Arc Significance
- This episode introduces the Gorch brothers, Lyle and Tector, as minor villains. Tector is eaten, but Lyle returns in season three's "Homecoming".
- The physical relationship between Buffy and Angel is intensifying, foreshadowing the events of "Innocence".
- Despite the fact Angel told Buffy that it is impossible for vampires to have children, he eventually would father a son, Connor, with his sire, Darla, thus he and Darla would become the first vampires ever to conceive a progeny.
- Angel asks Buffy if she ever thinks about the future and she replies that in her future all she sees is him. Angel's guilt over his inability to provide Buffy with a normal life or a fulfilling future foreshadows forthcoming events in their relationship in season 3.

Famous quotes containing the words arc and/or significance:
“You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril.”
—Joan Of Arc (c.1412–1431)
“The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.”
—Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
