Continuity
- Spike's storyline deliberately parallels Angel's storyline in the Season 1 premiere, City Of.
- Spike met the real Doyle when he visited Los Angeles to retrieve the Gem of Amarra, but never actually learned his name, allowing Lindsey's ruse to work.
- Lindsey dresses in clothes resembling Doyle's when posing as him.
- Spike simultaneously stakes two vampires with concealed stakes from his sleeves, reminiscent of Angel's tactic.
- Much like when Numero Cinco stopped being a hero, in Angel's dream world he becomes the new Wolfram and Hart mailman

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)
“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)
