* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]]: Professor Worth.

* [[Breaking the Bonds]]: Faith manages to snap her handcuffs in two.

* [[Call Back]]: Percy thanking Willow for not [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)/Recap/S3 E16 Doppelgangland|kicking his ass again]]. Willow is about to confess it wasn't her, but then approvingly tells him it was for his own good.

'''Buffy:''' [[Captain Obvious|What page are you on]], Wes? '[[Failed Attempt At Drama|Cause we already got there]]. }}

** Willow tracks down Faith's apartment by hacking into the city's municipal funds.

{{quote| '''Angel:''' Are you mad at me for being around too much or for not being around enough? <br />

'''Buffy:''' Duh! Yes! }}

{{quote| '''Wesley:''' You can't turn your back on the Council. <br />

'''Buffy:''' They're in England. I don't think they can tell which way my back is facing. }}

* [[Never Found the Body]]: Faith turns up alive (but comatose) in the following episode.

* [[No Escape but Down]]

* [[Perfect Poison]] / [[Trick Arrow]]: [[Waxing Lyrical|Shoot that poison arrow...]] ♪

* [[Pink Means Feminine]] / [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Faith's flowery dress. Wilkins, getting misty-eyed, says Faith is a "vision," but she flaps the hem of the dress and grouses that she feels "[[Real Women Never Wear Dresses|wicked stupid]]."

** Faith recognizing Buffy's knife as her own. Buffy: "You're about to get it back."

{{quote| '''Lester:''' Put that away! I'll scream!<br />

'''Faith:''' Who wouldn't? }}

* [[Prisoner of Zenda Exit]]: Mortally wounded, Faith delivers one last "Fuck You" to Buffy by leaping off her balcony -- but not before timing it so she lands on the bed of a passing pickup, letting herself be carried out of reach.

* [[Psycho Strings]]

** Buffy's had just about enough crap from the Watcher's Council, thank you.

* [[Ravens and Crows]]: Wilkins orders that Snyder to make sure all the seniors come to the ceremony, then thanks him for keeping the school in order. "Sunnydale owes you a debt. It will be repaid. Yessir, we'll mark that invoice paid in full." Snyder looks less than reassured as [[Empathic Environment|ravens caw overhead]].

* [[Security Cling]]: Inverted; Oz edges Willow behind him in the Mayor's presence. (He remembers [[Continuity Nod|her kidnapping]] in "Choices")

* [[Selective Obliviousness]]: Buffy wants to skip graduation in order to fight the Mayor, and Xander wanders into the conversation. He surmises that the girls haven't heard who their commencement speaker will be. Willow hopefully proposes [[Stage Magician|Siegfried, Roy, and one of the tigers]] until Xander snaps at her to "Come out of the fantasy, Will."

* [[To Be Continued]] / [[Two Part Episode]]

* [[Too Much Information]]: As Anya is recounting an Ascension she witnessed 800 years ago, she merrily gets sidetracked. Again.

** Wilkins heartily giving a thumbs-up to his henchvamp after devouring his Gavrok meal, adding that they're high in fiber. "And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, [[Amirite]]?" Henchvamp just stands there, not especially concerned with regularity.
