* [[Noodle Incident]] / [[Spot the Imposter]]: Willow-in-Warren's-body convinces Xander that she's Willow by mentioning that there are ''other'' kindergarten stories where he doesn't look very heroic, such as the one about Aquaman underoos.

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 (TV)/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.

* [[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 (Film)|Galaxy Quest]]'', mimicking Tony Shalhoub's understated attitude to being teleported for the first time.

* [[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 UNCLE]]'', 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.
