Line 7:
Willow finally de-rats Amy. Spike's chip has apparently stopped working. The Trio steal a diamond from the museum.
 
* [[Accidental Innuendo]] ([[In -Universe]])
{{quote| '''Buffy:''' You have a lead on this [[Buffy-Speak|ice monster thingy]]?<br />
'''Spike:''' Something like that, yeah. Thought you might be up for a little grunt-work.<br />
Line 16:
* [[Blatant Lies]]: Dawn telling Tara that Willow has cut down on her magic use. Buffy on why she kissed Spike. Buffy on why Spike called her on the phone.
* [[Brutal Honesty]]
{{quote| '''Anya:''' Oh, for crying out loud. This is bizarre. You're all, 'la la la!' with, with the magic, and the not talking, like everything's normal, when we all know that Tara up and left you and [[Elephant in Thethe Living Room|now everyone's scared to say anything to you]]. (pauses, smiles) Except me. (looks at Xander) Is this that thing I do that you were commenting-- (Xander nods)}}
* [[The Bus Came Back]]
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Spike becomes the [[Trope Namer]] in reference to Buffy. If he can hit her without his [[Restraining Bolt]] firing, it means that [[Not So Different|she too is a demon]]. It's this revelation, as well as the [[Interplay of Sex and Violence|sexual excitement generated by fighting Spike]], that causes Buffy to give in to her feelings for him.
Line 32:
'''Buffy:''' Spike?<br />
'''Spike:''' Bloody hell ''([[Musicalis Interruptus|music cuts off]] and Spike talks normally)'' Yes, it's me. }}
* [[Continuity Lock Out]] ([[In -Universe]])
{{quote| '''Amy:''' I felt like I was in that cage for weeks. (Willow looks nervous) But it can still be okay ... right? I-I can still get into the swing of things, like ... prom's coming up. I-I'm so hoping Larry would ask me. We would make such a splash at- (sees Willow's expression) Oh. Oh god. (sighs, anxiously) He hasn't asked someone else, has he?<br />
'''Willow:''' Uh, Amy ... three things we have to talk about. One, [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)/Recap/S2 E15 Phases|Larry's gay]]. Two, [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)/Recap/S3 E22 Graduation Day Part 2|Larry's dead]]. And three, high school's ... kinda over. }}
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Spike can enter the Trio's headquarters without a [[Vampire Invitation]] because Warren's mother invited him inside in "I Was Made To Love You."
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: The episode ends on our first Spuffy sex scene, with the day after shown in "Wrecked".
Line 53:
** Buffy initiating sex with Spike in the middle of a violent confrontation will have dire consequences in "Seeing Red".
* [[Freeze Ray]]
* [[Freud Was Right]] ([[In -Universe]]): While admiring the diamond, the Trio conclude that size is indeed everything.
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Buffy jumping up and down to see over the crowd at the museum.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The (rather loud) sound of Buffy undoing Spike's trouser zipper.
Line 73:
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Warren's "Dude that is so cool!" after using the [[Freeze Ray]].
* [[Interplay of Sex and Violence]]: Getting into a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] with Spike gets Buffy so excited she gives into her lust for him.
* [[Interrogation Byby Vandalism]]: Spike gets the Trio to work for him by holding their limited edition [[Star Wars|Boba Fett]] action figure hostage.
* [[It Doesn't Mean Anything]]: Buffy tells Spike she only kissed him because she was depressed over Giles leaving for England. Spike just smirks and asks, "Did it work? Did you convince yourself?"
* [[Language of Magic]]: With the spell being in Italian rather than Latin.
* [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others]]: Since Amy was turned into a rat; Synder was eaten by a snake, the high school got destroyed, and Gatorade has a new flavor -- Blue.
* [[Let Us Never Speak of This Again]]: Buffy would ''so'' like to do this with the whole kissing Spike thing. Spike of course has no intention of letting the subject [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)/Recap/S6 E7 Once More With Feeling|rest in peace]].
* [[Love Is in Thethe Air]]: Amy makes a tall brunette lesbian instantly fall for Willow. Originally she was supposed to make the two annoying frat boys make out with each other, but [[Joss Whedon]] thought that would have [[Unfortunate Implications]] over being able to change someone's sexuality at the flick of a switch.
* [["Mission Impossible" Cable Drop]]: Parodied when Andrew drops down on cables to steal a diamond, only to have Warren and Jonathan stroll into the museum normally.
* [[Mixed Metaphor]] / [[Master of the Mixed Message]]
{{quote| '''Spike:''' You're a tease, you know that, Slayer? Get a fellow's motor revving, let the tension marinate a couple-a days, then bam! Crown yourself the ice queen.<br />
'''Buffy:''' Need a few more metaphors for that little mix? }}
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Using magic for [[Hollywood Hacking]] and playing pool.
* [[Naked Onon Arrival]]: Amy
* [[Never My Fault]]: Willow keeps insisting that Tara left her over 'minor' issues that got blown out of proportion.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Xander refers to Spike as "[[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Captain Peroxide]]."
Line 120:
'''Buffy:''' (off-screen) I always wanted a pony. (everyone turns to look at her) Oh. You weren't really speaking to me, were you? My bad. }}
* [[Wall-Bang Her]]: Not that the wall's [[Destructo-Nookie|there for long]].
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Ashamed over her growing attraction to Spike, Buffy reverts to pre-"[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)/Recap/S5 E18 Intervention|Intervention]]" behaviour, [[Talk to Thethe Fist|punching Spike at will]] and deriding him as an evil disgusting thing unworthy of her love.
* [[You Owe Me]]: Averted; Warren thinks he can help Spike in exchange for help against the Slayer. Spike shoots down any idea of a deal before he's finished talking. As the Trio don't know about Spike's inhibitor chip, none of them have the cojones to protest.
* [[You Won't Feel a Thing]]: Spike about to eat someone. "This might hurt a little..."
