{{quote| ''"It's not the demon in me that needs killing, Buffy. It's the man."''}}
 
Angel is haunted by the spirits of people he's killed, and the Scooby Gang suspect an ancient evil is involved.
 
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Fourteen million square miles of them, and that's not including a lot of natural cave formations and a gateway to Hell.
* [[Accidental Innuendo]] ([[In -Universe]]): Joyce is putting up the Christmas decorations; Buffy is thinking about her [[Erotic Dream]].
{{quote| '''Joyce:''' So, angel's on top again?<br />
'''Buffy:''' (startled) What?<br />
'''Joyce:''' (holds up an angel and a star) Angel or star?<br />
'''Buffy:''' Oh, uh... star. Star. }}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: The maid Margaret is played by Cornelia Hayes O'Herlihy, who played Princess Margaret in ''Gods and Monsters''.
* [[Always a Bigger Fish]]
{{quote| '''Willy:''' Apparently there's been a lot of migration out of Sunnydale from the lower inhabitants. Something's scaring them off, and these are things that aren't easily scared.}}
* [[Blatant Lies]]: Faith turns down Buffy's offer of Christmas dinner, claiming she's already been invited to a big party.
* [[Call Back]]: Joyce claiming that Giles didn't want to share Christmas with them is undoubtedly due to the embarrassing events of "Band Candy".
Line 20:
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Giles opens the door to find Angel standing there asking for a [[Vampire Invitation]]. He keeps it together and walks into the kitchen, then comes out with a loaded crossbow. [[Oh Crap]].
* [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu]]: Unless you're Buffy.
{{quote| '''The First:''' You think you can fight me? I'm not a demon, little girl. I am something that you can't even conceive. The First Evil. Beyond sin, beyond death. I am the thing the darkness fears. You'll never see me, but I am everywhere. Every being, every thought, every drop of hate--<br />
'''Buffy:''' Alright, I get it. You're evil. Do we have to chat about it all day? }}
**
{{quote| '''The First:''' [[You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With|You have no idea what you're dealing with.]]<br />
'''Buffy:''' Let me guess. Is it...evil? }}
* [[Driven to Suicide]]
Line 32:
* [[Eyeless Face]]: Bringers, Harbingers. They have a 'no eyes' kinda look.
* [[Failed Attempt At Drama]]: After Willow says she wants to sleep with him, Oz responds by standing up.
{{quote| '''Willow:''' Where are you going?<br />
'''Oz:''' No, I'm not going. Just a dramatic gesture. }}
** [[Something Else Also Rises]]: After Willow goes into more detail about what she wants from him, he quickly has to sit down again.
* [[Final Boss Preview]]: The First Evil will return as the [[Big Bad]] of Season 7.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Angel drinking Buffy's blood comes to pass as the First predicts, albeit for different reasons. And we get our first mention of Xander's troubled home life in a reference to him sleeping outside to avoid their drunken squabbles.
** What Buffy says to Angel "Strong is fighting! It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day" is what he puts into practice in the spin-off series ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]''.
* [[Flashback Echo]]: Showing Angel as the drunken lout he was before being turned into a vampire.
* [[Frothy Mugs of Water]]: [[Played for Laughs]] as Willow has a couple of soda bottles in a champagne ice bucket.
Line 47:
* [[I Didn't Mean to Turn You On]]: Angel encounters Buffy in her bedroom wearing a blood-red dress, her hair pinned up to expose her neck and her lower lip trembling from repressed emotion -- he has to jump out the window to prevent himself from jumping her.
* [[I Have a Family]]
{{quote| '''Margaret:''' (terrified) Sir! My son!<br />
'''Angelus:''' Oh, he'll make a fine dessert. }}
* [[Inadvertent Entrance Cue]]: Xander asks who else could have as pathetic a social life as he does. Cue Willow walking through the door.
Line 54:
* [[Insecure Love Interest]]
* [[I Wished You Were Dead]]: Inverted
{{quote| '''Buffy:''' I love you so much... And I tried to make you go away... I killed you and it didn't help. (crying) And I hate it! I hate that it's ''so'' hard... and that you can hurt me ''so'' much. (sobs, then harshly) I know everything that you did, because you did it to me. Oh, God! I wish that I wished you dead. I don't. (whispers) I can't.}}
* [[No Time to Explain]]: Buffy to Faith -- [[Aesop Amnesia]] is averted when Buffy stresses that she ''will'' explain, all of it, remembering the lesson of "Revelations".
* [[Lady in Red]]: Invoked deliberately by Willow and accidentally by Buffy.
* [[Let's Wait Aa While]]: Oz turns down Willow's offer to lose her virginity, aware she's doing it just to prove she really loves him.
* [[Mind Rape]]: The First tries to pull one on Angel.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The Harbingers of Death.
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]
{{quote| '''Buffy:''' Alright, ten more minutes of chanting and then you guys have to go to bed.}}
* [[Perp Sweating]]: Xander isn't very good at it.
{{quote| '''Willy:''' Doesn't ring a bell.<br />
'''Xander:''' (menacingly) How about I ring that bell for you? (hopefully to Buffy) Does the threatening come now?<br />
'''Buffy:''' Maybe you shouldn't help. }}
* [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: Angelus bullies a servant into agreeing to have sex with him, and ''then'' shows her his [[Game Face]].
Line 77:
* [[Twisted Christmas]]
* [[Two Scenes, One Dialogue]]
{{quote| '''Giles:''' You realize if he [Angel] truly becomes a danger, you may have to kill him. Again. Can you do that?<br />
''Buffy is silent. Cut to Angel in his mansion''<br />
'''Angel:''' I can't do it! }}
* [[Villains Never Lie]]
{{quote| '''Buffy:''' Some great evil takes credit for bringing you back and you buy it?}}
* [[Walking Wasteland]]: The Bringers cause the Christmas trees to wilt over their heads.
* [[You Have No Idea Who You're Dealing With]]: And at this point in the series, Buffy really doesn't know. Then again she doesn't really care either.
