Continuity
- Buffy invites Angel into her house in this episode, an invitation she will later revoke in "Passion".
- Buffy mentions The Three in the Season Three episode "Faith, Hope & Trick" when describing past experiences with slaying to Faith.
- "The last time I saw you, it was kimonos": Kimonos are a type of garment from Japan. While Darla and Angel are never seen to have visited Japan together, the last time Angel saw Darla was in China, during The Boxer Rebellion. Kimonos are heavily influenced by traditional Han Chinese clothing, and so it is possible Angel mistook a Chinese silk robe for a kimono.
- Angel tells Buffy that he has not fed on another living human since his soul was restored, but this is contradicted by a flashback in Angel that showed in 1943 he sired a mortally-wounded engineer to save the whole human crew of a submarine. As the kid would have died anyway Angel may not have thought it a big deal to omit this case. About 1975, he fed on an unnamed gunshot victim in a café, though that person was already dead when Angel fed and he didn't sire him.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“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)
“Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
“Continuous eloquence wearies.... Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
