 I may be dirt...but you're the one who likes to roll in it, Slayer.

Buffy feels guilty over her night of passion with Spike. Amy gets Willow hooked on black magic with disastrous results.

 Buffy: Get a grip, Spike. Like you're God's gift.

Spike: I don't think so. Wouldn't be nearly as interesting now, would it?

 Xander: Not judgey, Buff. Just, observey.

  • 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.

 Buffy: That might be how you get off, but it's not my style.

Spike: (scoffs) No, it's your calling. Gave me a run for my money, Slayer.

 Dawn: I'll leave a note for Buffy on the refrigerator. That's the first place she goes after patrolling. She's such a pig after she kills things.

    • Buffy accuses Spike of dragging out the search for Dawn so he can spend time with her, a reference to "Crush" where Spike invited Buffy on a date in the guise of a vampire hunt.
  • Cordon Bleugh Chef: Dawn makes peanut-butter-and-banana quesadillas, which she quickly dumps in the rubbish bin when Willow offers to buy dinner.

 Dawn: Thank god! Remind me never to invent that again. Yecch.

 Spike: I knew the only thing better than killing a Slayer would be f--

Buffy [pulling away from him] What? That's what this was about? "Doing" a slayer?

 Buffy: Get dressed. Dawn's missing.

Spike: Again? Ever think about a Lojack for the girl?

 Buffy: When did the house fall down?

 Buffy: I think it's right. To give it up. (pensive) No matter how good it feels.

  • 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.

 So, what now? You go back to treating me like dirt till the next time you get an itch you can't scratch? Well, forget it. Last night changed things. I'm done being your whipping boy.

 Spike: I'm just saying, vampires get you hot.

Buffy: "A" vampire got me hot. One. But he's gone. You're just... You're just convenient.

 Willow: If you could be plain old Willow -- or Super Willow? Who would you want to be?

 Buffy: Last night was the most perverse, degrading experience of my life.

Spike: (smiling happily) Yeah. Me, too.

 Amy: It's not what you think it is -- it's sage!

Buffy: That is what I think it is.

    • Tara is shocked to see Willow come home from an all-nighter with a strange woman, until Willow hastily explains she's with Amy the Ex-Rat.
  • Oblivious Guilt Slinging: Dawn notes that Buffy is "all beat from monster-wrestling all night."
  • One Dialogue, Two Conversations: Xander and Anya get confused when Buffy goes off on a monologue defending Willow's actions, not realising she's trying to justify her recent behaviour with Spike.
  • Panty Thief: Buffy is trying to get dressed and get out as quickly as possible when a smirking Spike reveals he's still got her panties. Buffy gives him a sock on the jaw and storms off.
  • Power At a Price: Willow accidentally summons a demon during her foray into the black arts.
  • Rule of Symbolism: Willow floating in space while spaced out.
  • Sarcasm Mode: Buffy rousts Naked!Spike out of bed to go search for Dawn, turning her back as he's getting dressed despite having spent the previous night shagging him senseless. Spike retorts, "Oh, that's right -- hide your blushing eyes!"
  • Saying Too Much: Amy raves about what she and Willow got up to during their magic binge. Having been told by Dawn that Willow was cutting back on her magic use, Tara storms out.
  • Secret Relationship: Buffy threatens to kill Spike if he tells anyone they had sex, and it's clear she's not being metaphorical.
  • Scenery Censor / Right Through His Pants
  • Slap Slap Kiss: Buffy and Spike's morning-after behaviour.
  • Spontaneous Demon Combustion
  • Tastes Like Strawberries: Rack uses this exact line re Willow. It's not clear whether he accepts sex in payment or something on a mental / magical level, but Willow is shown taking a Shower of Angst the following morning.
  • Tempting Fate: Willow gleefully shouts back at the demon pursuing them; "Take that, scuz-- (car crashes into a concrete pillar)
  • Terms of Endangerment: Buffy snaps at Spike when he calls her "luv".

 Spike: You didn't seem to take issue with that last night. (smirking) Or with any of the other little nasties we whispered.

 Dawn: It's like a meat party in my mouth. (pause) Okay, I'm just a kid and even I know that sounded wrong.
