History Recap / BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E6AllTheWay

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Dawn gets caught with a vamp she was making out with having just met him. This after she lied about where she was.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Willow's using magic to keep hold of Tara, and Buffy delegating to Giles the task of reprimanding Dawn, cause both characters to drastically rethink their relationships over the next couple of episodes.

-->'''Giles''': More or less. Except for the part about me not being angry.

* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Looking for Dawn in the crowded Bronze, Willow suggests a spell to shift everyone who isn't a fifteen year old girl into an AlternateUniverse. This proves the last straw for Tara.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

-->'''Buffy''': You were parking with a vampire?
-->'''Dawn''': I didn't know he was a vampire.
-->'''Buffy''': Oh, so you were parking with a guy you just met?

* RedHerring: The episode spends the first half building up the creep factor of an old man, watching kids menacingly through his window. When Dawn, her friend, and two guys try to pull a trick on them, he invites them inside for some "treats" and then goes into the kitchen with one of the boys, and reaches for a knife. Then, it's revealed that the two guys are vampires and an even worse threat than the old psycho.

* MuggingTheMonster: It turns out Old Man Kaltenbach chose the wrong group of teenagers to plan to murder, as the boys were vampires.

* InsistentTerminology
-->'''Buffy:''' Were you parking?! With a vamp?
-->'''Dawn:''' I didn't know he was dead!
-->'''Justin:''' ''Living'' dead.

* MakeOutPoint: Dawn and Justine sneak out of the house to canoodle with a couple of boys, only for them to turn out to be vampires. The Scoobies track them down only to find themselves surrounded by carloads of teenaged vampires.

* NoodleIncident: Dawn meets a creepy old man who proves to be a harmless designer of toys (although a few of the toys could fit in the Wednesday Addams Signature Collection). He was forced to retire when "that thing happened. One little mistake, and they took it all away from me."

* RedHerring: The episode spends the first half building up the creep factor of an old man, watching kids menacingly through his window. When Dawn, her friend, and two guys try to pull a trick on them, he invites them inside for some "treats" and then goes into the kitchen with one of the boys, and reaches for a knife. Then, it's revealed that he really is a harmless man making brownies, and the two guys are vampires.

* BareYourMidriff: Janice

-->"We don't have wings. We just skate around with perfect hair, [[TheyFightCrime fighting crime]]."

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Anya the Angel.

* FamousLastWords: (after being staked) "Dude, that sucks!"

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
-->'''Anya:''' But you get to dress up and play games. Xander's gonna teach me a new one after work called Shiver Me Timbers. Ever heard of it?
** And later:
-->'''Anya''': How about you? Ever played?
-->'''Tara''': [[LipstickLesbian Not really one for the timber.]]

* OminousFog

* CutenessProxmity: Willow's rant about witch stereotypes is cut short when she notices the utterly adorable four-year-old in a witch costume. She pretty much melts.

* HilariousInHindsight: Buffy telling Xander MySisterIsOffLimits -- Xander hooks up with Dawn in the comic series.
* HypocriticalHumor

* LaserGuidedAmnesia / MoralEventHorizon: Willow uses a spell to wipe Tara's memory of their argument.

* MakeOutPoint: Even vampire teens have them.
-->'''Buffy:''' Didn't anyone come here just to make out? [two human teenagers raise their hands] Awww... that's sweet. Run.

* NoodleIncident: The old toymaker was forced to retire when "that thing happened. One little mistake, and they took it all away from me."

'''Buffy:''' Good thing you're uncivilized.

* ShoutOut: "Pumpkins -- very dangerous. You go first" riffs on Sallah's line about asps in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. Willow sees a couple dressed as [[Franchise/StarWars Luke and Leia]] doing the MatingDance and asks, "Don't they know they're [[IncestSubtext brother and sister?]]" The ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' reference is to "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" where Mickey Mouse spells a broom to do the cleaning for him, only to make an even worse mess.

-->'''Willow:''' I could whip up a jaunty self-cleaning incantation; it'll be like ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}''.\\
