{{quote|
'''Kennedy:''' OK, you know there's a better word for that, right? }}
* [[Gender Bender]]: Lampshaded in the scene where Willow (a lesbian in the body of a man) complains when Andrew (an [[Ambiguously Gay]] male with a [[Ho Yay]] attraction to Warren) keeps touching her/him.
Line 27 ⟶ 29:
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Last appearance of Amy, though she returns as a villain in the Season 8 comics.
* [[Layman's Terms]]
{{quote|
'''Amy:''' Oh, just your standard penance malediction is all.
'''Kennedy:''' OK, and that's magic crazy talk for what?
'''Amy:''' I put a hex on her. }}
* [[The Lost Lenore]] / [[Tear Jerker]]: The hex is triggered not by Willow's guilt over killing Warren, but her guilt over forgetting Tara in the moment she kissed Kennedy.

'''Kennedy:''' Kissing me didn't mean th--
'''Willow/Warren:''' No, she was never gone. She was with me. We should have been forever, and I-- (cries) I let her be dead. She's really dead. (breaks down into tears) And I killed her. }}
* [[Love Redeems]]

* [[Meaningful Background Event]]: Spike passing out in pain as the Scoobies are distracted with Willow/Warren.

* [[Memetic Molester]]: [[Lampshaded]] [[In-Universe]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: When Kennedy is teleported into Buffy's backyard she says to herself "That was a hell of a thing," a reference to ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'', mimicking Tony Shalhoub's understated attitude to being teleported for the first time.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Willow/Warren buying the gun.
Line 61 ⟶ 63:
* [[Spy From Weights and Measures]]: The phone number Buffy calls in an attempt to contact the Initiative turns out to be a flower shop. This is likely a tongue-in-cheek reference to ''[[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]'', whose New York Headquarters could be entered via Del Floria's tailor shop. It's later revealed that Agent Finn did in fact get the message.

'''Buffy:''' Doubt it. }}
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: Kennedy pretends to be sick so she can stay back and have some private time with Willow.
