Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S7/E04 Help: Difference between revisions

* [[Cut Himself Shaving]]: On seeing two familiar puncture wounds on a corpses' neck.

{{quote| '''Xander:''' Maybe she cut herself shaving and then died naturally of embarrassment.}}

* [[Face Palm]]: Buffy's reaction to a student who says he believes he's gay, and who wants to test that theory by asking Buffy on a date. She's still in the same position when dealing with Dawn.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Cassie tells Spike, "She'll tell you. Someday she'll tell you." {{spoiler|Buffy will finally tell Spike she loves him in the [[Grand Finale]] "Chosen".}}

* [[I Don't Want to Die]]: Played heartbreakingly straight.

{{quote| '''Cassie:''' Believe me, I want to...be here, do things. I want to graduate from high school, and I want to go to the stupid winter formal... I have this friend, and it would be fun to go with him. Just to dance and hear lame music to wear a silly dress and laugh and stuff. I'd like to go. There's a lot of stuff I'd like to do. I'd love to ice skate at Rockefeller Center. And I'd love to see my cousins grow up and see how they turn out 'cause they're really mean and I think they're gonna be fat. I'd love to backpack across the country or, I don't know, fall in love... but I won't. I just never will.}}

* [[Mandatory Line]]: Averted with no Giles, and a scene where Anya accidentally counsels a woman seeking vengeance was cut.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Cassie. As in, [[Cassandra Truth|CASSANDRA]]? (although Buffy takes little convincing to believe her).

* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]: {{spoiler|Cassie is depressed because she knows she's going to die, so the boys pick her for their [[Human Sacrifice]] because when she disappears everyone will assume she killed herself.}}

* [[Self -Harm]]: Buffy stops Spike from punching himself in the head in punishment for trying to rape her. Later Spike is fighting the boy who's trying to kill Cassie, but his chip is inflicting pain every time Spike hits him, so he keeps right on hitting.

* [[Technology Marches On]]: Xander assumes "Have you googled her yet?" is an [[Unusual Euphemism]].

* [[Tempting Fate]]: Buffy is ridiculing the boys lame-ass attempt to raise a demon...like the one that's just appeared behind her.
