Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S2/E15 Phases: Difference between revisions

* [[Armoured Closet Gay]]: Larry acts like a lecherous [[Jerk Jock]] to hide the fact that he's gay.

* [[Auto Erotica]]: Cordelia has this in mind, but Xander is too busy griping about [[Green-Eyed Monster|Willow taking up with Oz]].

* [[Bait and Switch Comment]]: Cordy the morning after she and Xander were attacked in their car by a werewolf.

'''Cordelia:''' ''(tears herself away)'' Daddy just had this car detailed. }}

* [[Break the Cutie]]: "Angel sends his love."

* [[Call Back]]: Oz mentions how a [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S1 E3 The Witch|cheerleader trophy's eyes appear to follow him around the room]].

* [[Cat Fight]]

'''Willow:''' (smiles) Really? Thanks. I've never gotten a 'meow' before. }}

* [[Caught in a Snare]]: Buffy gets caught in Cain's net trap.

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Xander uses his "hyena-sense" to work out who the werewolf is, and realises the answer is right in front of him. Oz looks alarmed as he's standing before Xander, who says...it's Larry!

* [[Delinquent]]: It appears not all of Buffy's bad reputation is from her Slayer activities.

'''Buffy:''' ''([[Death Glare]] at Willow)'' One... Two... Three... }}

* [[Distracted by the Sexy|Distracted By The Smoochies]]: Buffy and Giles are patrolling the local [[Make-Out Point]].

'''Giles:''' Oh, yes. No, of-of-of course not, no. }}

* [[Evil Poacher]] / [[Straw Misogynist]]: [[Meaningful Name|Cain]]

* [[Fridge Logic]]: Where exactly did Oz wake up the first two times, that didn't arouse his suspicions?

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]

'''Willow:''' I mean, [[Menstrual Menace|three days out of the month]] I'm not much fun to be around either. }}

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]

'''Willow:''' At last count? All of them, [[Lipstick Lesbian|maybe more]]. }}

* [[IKEA Weaponry]] / [[Tranquillizer Dart]]: The tranquilizer rifle.

* [[It's Probably Nothing]] / [[Terror At Make Out Point]]: Cordelia is clearly not [[Genre Savvy]]. Hearing strange noises while making out with your boyfriend in the woods -- it's obviously a monster!

* [[I Resemble That Remark]]

'''Xander:''''' (nods)'' Thank you. }}

* [[Lampshaded Double Entendre]]

'''Oz:''' That's great, Larry. You've really mastered the single entendre. }}

* [[Last-Second Word Swap]]: Cordy is clearly more 'experienced' than Xander.

* [[Master of the Mixed Message]]: Xander and Oz, according to their girlfriends.

* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Inverted, then played [[A Worldwide Punomenon|straight]], when Xander accuses [[Jerk Jock]] Larry of harboring a secret (he thinks he's a werewolf), and Larry comes out to him. Since Xander had tried to sympathize by saying he "had been there" (when he was possessed by a hyena), Larry then thought Xander was also gay.

** Even better, at this point Whedon still hadn't decided on whether to make Xander or Willow gay, and if he had picked Xander, this was going to be [[Foreshadowing]].

* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Guess who.

* [[Name of Cain]]: By killing werewolves Cain is also a killer of human beings.

* [[No Except Yes]]

'''Buffy:''' I didn't jump. I took a tiny step, and there conclusions were. }}

* [[The Not-Secret]]: After realising he's a werewolf, and that he'd been bitten earlier by his cousin Jordy, Oz gets on the phone.

* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: [[Quintessential British Gentleman|Giles is indignant]] when Cain assumes he's out in the woods with Buffy for some underage nookie.

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]

'''Buffy:''' He needs to get a pet. }}

* [[Oblivious Mockery]]: Cain tells Giles he looks like someone auditioning for the job of librarian.

* [[One Dialogue, Two Conversations]]: The morning after Buffy finds out Oz is a werewolf and Xander discovers Larry is gay.

'''Xander:''' No one... }}

* [[Profiling]]: Spoofed when Willow determines the most likely werewolf candidate is Buffy due to her history of violence.

* [[Rise From Your Grave]]: Theresa turns during her wake and rises out of her coffin not shortly after Buffy and Xander come to examine her body.

* [[Saying Too Much]]: Both [[Played for Laughs]] and [[Played for Drama]].

'''Willow:''' On account of [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S1 E6 The Pack|once you were a hyena?]]<br />

'''Xander:''' I know what it's like to crave the taste of freshly killed meat, to be taken over by those uncontrollable urges.<br />

* [[Scare Chord]]: "Why so jumpy, Larry?"

* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: Loads of this.

He-he said he was going through all these changes. Then he went through all these... changes. }}

* [[A Shared Suffering]]: Cordelia and Willow bond by griping about their boyfriends. Xander is [[Woman Scorned|justifiably nervous]].

* [[Staking the Loved One]]: Angelus turns a schoolmate of Buffy's, Theresa, into a vampire, knowing that [[Break the Cutie|she'll be forced to stake her]] when she goes to examine the corpse.

* [[Stating the Simple Solution]]

'''Buffy:''' ''(sotto voice)'' Here's a suggestion: move away from the Hellmouth. }}

* [[The Stoic]]: Oz upon realising he's a werewolf. "Huh!"

* [[Super Window Jump]]: The werewolf escaping from the Bronze.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Buffy notices Larry is acting strangely.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: First Xander, then Willow end up saving Buffy.

* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: Larry accepts his gayness and stops acting like a [[Jerkass]].
