People keep ... people have a tendency to go away ... and, I miss them. And sometimes ... I wish I could just make them stop. Going away. |
Dawn accidentally wishes to a vengeance demon that no one would be able to leave the house. With everyone trapped, they are attacked by a demon Buffy thought she defeated.
- A Date with Rosie Palms: Willow's present turns out to be a portable massager "for all your little ache-ys." Buffy makes the mistake of looking at Spike who smirks and raises his eyebrows suggestively -- an embarrassed Buffy quickly packs the massager away.
- Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny
Run off huh? Afraid to face a true warrior? (Buffy sees demon's sword) Ooh, shiny! |
- Buffy is distracted from Dawn's gift by Xander rolling out a handmade weapons chest.
- Be Careful What You Wish For
- Blatant Lies
Spike: I had a...muscle cramp. Buffy was uh, helping. |
- Bottle Episode
- Clem Scare: Buffy bumps into Clem while stalking the demon.
- Continuity Nod: To "Once More With Feeling"
Xander: Sometimes we do something that seems like a good idea at the time, like, say, invoke the power of a musical amulet? And it turns out, you know, not so much. |
- The slug-scented candles Buffy mentioned in "Life Serial" -- Anya still hasn't been able to sell them.
- Cough-Snark-Cough
Halfrek: Oh, [punishing men who wronged women] was just Anya's little raison d'etre. Most of us try to be a little more well-rounded. |
- Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?: Spike unexpectedly turns up at Buffy's birthday bash with Clem, clearly playing with the idea of fitting into Buffy's 'normal' world as a proper boyfriend would.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?
Anya: I think she's possessed. |
- Double Entendre: Spike works in plenty of suggestive comments to Buffy.
- Fluffy the Terrible: The Loose-Skinned Demon from "Life Serial" returns as 'Clement'. Just call him Clem.
- Game Face: "Wish granted."
- Gilligan Cut
Buffy: Just trust me -- I promise we'll be out of here soon. |
- Get-Out-Get-Out-GET OUT!
- Go Through Me: Tara re Anya trying to pressure Willow to make a spell.
- Hoist By Their Own Petard: The demon gets stabbed on its own sword. Halfrek gets trapped by her own spell.
- Hollywood Healing: Averted; Spike still has bruises from the beating he got from Buffy in the previous episode.
- Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: Spike suggests Buffy not celebrate her birthday, as bad things always seem to happen. Given that Buffy doesn't in Season 7, she's clearly taken this advice to heart.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: A non-alcoholic version where Tara grabs a cup of water off Buffy after her fumbled meeting with Willow.
- Insistent Terminology: They're justice demons, not vengeance demons. Oh, right.
- Interrupted Intimacy: Deliberately by Tara on Buffy/Spike.
- Jackass Genie: Halfrek has no trouble trapping her old friend Anya for eternity.
- The Last of These Is Not Like the Others: The weapons chest has slots for basic weapons, plus a few non-basic ones and a handsome CD holder.
- Limited Social Circle: Buffy invites Sophie, a friend from work, to her birthday party.
Buffy: What? Like I'm one of those losers who can't make friends outside her tight little circle? No. I'm friendly. We bonded instantly. Peas in a pod. Bonded peas. |
- Literary Allusion Title: The title is taken from J. G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun, where at the end of the story a young man comes to this realization about his current relationship with his family; the teacher's line about "things Jim lost during his years in Shanghai and things he gained" implies that Dawn's class is studying the book.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Dawn makes a wish to a stranger. Buffy brings home the demon's sword as a souvenir. Tara's 'release' spell only frees the demon from the sword.

- Only a Flesh Wound: ...but it doesn't kill her.

Xander: Don't worry, it's not a setup. |
