"People don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream. What they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive."

A mad scientist student is trying to make a girl for his Frankenstein's Monster of a brother, a old boyfriend of Cordelia's

Tropes

All Guys Want Cheerleaders
Buffy-Speak: It can even be used for dating!

Buffy: You might wanna avoid words like 'amenable' and 'indecorous', y'know. Speak English, not whatever they speak in, um...
Giles: England?
Buffy: Yeah. You just say, 'Hey, I got a thing, you maybe have a thing, maybe we could 'have a thing'.

Came Back Wrong
Call Back: To the movie with Buffy catching a thrown knife.
Cough-Snark-Cough

Cordelia: Why are these terrible things always happening to me?
Xander: *cough* Karma! *cough*

Buffy: It takes more than that to get rid of me! (falls in open grave)

False Reassurance

Eric: You're gonna feel a little pinch, maybe some discomfort around the neck area. But don't worry. When you wake up, you'll have the body of a seventeen-year-old. In fact, you'll have the body of several.

Grave Robbing
Green-Eyed Monster: Buffy and Angel.
Holding Hands: Buffy and Angel at the end.
Hypocritical Humor: The girls watching the guys do all the hard work digging up a grave.

Buffy: Sorry, but I'm an old-fashioned gal. I was raised to believe that men dig up the corpses and the women have the babies.

Love Makes You Crazy and do wacky things like bring your brother back to life, or do the "sexy dance" with your best friend.
Mad Doctor
Mirror Scare
Mix-and-Match Man
Never Live It Down (In-Universe): Willow predicts this about Buffy's "sexy dance" with Xander in the previous episode
Nightmare Fetishist: Giles again.

Giles: Grave robbing? That's new. Interesting.
Buffy: I know you meant to say gross and disturbing.
Giles: Yes, yes, yes of course. Uh, terrible thing. Must, must put a stop to it. Damn it.

Operation: Jealousy: Buffy admits this was the reason for her "sexy dance" with Xander.
Porn Stash: The size of Eric's scares even Xander.
Rescue Romance: Spoofed when Xander blows his chance to score with Cordelia without even realising it.
Security Cling: Cordelia to Angel. Buffy is not pleased.
Screaming Woman: Cordelia of course.
Shout-Out: To Frankenstein
Star-Crossed Lovers: The appeal of forbidden love is lampshaded by Xander. Buffy and Angel of course put it into practice.
Strapped to An Operating Table: Cordelia
Surrogate Soliloquy / Emotionally Tongue-Tied: Giles rehearsing asking Ms. Calender out for a date.

Giles: W-w-w-what I'm proposing is, um... and I-I don't mean to appear indecorous, is, is, um, a, a-a-a social engagement, um, a, a, a, a-a date, if you're amenable. (to himself) You idiot!
Buffy: Boy, I guess we never realized how much you liked that chair.
