{{work}}

 

Buffy discovers the resurrected Angel, and, realizing he has been driven violently insane by his time in hell, chains him up within his mansion. Meanwhile, dead and mangled bodies once again begin showing up in Sunnydale High.

* [[All Abusers Are Male]]

* [[Bad Liar]]: Oz and Willow walk in on Xander and Giles having an agitated conversation.

'''Oz:''' Just a thought. Poker -- not your game. }}

* [[Bloody Handprint]]: Buffy realises Pete fled through a window thanks to this.

* [[The Confidant]]: Unwilling to share her secret re Angel with the Scoobies, Buffy goes to confide in Platt as he appears to be quirky enough to listen. Unfortunately Pete has got there first.

* [[Cool Versus Awesome]]

Vampire vs The Incredible Hulk! }}

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Substitute Pete's [[Jekyll and Hyde]] formula for booze in the [[Dramatic Shattering]] scene.

* [[Good Is Not Soft]]: Buffy forces Debbie to see what Pete is like, including physically making her look at her abused self in the mirror. It doesn't work, leading to [[I Think You Broke Him|I Think You Broke Her.]]

* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: The first victim is shown lying on a morgue slab with his face turned to the side. Cordelia and Xander are [[Reaction Shot|severely grossed out]], as opposed to Willow who is [[The Determinator]] gathering samples; when she's finished her task however she promptly faints on the spot.

* [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?]]

'''Oz:''' I don't think so, but he hid her music comp book once. }}

* [[I Think You Broke Him]]: A rare version that's not played for comedy.

* [[Jaws First Person Perspective]]: The first victim.

* [[Madness Mantra]]: "He does love me. He does love me."

* [[Monster of the Aesop]]: Though the more [[Anvilicious]] aspects of the trope are averted by including the Oz/Willow and Angel/Buffy relationships as contrasts.

* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Pete attacking Oz just before he transforms. Bad idea.

* [[Music Soothes the Savage Beast]]: Well, literature in this case, specifically ''[[Call of the Wild]]'', which Willow reads to Oz when he's transformed (as long as you don't mention rabbits).

* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: This episode marks the new look of Buffyverse werewolves from [[People in Rubber Suits|Man in Hairy Wolf-Head Suit]] to a more lupine/apelike style.

* [[The Speechless]]: Angel can only growl and snarl. Buffy realises there's still hope for Angel when [[The Power of Love|he speaks her name]].

* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Willow puts up towels to give Oz some privacy when he transforms back into a human.

* [[Trial Balloon Question]]: Buffy tells Giles she dreamed of Angel's return (as Buffy has had prophetic dreams he's not suspicious or dismissive) to find out whether there's any hope for Angel's recovery. Giles bringing up the subject of Jenny's death doesn't encourage her to come clean.

* [[Very Special Episode]]
