Line 8:
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: To drive the point home, [[Eliza Dushku]] is credited as "Buffy".
* [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?]]: Faith tries to get Riley to do nasty things to Buffy's body, for some sick reason known only to her. The fact he doesn't helps her along her [[Heel Face Turn]].
* [[Aura Vision]]: Tara realises something is wrong with Buffy because her aura is "fragmented," as if someone had forced something into it that didn't belong.
* [[Being Evil Sucks]]
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: On the verge of leaving Sunnydale, Faith returns to deal with a gang of vampires who have taken over a church.
Line 25:
* [[Description Cut]]: Faith says she'll be "out there doing my job" (patrolling). Cut to Faith dancing wildly at the Bronze.
** At the end of the episode Riley says that Faith won't be back because she's "had her fun". Cut to Faith hiding in the back of a boxcar, an empty look on her face.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Remember, that sweaty panting hand-holding eye-fucking falling-backwards-in-ecstasy scene between Willow and Tara is a ''spell''.
** Called "The passage to the [[Double Entendre|nether-realm]]."
* [[Double Standard Rape (Sci Fi)]]: Averted; Buffy is furious that Riley slept with Faith, and it certainly fuels her desire for revenge when pursuing Faith in Los Angeles. Might also double as a [[Continuity Nod]] if Angel ever mentioned Faith's earlier rape attempt.
* [[Dramatic Shattering]] / [[Percussive Therapy]]: Furious over being sexually taunted by 'Buffy', Spike throws his bottle against the wall and shoves aside an [[Innocent Bystander]], causing the chip in his head to jolt him with pain.
Line 36:
{{quote|I could have anything. Anyone. Even you, Spike. I could ride you at a gallop until your legs buckled and your eyes rolled up. I've got muscles you've never even ''dreamed'' of. I could ''squeeze'' you until you pop like warm champagne and you'd ''beg'' me to hurt you just a little bit more.}}
* [[Foe Yay]]: If Spike wasn't sexually obsessed with Slayers before, he certainly would be after Faith's little speech.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: "When they get this chip out, [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S6 E9/E09 Smashed|you and me are going to have a confrontation]]."
** The next stage in Adam's plan is shown by his gaining followers [[Fantastic Racism|across the vampire/demon divide]].
* [[Friend Versus Lover]]: Subverted; Willow thinks Tara is pulling this, but Tara means it [[Not Herself|literally]].
Line 68:
{{quote|[[Badass Boast|I have strength you couldn't dream of.]] (punches Faith hard in the face) [[Dark Messiah|Adam has shown me the way,]] (punches her again) and [[Tempting Fate|there is nothing]]-- (Buffy stakes him from behind)}}
* [[Limited Social Circle]]: Willow is reluctant to invite Tara into the Scoobies because she wants a friend that's hers alone.
* [[Longing Look]]: Faith realises instantly from the look Tara gives Willow that the two are gay lovers.
* [[Male Gaze]]: Used deliberately with a close-up of Faith-in-Buffy's-body bending over on Riley's bed. In her [[Fan Service|tight leather pants]].
* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: Faith's little freak out with Riley and subsequent [[Heel Face Turn]] appears to be due to Willow and Tara. Or she could just as easily begin to realize what a monster she had become, [[Death Seeker|leading to her trip to LA.]]
Line 90:
{{quote|'''Buffy-in-Faith's-body:''' You can't win this.
'''Faith-in-Buffy's-body:''' Shut up! Do you think I'm afraid of you? ''(starts punching Buffy, beating her own face)'' You're nothing! Disgusting! Murderous bitch! You're nothing! [[You Make Me Sick|You're disgusting!]] }}
* [[Required Spinoff Crossover]]: Faith's story continues in the ''[[Angel]]'' episode "[[Angel/Recap/S01 /E18 Five By Five|Five by Five]]"
* [[Revealing Hug]]: Faith grimaces and pulls free of Joyce's embrace, not used to such [[Abusive Parents|motherly affection]].
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Why is Willow wearing one of Buffy's rings?
* [[Seeking Sanctuary]]: Inverted - on Adam's encouragement, vampires barge into a church and take everyone hostage to prove they've risen above old superstitions.
{{quote|'''Boone:''' It's hard to believe. I've been avoiding this place for so many years, and it's nothing. It's nice, got the pretty windows, the pillars, lots of folks to eat. Where's the thing I was so afraid of? You know, the Lord? He's supposed to be here! He gave us this address. Well, we'll just have to start killing off his people, and see if he shows up.}}
* [[Sexy Discretion Shot]]: The Riley/Faith love scene cuts away to Willow/Tara doing their spell with lots of suggestive heavy breathing, which means we have a [[Sexy Discretion Shot]] covered by a [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] shot!
Line 129:
* [[With My Hands Tied]]: Collins goes to execute Buffy-in-Faith's body; Buffy grabs his pistol between her feet and pulls his head into the bars, then uses the gun to shoot out the various locks.
* [[You Have to Believe Me]] / [[Spot the Imposter]]: Buffy is quite able to convince Giles that it's her by rattling off a string of rather embarrassing facts about their relationship that Faith couldn't know.
{{quote|'''Buffy-in-Faith:''' Giles, [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S4 /E12 A New Man|you turned into a demon]] and I knew it was you! I mean, can't you just look in my eyes and be all intuitive?<br />
'''Giles:''' ''(suddenly interested)'' How did I turn into a demon?<br />
'''Buffy-in-Faith:''' Oh! 'cause, uh... Ethan Rayne! And-and you have a girlfriend named Olivia, and you haven't had a job since we blew up the school... ''(beat)'' ... which is valid, lifestyle-wise. ''(Giles is abashed)'' I mean, it's not like you're a slacker type or - Oh, oh! [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S3 /E19 Earshot|When I had psychic power]], I heard my mom think that you were [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S3 E6/E06 Band Candy|like a stevedore during sex]]. Wh- Do you want me to continue?<br />
'''Giles:''' Actually, I beg you to stop.<br />
'''Buffy-in-Faith:''' What's a stevedore?<ref> A type of dock worker who unloads boat merchandise. Needless to say he has to be very fit regarding ummm...repetitive tasks.</ref> }}
