Continuity
- Dawn accidentally gets pizza sauce on one of Buffy's blouses in this episode, shrugging and saying, "She'll think it's blood." In "First Date", Anya scrubs at the stain and remarks that it may be pizza sauce rather than blood.
- The music Dawn is listening to while home alone is the same Buffy was listening to while washing dishes in season 5, before breaking down and crying over their mother's sickness.
- Holden mentions that some of Buffy's classmates thought she was some sort of religious fanatic, presumably because she frequently carried vampire-repelling crosses, and others thought she was involved with an older man, which she indeed was, the over two-centuries-old Angel.
- Holden also reveals that Scott Hope, whom Buffy briefly dated in season 3, told everyone at the time that she was gay. According to Holden, Scott said this about every girl he broke up with, and that a year ago (i.e. season 6 of the show) Scott himself came out. The actor who portrayed Scott, Fab Filippo, happened to be on the Showtime series Queer As Folk when Conversations with Dead People aired.
