'''Spike:''' I don't think so. Wouldn't be nearly as interesting now, would it? }}
* [[Anvilicious]]: The unsubtle drugs = magic metaphor has caused fans to rank this with "Beer Bad" as one of the least-favoured episodes.
Line 15:
* [[Black Eyes of Evil]]: High!Willow
* [[Buffy-Speak]]
{{quote|
* [[Casual Kink]]: Buffy throws a candle onto Spike's chest (rather than wake him up by touching him). Spike quips, "Someone should teach you how to use candles in foreplay, luv."
** Spike and Buffy's bruises, scratches and [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] comments hint that things got quite depraved last night, and Buffy is implied to have enjoyed it -- at least while it was happening.
{{quote|
'''Spike:''' (scoffs) No, it's your calling. Gave me a run for my money, Slayer. }}
* [[Ceiling Cling]]: Willow high on [[Black Magic]].
Line 24:
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Rack will return in "Villains" and "Two to Go".
* [[Continuity Nod]]: To Faith's famous comment about [[Interplay of Sex and Violence|killing making her "hungry and horny"]].

* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: Dawn makes peanut-butter-and-banana quesadillas, which she quickly dumps in the rubbish bin when Willow offers to buy dinner.
{{quote|
* [[Conveniently-Timed Attack From Behind]]: The demon is about to kill Dawn when Buffy turns up. It turns out to be much stronger than Buffy's used to however, but then Willow appears behind it, whereupon the demon suddenly shudders and burns up from the inside.
* [[Curse Cut Short]] / [[Open Mouth, Insert Foot]]
{{quote|
'''Buffy''' [pulling away from him] What? That's what this was about? "Doing" a slayer? }}

{{quote|
'''Spike:''' Again? Ever think about a Lojack for the girl? }}
* [[Did the Earth Move For You, Too?]]
{{quote|
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Rack's interaction with Willow resembles a drug dealer [[Tastes Like Strawberries|taking advantage of a girl sexually]].
* [[Double Aesop]]: Willow talking about the [[Black Magic]] ("It took me away from myself. I was free. I did things that I can't even--") strikes a chord with Buffy re her wild tryst with Spike.
{{quote|
* [[Double Meaning]]: Buffy tells Spike to get the hell out of her life. He retorts, "Too late. You invited me in already." -- referring to the [[Vampire Invitation]] she gave him last year, but also to how he's a necessary part of the Scooby Gang, not to mention how last night's debauchery gave Spike an insight into just how much Buffy craves the release he gives her. The episode ends on Buffy in her bedroom, nervously clutching a cross, garlic hanging on all the windows. But Spike doesn't need his [[Vampire Invitation]] any more -- from now on Buffy will come to him.
* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: Spike certainly takes this view, with all the abuse he's taken off Buffy.

{{quote|
'''Spike:''' ''(smiling happily)'' Yeah. Me, too. }}
* [[Invisibility Cloak]]: Rack's place.
* [[Fantastic Aesop]]: [["Previously On..."]] ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Willow's abuse of magic was about either using powers when they weren't necessary, using them recklessly, or using them to tamper with her friends without their consent. Now [[Fantastic Drug|magic use is akin to drug addiction]].
* [[Foreshadowing]]: For Dark!Willow -- [[Black Eyes of Evil]], [[Villain Teleportation]], and killing in nasty ways.
* [[History Repeats]]: In "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer
* [[Interplay of Sex and Violence]]: Given that Buffy didn't know she was going to end up in Spike's arms, does she normally go out slaying in skimpy panties?
* [[Laughing Mad]]: Willow high as a kite while 'driving' the car with magic.
Line 63:
* [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore]]: Spike points out that their [[Relationship Upgrade]] (and the fact that his chip doesn't work with Buffy) has altered the power dynamic between them. Buffy's refusal to accept this is a major cause of the [[Destructive Romance]] to follow.
