{{tropelist|page=The Killer in Me}}
* [[Call Back]]: Riley Finn leaves the decision-making re Spike to Buffy, as he did in "As You Were" when he'd been given permission to kill Spike for selling demon eggs but (realising Buffy was now in a relationship with Spike) refused to unless she agreed.
* [[Chained to a Bed]]: For once not done for robbery or kinky sex. Spike is chained to his bunk in the basement in case the First [[Manchurian Agent|activates him again]].
Line 38 ⟶ 40:
* [[Magic Kiss]]: Lampshaded by Kennedy when she says she has the whole magic thing figured out. "It's like fairy tales." She then kisses Willow a second time to reverse the spell.
* [[Meaningful Background Event]]: Spike passing out in pain as the Scoobies are distracted with Willow/Warren.
* [[The Mind Is thea Plaything of Thethe Body]]: Willow takes on Warren's personality the longer she stays in his body.
* [[Memetic Molester]]: [[Lampshaded]] [[In-Universe]]

Line 52 ⟶ 54:
* [[The Resenter]]
{{quote|'''Amy:''' This is not about hate. [[Arc Words|It's about power.]] Willow always had all the power, long before she even knew what to do with it. Just came so easy for her. The rest of us...we had to work twice as hard to be half as good. But no-one cares about how hard you work. They just care about cute, sweet Willow. They don't know how weak she is. She gave in to evil...stuff worse than I can even imagine. She almost destroyed the world! [[Easily Forgiven|And yet everyone keeps on loving her?]] So what's wrong with having a little fun, huh? Taking her down a peg or two?}}
* [[Series Continuity Error]]: The Initiative was supposed to have been closed down after the events of "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S4 /E21 Primeval|Primeval]]" and their [[Elaborate Underground Base]] [[Salt the Earth|filled with concrete]], yet bodies and even an experimental subject are still there. Likewise Spike tells of being drugged, but in "The Initiative" was able to escape because he didn't drink the doped blood he was given.
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Willow/Warren gives a loud squeal when she suddenly bumps into Kennedy.
{{quote|'''Kennedy:''' OK. Safe to say no one will ever accuse you of being too butch.}}
Line 69 ⟶ 71:
* [[Vision Quest]]
* [[Who You Gonna Call?]]: Spike points out that the Scoobies can't just hit the [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]] for information on behaviour modification technology.
{{quote|'''Buffy:''' No, it's not [[Buffy-Speak|a book thing. It's a phone thing.]]<br />
'''Spike:''' Who ya gonna call? ''(beat)'' God, that phrase is never going to be usable again, is it?<br />
'''Buffy:''' Doubt it. }}
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: Kennedy pretends to be sick so she can stay back and have some private time with Willow.
