* [[Cosmic Retcon]]

* [[Creepy Child]]: Dawn after Buffy's trance revelation.

* [[Description Cut]]

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: When Buffy does a meditative ritual to try to find out what's wrong with Joyce, it looks very much like she's getting high -- she won't let Dawn into her room, burns incense and tries to cover it up by sticking a towel under the door, and afterward we see through her eyes and her sight is wonky. As Riley says beforehand, "Have a nice trip."

* [[Lotus Position]]: Buffy meditating.

* [[Mad Oracle]]: Buffy finds the security guard from the warehouse stark-raving and [[Strapped to An Operating Table]]; when he sees Buffy he shouts, "Don't think you're above it, missy.
