Series Continuity
- Despite being mentioned and heard many times through the series this is the first time that Xander's parents are actually shown.
- After Willow and Xander see each other in formal wear she jokes that it's a good thing she realized she was gay, referring to a previous occasion ("Homecoming") where she and Xander saw each other in formals and shared an illicit kiss.
- Xander's uncle Rory scares a woman at the wedding by informing her that a moose head on the wall is stuffed incorrectly. This is a reference to the Season 2 episode "The Dark Age" in which Xander mentions that Rory is a taxidermist.
- As seen in the closing credits, the names of Xander and Anya's children in the vision, are Josh and Sara. They are identified to be 10 and 8 in the first scene, and 21 and 18 in the second.
- Although Buffy and Willow express surprise that Xander's family believed the claim that Anya's demon friends are merely circus performers, Sunnydale residents, such as the Harrises, have a long history of ignoring or explaining away supernatural occurrences, as Willow's mother did after "Gingerbread". As recently as the preceding episode, Riley Finn and his wife convinced Sunnydale residents that a clearly visible demon, mere yards away from some of them, was actually a rogue bear.
