ReasonableAuthorityFigure and many fans wish he'd been a recurring character instead of a disposable murder victim.

* TooCoolToLive: Platt. A ReasonableAuthorityFigure who despite AllTherapistsAreMuggles actually connects to Buffy to the point that she turns to him to confide a DarkSecret. So of course, halfway through the episode, Pete makes a Music/CannibalCorpse lyric out of him.

** This episode also debuts Oz's new werewolf look. Which is sillier: the big fake wolf-head, or the obviously repurposed gorilla suit? You decide!
