Line 9:
* [[Call Back]]: Buffy's dream has Willow saying about her monkey in French "The hippo stole his pants" referring to the animal crackers conversation she had with Oz in "What's My Line", plus Willow trying to teach Buffy French in "School Hard". The fact that Buffy doesn't know about the Oz/Willow talk is a sign it isn't just an ordinary dream.
* [[Catapult Nightmare]]: Apparently averted, but it turns out to be a [[Dream Within a Dream]] and Buffy catapults awake after seeing Drusilla kill Angel.
* [[Caught in The Rain]]: Angel and Buffy's escape through a rainstorm leads to them taking shelter in his apartment, with [["Glad to Be Alive" Sex|inevitable consequences]].
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: Angel wakes up next to a sleeping Buffy and runs out into the storm, [[I'm Having Soul Pains|screaming in pain]].
* [[Double Meaning]]: "Do you really think you're ready, Buffy?" has both a plot-meaning and a sexual meaning -- is Buffy ready to lose her virginity, and is she ready for the terrible consequences of that act?
Line 38:
* [[Rule of Symbolism]]: Clear parallels are drawn between Buffy and Drusilla (it's even implied they're having the same prophetic dreams) as both end up releasing an evil force into the world.
* [[Scary Surprise Party]]
* [[Screw the War, WereWe're Partying|Screw the Hellmouth, We're Partying]]: Giles insists on giving Buffy her birthday party despite the impending crisis, showing a [[Character Development|change in his attitude]] from the previous year.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Disturbed over her dream, Buffy goes around to check Angel is alright. He opens the door with his shirt off -- not just [[Fan Service]] but [[Female Gaze|showing his sexual desirability to Buffy]].
* [[Shout -Out]]: Angel losing his soul if he experiences perfect happiness is a reference to ''[[Faust]]''.
* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: Angel kisses Buffy to silence her anxiety about Drusilla.
{{quote| '''Buffy:''' I'm sorry, were we talking?}}
* [[Skyward Scream]]: Angel shouts Buffy's name, but as he's outside in the rain a sleeping Buffy can't hear him. Just as well...
Line 49:
'''Buffy:''' Thus freeing us up for [[Buffy-Speak|world saveage]]. }}
* [[Spider Sense]]: The Judge senses the presence of Angel and Buffy.
* [[Take Me Instead!]]: Buffy and Angel are caught by Spike and about to be killed by the Judge, Buffy first. Angel offers "Take me instead of her." Spike replies, "You're not clear on the concept, pal. There is no 'instead.' Just 'first' and 'second.'"
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Buffy's "I like you at bed time." For once this isn't [[Played for Laughs]]; instead Angel takes the [[Accidental Innuendo]] and runs with it.
** It is played for the usual humor though in this scene:
Line 62:
* [[Woman in White]]: Buffy wears white throughout the episode, [[Rule of Symbolism|symbolising her virginal innocence]].
* [[With This Ring]]: Angel gives Buffy a claddagh ring for her birthday, explaining the different meanings in how you wear it, with obvious romantic overtones. The scene actually [[The Red Stapler|caused a boost in popularity for claddagh rings in real life]].
* [[You Don't Want to Die A Virgin, Do You?]]: More along the lines of -- we could die at any time, so let's take our relationship as far as it can go while we're both still alive.
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: Averted; when Dalton looses the Judge's arm Drusilla is going to [[Eye Scream|gouge out his eyes]], but Spike convinces her it makes more sense to give him the opportunity to correct his mistake. He succeeds, but Spike and Drusilla [[Kick the Dog|give Dalton to the Judge anyway]].
* [[You Leave Him Alone]]
