Line 4:
* [[Affably Evil]]: Doc
* [[Ambiguously Evil]]: The Ghora Demon. Sure it's big, ugly, and nasty, but only a threat because Dawn and Spike sneak into its lair to steal its eggs.
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Spike vs. the Ghora Demon.
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: How Dawn sees Buffy's reaction to their mother dying. Turns out, not so much.
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
'''Buffy:''' They said ... "probably" ... wouldn't have made a difference. The exact thing they said ... was "probably." I haven't told that to anyone. }}
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Giles is shown alone in his house listening to ''Tales of Brave Ulysses'', which he played for Joyce in "Band Candy".
* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: Raising the dead is this for Wicca, as both Tara and Willow warn Dawn.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Buffy can't contact her father in Spain.
* [[Dramatic Thunder]]: A distant peal of thunder is heard when Dawn casts the resurrection spell.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Several of the issues raised with {{spoiler|Buffy's return from the dead in Season 6.}} Also Dawn turning to Willow/Tara as a [[Has Two Mommies|surrogate family]] when she thinks her sister is emotionally distant.
* [["Glad to Be Alive" Sex]]: Anya and Xander. Angel has to leave Buffy to [[Can't Have Sex Ever|prevent this happening]].
* [[Hey, Wait!]]: Non-comedic example; Dawn thinks Spike is going to stop her from doing the ritual or tell on her. Spike, in fact, wants to help her do it right.
* [[I Miss Mom]]: Dawn tries to solve this problem by raising the dead. Never a pitfall free solution to this problem.
** Climaxes in a real [[Tear Jerker]] scene when Buffy confronts Dawn over her use of dark magic. Dawn accuses Buffy of not even missing her, prompting Buffy to break down in tears, revealing that she was just trying to stay strong for Dawn's sake. Dawn is so moved and Buffy is so distraught after opening the floodgates to her grief that they end up switching positions on the resurrection spell, with Buffy rushing to greet "mom" at the door and Dawn deciding to undo the spell at the last second and let their mother rest in peace.
