* [[Badass Long Robe]]: Toth
{{quote|
'''Giles:''' Um, sort of more ... uh ... turned and swept out majestically. }}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Scruffy!Xander
* [[Call Back]]: Willow, to the events of [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer
{{quote|
'''Xander:''' Hey, you wait until you have an evil twin. Let's see how you handle it. (Exits)
'''Willow:''' (Bemused, to herself) I think I handled it just fine. }}
* [[Captain Obvious]]
{{quote|
* [[Continuity Cavalcade]]: Riley is helping Xander leave his parent's basement forever.
{{quote|

* [[Damned By Faint Praise]]
{{quote|
'''Willow:''' That's not true! Sometimes we all helped save you. (realizes that was unhelpful) And sometimes you're not in trouble. }}
* [[A Day in
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Joyce shows that [[It Runs in The Family]].
{{quote|
'''Buffy:''' She's watching us [Buffy/Riley smooching] like a big freak!
'''Joyce:''' (sighs, puts hand to her forehead) This must be my "two teenage girls in the house" headache. I thought it felt familiar.
'''Buffy:''' Good work, Dawn. You gave her a headache.
'''Dawn:''' I did not! (to Joyce) Did I give you a headache, Mom? I'm sure part of it is Buffy's.
'''Buffy:''' But part of it is Dawn's.
'''Joyce:''' It's so nice you've learned to share. }}
* [[Description Cut]]: Willow re witch cliches. "Who uses a cauldron any more?" Cut to the demon using a bubbling cauldron for his incantation.
* [[Did Not Do the Bloody Research]]: [[In
* [[Empathic Environment]]: It rains on Xander when he goes to get Buffy's help, only to find his other self has got their first and Buffy is fixing to kill him.
* [[Evil Twin]]: {{spoiler|
* [[Eyes Never Lie]]: Averted; Anya can't tell the difference between the two Xanders, despite Scruffy!Xander's plea.
* [[Get a Room]]: Xander opens a door in his new apartment to find Buffy and Riley making out. He tells them to go find a bedroom, then realises they're already in one.
* [[Hollywood Healing]]: Averted; Anya is still recovering from a dislocated shoulder, after being knocked down by Mort in the previous episode.
* [[Hypno Trinket]]: Xander notices his [[Evil Twin]] carries a shiny coin that appears to change everyone's attitude towards him.
* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: Toth is very strong, very durable, and the weapon he uses (a "ferula-gemina") is potentially very deadly. Fortunately for Buffy, he has very bad aim.
* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Giles rummages in a box for something to ward off Toth. He finds a rabbit's foot, then a wooden statue.
{{quote|
* [[Literal Split Personality]]: {{spoiler|Toth's weapon was meant to split Buffy into her human and Slayer sides -- he would then kill the weaker human version, causing the other to die. Instead it seperates Xander into an "aggressive" Xander (charming, well-groomed, and confident; but hot-headed and impetuous) and a "passive" Xander (awkward, paranoid, and insecure; but with Xander's trademark sense of humor).}}
* [[Martial Arts Do Not Work That Way]]: Buffy complains about the unrealistic fight scenes in the chop-socky movie.
* [[Moment Killer]]: Dawn on the Buffy/Riley snog.

* [[I Say What I Say]]
{{quote|
'''Xanders''': Kill us both, Spock!
'''Willow''': They seem more normal now.
'''Giles''': Yes, I think he's a bad influence on himself. }}
* [[Red Herring]]: {{spoiler|The shiny coin the other Xander carries isn't used to hypnotize people, it's just a trinket.}} Also Spike's dummy appears to be about him plotting to kill Buffy, but it's actually [[Foreshadowing]] his obsession with her.
Line 63 ⟶ 64:
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Our first sight of Suave!Xander.
* [[Shout-Out]]: When they try to put the two Xanders back together.
{{quote|
'''Both Xanders:''' [[Star Trek:
* [[Spot the Imposter]]: Xander does the [[Happy Dance|Snoopy dance]] to prove he's the real Xander. Willow is rather confused, as she doesn't even know there's two Xanders walking around.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Not that Xander is still into Buffy -- not that he ''ever'' was.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Xander gets hit by Toth's magical blast when he shoves Buffy aside.
* [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]]
{{quote|
'''Suave Xander:''' We're completely identical.
'''Scruffy Xander:''' Yeah, we checked out some stuff in the car on the way over... (off Anya's look) Fingerprints!
'''Anya:''' Well, maybe we shouldn't do this reintegration thing right away. See, I can take the boys home, and... we can all have sex together, and... you know, just slap 'em back together in the morning.
'''Suave Xander:''' She's joking.
'''Scruffy Xander:''' No she's not! She entirely wants to have sex with us together. Which is... '''wrong''' , and, and it would be very confusing.
'''Anya:''' It's not like it'd be cheating. They're both Xander. }}

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: One look at the dump and Riley continues to lose faith in humanity.
