Joyce is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Glory buys things from Giles' new magic shop that can raise a monster that can find The Key.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Spike taunts Riley with Buffy's liking for "bad boys", particularly vampires.

Face it, white bread. Buffy's got a type, and you're not it. She likes us dangerous, rough, occasionally bumpy in the forehead region. (patronizingly) Not that she doesn't like you ... but sorry Charlie, you're just not dark enough.

Chain Pain: Buffy throttles the cobra-demon with a handy chain.
Comforting Comforter: Riley drapes his leather coat over a sleeping Dawn.
Conspicuous CGI: The cobra demon.
Department of Redundancy Department

Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles.
Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We've got dizzy circles here, Giles.

Description Cut: Xander comments that the demon chick they're trying to find is "No doubt lurking around some sewer or condemned church or rat-infested warehouse. You know, the usual haunts." Cut to Glory trying on new shoes in her Big Fancy House.
Does This Make Me Look Fat?: Glory trying on shoes.

Does this pump make my ankle look bony?

From the Mouths of Babes: Dawn talking to Riley about Buffy/Angel.

Every day was like the end of the world. She doesn't get worked up like that over you.

Half Truth: Spike doesn't hesitate to play up the fact that he spent the night drinking with Buffy in "Fool for Love" as meaning she's closer to him than Riley wants.
Idiot Ball: Buffy rushes off to confront Glory a second time because she's frustrated over not being able to help her mother. Riley responds to Spike's taunts by making out with vampire chicks.
Kneel Before Zod

Glory: Get up. Looking at you is hurting my neck.

Magical Incantation

Glory: Sobek, grant the power ... that it may mold this wretched creature ... that it may be reborn ... that it may serve ... Argh! Dark incantations! Always overwritten!

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Giles sells Glory the items she needs for her rite.
Percussive Therapy: Buffy fails to kill the cobra-demon by strangling it with a chain, so she works off her frustrations by beating it to death with her bare hands.
Perverted Sniffing: Riley catches Spike sniffing Buffy's clothes, which he tries to excuse as "standard predator behavior". As Riley throws him out Spike snatches her panties from a drawer.
Professional Butt-Kisser: Glory's minion Dreg. He's even eager to let Glory rip out his tongue when he thinks he might have offended her.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: The cobra-demon when it detects The Key.
Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Unless you're Anya.

Anya: Reptile demon -- Sobekites were reptile worshippers.
Xander: Just once I would like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers.
Anya: (angrily) Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Right in Front of Me: Giles is saying that there's no way of knowing where Glory will turn up next, turns around and finds himself facing...a blonde, attractive customer whom he's never seen before.
Ripped From the Phone Book: Glory with the Magic Box add.
Sublime Rhyme: Willow sums up Riley's One-Man Army act in "Fool for Love" as "Tomb kaboom!"
Screaming Woman: Dawn. Well you would too if you came face to fang with a huge cobra-demon.
Special Effect Failure: The snake demon, fondly known by the fans as "Fake the Snake."
Stiff Upper Lip: Buffy's tendency to repress her emotions around others starts to aggravate Riley, as he's used to playing the strong protective male role.
Tantrum Throwing: Glory when her snakey-wakey doesn't return.
Tempting Fate: Played for Drama when Spike taunts Riley he's not dark enough for Buffy; Riley responds by shoving him out into the sunlight. "Am I dark enough for you now?"
That Makes Me Feel Angry: Glory expresses mild annoyance that Buffy is trying to beat her to a pulp.

Glory: No fair- (Buffy kicks her) attacking- (Buffy punches her in the stomach, then in the face) when I wasn't even looking! (Buffy grabs her head and begins slamming it against the wall) Ow! (She grabs Buffy's hand, removes it from her head, and slams Buffy into the wall.) No, this is no good. (Buffy rises and tries to punch her again; Glory grabs Buffy's arm and pulls it behind her) I'm out of the moment... (braces her other hand against Buffy's shoulder) and you're not giving me anything I can use.

Villainous Demotivator: Glory to Dreg.

I mean, nothing worse than a [spell] that doesn't work. Then I'd have to get all mad and kill you!

Wasn't That Fun?: Glory raising the snake demon. Fun, fun, fun!
