Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S2/E13 Surprise: Difference between revisions

* [[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.

* [[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?

* [[The Mole]]: Jenny Calender was sent to Sunnydale to watch Angel.

* [[Pretentious Latin Motto]]

'''Buffy:''' Fish of the day? <br />

'''Willow:''' Not carp -- carpe! }}

* [[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 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]]

{{quote| '''Angel:''' Leave her [Buffy] alone!<br />

'''Spike:''' Yeah, that'll work. Now say pretty please. }}
