Andrew documents life for the Slayer and her friends. Meanwhile, Buffy needs to find out how to close the Seal of Danzalthar permanently before it turns Sunnydale High into a war zone.
 
This was the last appearance for both Jonathan and Warren.
Line 17:
* [[Brand X]]
* [[Breather Episode]]: The last comic episode in the series.
* [[Brick Joke]]: The pig from "Sleeper" and The Cheese man from "Restless".
** The anti-cheerleader graffiti.
* [[Buffy-Speak]]
Line 29:
* [[Catch the Conscience]]
* [[Circling Monologue]]: Buffy confronting Andrew in the basement.
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Andrew assumes Spike and Robin trading insults is a sign of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]].
* [[Continuity Porn]]: Thanks to the Seal, everything Buffy dealt with in Sunnydale High in the first few season starts happening at once - e.g, a girl [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S1 /E11 Out of Mind, Out of Sight|turning invisible because no-one notices her]]. Buffy also mentions the [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S2 /E20 Go Fish|swim team monsters]] and [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S3 /E20 The Prom|killer prom dogs]] to Robin.
* [[Conversation Cut]]
{{quote|'''Andrew:''' (talking to Buffy in the graveyard) But the story needs--
Line 40:
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Willow snuggles with Kennedy during Buffy's [[Rousing Speech]].
** Also "A bus to where?"
* [[Documentary Episode]]: Managed to make Andrew's pre-existing inclination to fantasizing plot-relevant and use it for hilarious deconstruction of the other regulars at the same time.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Andrew interviews Anya and Xander, and ends up acting like a marriage counsellor. Also the cereal commercial scene.
** Andrew's video resembles badly-written fanfiction, especially with the blatant shipping.
Line 48:
* [[Eye Scream]]
* [[Failed Attempt At Drama]]: They're out of raisin bran.
* [[Fake Video Camera View]]: Sometimes we see the red "REC" with the frame, when Andrew is recording something. Other times they show a green "PLAY" when he's reviewing video he shot earlier.
* [[Flashback Echo]]: Plenty -- subverted with Andrew remembering his confrontation with Dark!Willow.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Wood's attempt to kill Spike for "Lies My Parents Told Me".
* [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]]: Andrew brings his video camera into Buffy's living room to find Willow and Kennedy kissing on the couch. He comments that this is hot - and turns his camera to the window repair work recently done by Xander to which he was referring.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Andrew asks if Buffy would have spilled his blood if the tears didn't work. Buffy doesn't answer.
** Buffy tells Spike not to kill the possessed students. Spike just says, "They'll live" and continues beating them up.
* [[Hate Plague]]: Created by the Seal of Danzalthar.
Line 71:
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: Defied, but Andrew still thinks he deserves death at the end.
* [[Rousing Speech]]: Spoofed -- Andrew ducks out of the room when Buffy starts going into another soliloquy, noting that they can go on for some time. A few minutes later he looks to see if Buffy has finished -- she's still going on and even Willow is trying to hide a yawn.
* [[Self-Serving Memory]]: When Andrew tries to justify killing Jonathan, we see various flashbacks which differ wildly as he changes his version of events. This prompts Buffy to point out indignantly that he has just completely changed his story.
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Andrew happily ships Buffy/Spike, Willow/Kennedy, Anya/Xander, and Wood/Spike. Subverted in that Andrew completely misreads the last two pairings.
* [[Slow Motion]] / [[Light Is Good]] / [[Dramatic Wind]] / [[Hair Flip]]
Line 78:
* [[Special Edition Title]]
* [[The Storyteller]]
* [[Swiss Army Tears]]
* [[Tears of Remorse]]: After several attempts to justify the murder of Jonathan, Andrew breaks down crying as he realizes he killed his only true friend in cold blood.
* [[Sweeps Week Lesbian Kiss]]
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Buffy shh's Wood because the crazy students might hear him. Wood points out that they're all the way down the corridor, only for a student to step out from behind a locker and hit him in the face with a fire extinguisher.
