Line 13:
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: After going "Repeato Girl" over Dracula's charm, Riley accuses Buffy of transferring her feelings for Angel, causing her to assure him, "I'm not transfer-y!"
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Xander refers to himself [[Trope Namer|for the first time]].

''[Giles, Riley, and Buffy nod and try to look solemn]''<br />
'''Buffy:''' Check. No more butt-monkey. }}
Line 37:
** The tension between Riley and Spike continues over the season {{spoiler|especially after Spike falls in love with Buffy.}}
** Xander's rant about no longer being the [[Butt Monkey]] -- this season he starts making a serious attempt to get a life, starting in "The Replacement".
** Dracula tells Buffy that her "power is rooted in darkness". Buffy discovers the origin of the Slayer's power in the Season 7 episode "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S7

{{quote|'''Buffy:''' You think I don't watch your movies? [[Not Quite Dead|You always come back]].}}
Line 81:
'''Dracula:''' Don't fight. I can feel your hunger. ''(bites her -- [[Kiss of the Vampire|Buffy moans]])'' }}
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: Spike complains that Dracula's taste for publicity has taught the entire world how to kill vampires. Dracula makes Buffy drink from his blood to reveal her true dark nature {{spoiler|as the Vampire Slayer.}}
* [[No Hero to His Valet]]: Spike is the only member of the cast unimpressed by Dracula's reputation, calling him a "gloryhound" whose powers are little more than "showy gypsy stuff", adding that Drac has done more damage to vampires than even the Slayer has, that because of his movies, everyone knows how to kill them. He's also irked because Drac owes him £11.
* [[Not Herself]]: Buffy turns down Riley's offer of a jelly donut.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Dracula's stock powers (hypnosis, shapeshifting, teleportation, invulnerability) actually make him the strongest vamp in the Buffyverse. Spike claims it's all "showy gypsy stuff".
Line 90 ⟶ 91:
'''Dracula:''' Silence.
'''Xander:''' Yes Master. }}
* [[Shrouded in Myth]]: Dracula, of course. Giles implies as much.
* [[Even Heroes Have Heroes|The Slayers Who Say Squee]]: Buffy's initial reaction to Dracula is like a girl with a [[Celeb Crush]]. She's delighted that ''he'' has actually heard of ''her''.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Justified due to Drac's ability to do his "[[Buffy-Speak|poof thing]]"
Line 98 ⟶ 100:
{{spoiler|'''Buffy and Dawn:''' MOM!}} }}
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: Dracula owes Spike £11.
* [[Worthy Adversary]]: Both Dracula ''and'' Buffy view each other this way.
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Buffy sneaks out of Riley's bed to get in a little slaying on the side. Later Riley reacts to Dracula's bite like a jealous boyfriend whose girl is sporting someone else's hickey.
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]: Albeit one with indecisive outcome.
