Line 5:
* [[Blatant Lies]]: Spike tells Harmony he's going to watch the demons kill the Slayer; he actually saves her life.
* [[Book Ends]]: Tara's "insect reflection" joke. At the beginning of the episode, she tells it and nobody gets it; at the end of the episode she explains it to Anya.
{{quote| '''Anya:''' But it's still not funny}}
* [[Brick Joke]]: The "insect reflection" joke again.
** Xander suggests that a [[Crystal Ball]] is too cheesy a present for a witch. At the birthday party we see Tara faking a smile as she unwraps the ball.
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Willow says there's "Scooby-age afoot".
* [[Calling Your Orgasms]]: In Spike's [[Daydream Surprise|sex fantasy]].
{{quote| '''Spike:''' You want me, Slayer? Come and get me!<br />
'''Buffy:''' Oh I'm coming. I'm coming right NOW! ''([[Smash Cut]] to Spike finding 'sweet release' in Harmony)'' }}
* [[Casual Kink]]: Buffy promises to reward Riley by wearing "[[Sexy Whatever Outfit|outfits]]".
Line 19:
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Buffy says that her father is now living in Spain with his secretary, and that [[Took a Level In Jerkass|he didn't even call]] when she left a message about Joyce being sick.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The Wicca lifestyle as homosexuality. Tara's father said she doesn't try to hide who she is anymore, while holding a phallic crystal. Then there's this exchange:
{{quote| Buffy: "Thinking there will be a lot of Wiccans there? Heavy Wiccan crowd?"<br />
Xander: "That's sort of her deal. Her and Willow are all Wiccie. Swinging with the Wiccan lifestyle."<br />
Buffy: "[[Not That There's Anything Wrong with That|Which is cool!]]"<br />
Xander: "Oh yeah." }}
* [[Flying Broomstick]]: Dawn gives Tara a broomstick for her birthday.
* [[Go Through Me]]: The whole gang does this to protect Tara from her abusive family. Except Spike.
{{quote| '''Buffy''': "If you want Tara, you'll have to go through all of us."<br />
'''Spike''': "Except me."<br />
'''Xander''': "Except Spike."<br />
'''Spike''': "I don't care what happens." }}
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Spike saves Buffy's life from a demon, and despite his above claim of indifference {{spoiler|hits Tara to prove she's not a demon.}}
Line 35:
* [[Interplay of Sex and Violence]]: Spike fantasizes about [[Combat Sadomasochist|getting his ass kicked by Buffy]] while having sex with Harmony.
* [[I Resemble That Remark]]
{{quote| '''Tara:''' Yeah. You learn her source ''(grins)'' and, uh, we'll introduce her to her insect reflection. ''(everyone stares at her)'' Um ... that, that was funny if you, um, studied Taglarin mythic rites...and are a complete dork.<br />
'''Riley:''' Oh, then how come Xander didn't laugh? <br />
'''Xander:''' I don't know that Taglarin stuff. }}
* [[Isn't It Ironic?]]: You'd think they could have chosen a better number for the closing scene than a love song to {{spoiler|a ''television''}}!
* [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]: Glory pushes out of a pile of rubble.
{{quote| "OK. Now...I'm...upset."}}
* [[Last-Second Word Swap]]
** Tara seeing her family again.
{{quote| "How did you fi-- I, I mean, how come you came?}}
** Spike hearing the demons are going to kill Buffy.
{{quote| "God, that would be...pleasant."}}
* [[Love Floats]]: The episode ends with Tara and Willow slow-dancing at the Bronze. A [[Reveal Shot]] shows they're floating a foot above the ground.
* [[Nonhuman Lover Reveal]]
Line 56:
* [[Stock Phrases]]: Beth snaps, "I hope you're happy!" after Tara rejects her blood family for the Scoobies. Tara just smiles because yes, she is now.
* [[Suspect Is Hatless]]: Giles is trying to establish who Glory is, but isn't having any luck -- all Buffy can tell him is that she looks human, acts like [[Alpha Bitch|Cordelia]] and recently dyed her hair.
{{quote| '''Giles:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|Our work is done]].}}
* [[True Companions]] / [[Friendship Moment]]
{{quote| '''Mr. Maclay:''' This is insane. You people have no right to interfere with Tara's affairs. WE are her blood kin! Who the hell are you?<br />
''[Shot of Giles, Dawn, Buffy, Willow, Tara, Xander, and Anya all standing together in a group, with Spike in the background.]''<br />
'''Buffy:''' We're family. }}
* [[Was It All a Lie?]]
{{quote| '''Willow:''' Tara ... look at me. I, I trusted you more than anyone in my life. Was all that just a lie?
}}
