Trying to escape Glory, the Scoobies leave town only to be cornered by the Knights of Byzantium.

 

* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Dante, who may be of "moorish" ancestry.

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Knights on horses attacking a Winnebago.

* [[Are We There Yet?]]

'''Dawn:''' That kinda only works if you know where you're going. }}

* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Spike grabs a sword blade that's shoved through the roof before it strikes Buffy.

* [[Fridge Logic]]: How did the Knights know which way the Scoobies were heading, or catch up on their horses?

'''Spike:''' You mighta let it slip in. Once or twice. }}

* [[Frying Pan of Doom]]: Wielded by Anya.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]

'''Buffy''': We won't! (to Giles) Aim for the horsies. }}

* [[Heroine Worshipper]]: Dawn raves over how Buffy saved her from last week's cliffhanger. Given that all Buffy did was let Glory get hit by a handy truck, Buffy is not so impressed by herself.

* [[Heroic Blue Screen of Death]]: So bad that Buffy's stuck like this till the next episode.

* [[A House Divided]]: Seeing Ben is an outsider, Gregor tries to encourage him to kill the Key.

* [[The Laws and Customs of War]]: The Knights allow Ben to pass through to treat Giles.

* [[Look Both Ways]]: Glory gets slowed down (though not killed -- she is [[Implacable Man|The Unstoppable Woman]], after all) when she's hit by a truck... after standing in the road talking to Buffy for almost a full minute. That must be one hell of a bad driver.

* [[Mercy Kill]]: Dante kills a [[Mind Rape|Mind Raped]] Orlando.

* [[Mundane Utility]]: Willow uses magic on the payphone in the gas station to get it working again.

* [[No Except Yes]]:

* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Buffy is freaked, as everyone notices.

* [[Run or Die]]

* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: And then whoosh! Wham! Hell-bitch in orbit!

* [[So Proud of You]]: A wounded Giles to Buffy.
