** Looked at in another light, the episode isn't so much about sex as it is about unequal emotional attachment. All three female characters are clearly far more into their partners than their partners were into them. Neither Anya nor Harmony is depicted as upset about the sex ''itself''; they're upset about being rejected. Since it's all the male characters being "detached" and all the female characters being "hurt" this can be taken as a pretty heavy-handed view on gender relations.

* SpoiledByTheFormat: Spike's DramaticUnmask is spoiled by the credits having already announced a few minutes prior that "Creator/JamesMarsters as Spike" was going to appear in the episode, leaving little doubt who Harmony's vampiric boyfriend would turn out to be.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Parker is judged harshly for having misled Buffy, who calls him "manipulative and shallow". This has some basis - he presented as being more caring and sensitive than he really was. Buffy's hypocracy was that she presented herself as being an entirely different person to who she really was; Buffy hid her identity and outright lied to Parker multiple times, such as by claiming her vampire bite was actually from a puppy. Parker's manipulation only put Buffy's feelings in danger, whereas Buffy's lies put Parker's life (and, in the Buffyverse, his soul) in clear danger. Overlaps with {{Protagonist Centered Morality}}.
