Continuity
- Cordelia refers to the Buffy episode "Lovers Walk" when she was impaled by a piece of steel rebar.
- This episode marks Gunn's official, paid association with Angel Investigations, and introduces his signature weapon — a large axe fashioned for him by some of his street crew from a hub cap and an axle — which would remain with him until it is destroyed in season four.
- Lilah's response to Angel's remark about playing with someone else's brain ("Yeah, we have someone in mind') is a reference to the upcoming 3rd season episode 'That Vision Thing' wherein Wolfram & Hart do as much to Cordelia.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
