Continuity
- Anya mentions Xander's "beady eyes", as she did when magically compelled to sing her true feelings in "Once More, with Feeling".
- Willow's outfit from the musical episode can also be seen on the door while she and Tara reconcile.
- Buffy jokes that technically Dawn is only one and a half years old, and thus much too young to go fighting demons, because she was created as a teenager at the beginning of season five.
- Xander and Anya's fight at the end of the episode mirrors some things that were said in Xander's false visions of his future in "Hell's Bells", including telling Anya that she disgusts him and yelling to "leave her (Buffy) out of it".
- Anya and Spike previously bonded over their problems in "Where the Wild Things Are".
- Halfrek notices Spike as his human self, William, however Spike doesn't seem to remember, Cecily, (Halfrek's human name) After being ridiculed by his peers and rejected by the love of his life, as Cecily declared him "beneath her," the same night Drusilla sired him.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“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)
“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)
“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)
