Line 8:
* [[Breather Episode]]
* [[Brick Joke]]: The Scoobies remember that Jonathan peed in the pool moments before Xander dives into it. Also the Willow [[Perp Sweating]] Jonathan gag gets repeated in Season 3's "Earshot".
* [[Buffy -Speak]]: Inverted with Giles Speak!
{{quote| '''Giles:''' If you're saying these killings aren't random, it would suggest someone's out for revenge.<br />
'''Buffy:''' And raise the possibility that someone brought forth this sea monster from whence it came to exact that revenge. 'From whence it came'? I'm spending ''way'' too much time around you. }}
* [[Bully Hunter]]: Buffy saves Jonathan from being forcibly dunked in a bucket of water. Jonathan is [[Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like|not happy at being saved by a girl]].
* [[Covert Pervert]]
{{quote| '''Xander:''' Figure I can keep an eye on Gage and the others when Buffy can't.<br />
'''Willow:''' Like when you're nude! (Buffy [[Be Quiet Nudge|elbows her]]) I meant to say 'changing.' }}
* [[Cowardly Lion]]: Xander runs like a girl when he first sees the fish monster; he ends up saving Buffy from being raped by a pack of them.
* [[Date Rape Averted]]: It's generally a bad idea to try and put the moves on a Slayer. Trying to coerce or force her however...well the [[Jerk Jock]] is lucky [[Dean Bitterman|Snyder]] showed up otherwise Buffy wouldn't have stopped with breaking his nose.
* [[Dying Declaration of Love]]: When Cordelia thinks Xander has been turned into a fish monster she makes a quite moving speech for [[Hidden Depths|someone who is portrayed as shallow and obsessed by appearance]].
{{quote| '''Cordy:''' It's me, Cordelia? I know you can't answer me, but... God, this is all my fault. You joined the swim team to impress me. You were so courageous. And you looked really hot in those Speedo's. (chuckles) And I want you to know that I still care about you, no matter what you look like. And... and we can still date. Or, or not. I mean... I understand if you wanna see other fish. I'll do everything I can to make your quality of life better. Whether that means little bath toys or whatever.<br />
'''Xander:''' (walking up behind her) Uh, Cordy? That's not me. }}
* [[Fan Service]]: Xander wearing nothing but speedos.
* [[Fish People]]
* [[Girly Run]]: Xander when suddenly confronted by the fish-monster.
{{quote| '''Cordelia:''' Go ahead. Say it. You ran like a woman. (grins)<br />
'''Xander:''' Hey, if you saw this thing, [[Comically Missing the Point|you'd run like a woman]], too. }}
** And just a few minutes later,
{{quote| '''Xander:''' What about me, what do I do?<br />
'''Cordelia:''' You could go into the parking lot and practice running like a man. }}
* [[Grievous Harm Withwith a Body]]: Angelus escapes Buffy by throwing Gage into her.
* [[Hand or Object Underwear]]: Spoofed when Xander struts into the pool area having secretly joined the swim team, only to be confronted by the female Scoobies staring at him in surprise and some rather frank appreciation. Even though he's already wearing speedoes, a suddenly embarrassed Xander grabs a float board and a tube of lotion to cover the same region.
* [[Heroine With Bad Publicity]]: Buffy gripes that she's out [[I Broke a Nail|breaking her nails]] fighting the forces of darkness while [[Jerk Jock|Jerk Jocks]] get all the glory. Not to mention her delinquent reputation means everyone takes it for granted she's either [[Ax Crazy]] or [[Really Gets Around]].
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Guy!]]: Hey, Gage is [[Prison Break|Michael Scofield]], and Sean is [[ER|Doctor Ray Barnett]]. And hey, Nurse Ruthie is [[Two and A Half Men|Berta]]!
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Buffy escapes the rape attempt and the monsters go for the coach instead.
{{quote| "Wow...they [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|really love their coach]]."}}
* [[Incredibly Obvious Tail]]: Buffy following Gage; doomed to failure given she's already drawn attention to herself by roughing up two other members of the swim team.
* [[Irony]]: Willow accusing Jonathan of delving into black magic. By Season 6 it will be true for both of them.
* [[Jerk Jock]]
* [[Letting the Air Out of Thethe Band]]: When the Scoobies realise that the dripping wet, speedo-wearing hunk who just walked in is...Xander?
* [[Mistaken Confession]]
{{quote| '''Willow:''' You hated being pushed around by Dodd and the others. You wanted revenge. Didn't you? (leans in suddenly) (sternly) Didn't you?!<br />
'''Jonathon:''' (nervously) Yeah! Okay? I did!<br />
'''Willow:''' (with relish) So... You delved into the black arts and conjured up a hellbeast from the ocean's depths to wreak your vengeance.<br />
'''Jonathon:''' (confused) What? No! I snuck in yesterday and... peed in the pool.<br />
'''Willow:''' (disappointed) Oh. (disgusted) Eww! }}
* [[Monster of the Week]]
Line 48:
* [[Perp Sweating]]: Willow gets quite hooked on this.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Buffy after being thrown to the fish monsters.
{{quote| Great. This is just what my reputation needs: that I did it with the entire swim team.}}
* [[Rescue Romance]]: The previously sullen Gage is quite taken with Buffy after he saves her from Angelus.
* [[Self -Disposing Villain]]
* [[Show Some Leg]]: Buffy tries to convince Gage she's a swim groupie, but lacks Cordelia's ability to carry off [[Blatant Lies]].
* [[Space Whale Aesop]]: Steroid abuse leads to becoming a fish-monster. Trying to rape the Slayer will lead to either your nose being broken or torn apart by fish monsters.
* [[Take My Hand]]
* [[Team Spirit]]: Apparently involves steroid abuse and alteration of school grades.
* [[Too Spicy for Yog -Sothoth]]: Angelus tries to sire one of the swim team as a henchvamp for his [[Foreshadowing|upcoming fight against Buffy]]. He doesn't like the taste.
* [[Very Special Episode]]
* [[We Will Meet Again]]: A rare heroic version with Buffy saying "This isn't over" when the coach forces her into the grotto at gunpoint.
