Line 9:
* [[Call Back]]: Buffy's dream has Willow saying about her monkey in French "The hippo stole his pants" referring to the animal crackers conversation she had with Oz in "What's My Line", plus Willow trying to teach Buffy French in "School Hard". The fact that Buffy doesn't know about the Oz/Willow talk is a sign it isn't just an ordinary dream.
* [[Catapult Nightmare]]: Apparently averted, but it turns out to be a [[Dream Within a Dream]] and Buffy catapults awake after seeing Drusilla kill Angel.
* [[Caught in Thethe Rain]]: Angel and Buffy's escape through a rainstorm leads to them taking shelter in his apartment, with [["Glad to Be Alive" Sex|inevitable consequences]].
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: Angel wakes up next to a sleeping Buffy and runs out into the storm, [[I'm Having Soul Pains|screaming in pain]].
* [[Double Meaning]]: "Do you really think you're ready, Buffy?" has both a plot-meaning and a sexual meaning -- is Buffy ready to lose her virginity, and is she ready for the terrible consequences of that act?
Line 16:
* [[Evil Cripple]]: Spike is now confined to a wheelchair.
* [[Evil Hand]]: The Scoobies recover the Judge's hand. It immediately tries to strangle Buffy.
{{quote| '''Willow:''' W-What was that?<br />
'''Oz:''' [[Captain Obvious|It looked like an arm.]] }}
* [[Falling Chandelier of Doom]]: A modern version of this -- Angel drops the multiscreen TV on the Judge's head.
Line 27:
* [[Leitmotif]]: The Buffy/Angel love theme "Close Your Eyes" is heard for the first time.
* [[Love Confession]]
* [[Lured Intointo a Trap]]: Subverted. Miss Calendar is ordered to "take Buffy from Angel" (to ensure Angel continues to suffer), and shortly later lures Buffy away from the school on a flimsy pretense, then leaves her to fight vampires. It turns out she was right outside the building where her surprise birthday party was; the vampires were not part of the plan.
* [[Meaningful Echo]]: Joyce asking Buffy "Do you really think you're ready?" and dropping a plate tells Buffy that she really was [[Dreaming of Things to Come]].
** Before they make love Angel says to Buffy, "I love you. I try not to, but I can't stop." Years later when another vampire tells her something similar, Buffy responds by punching him in the face.
* [[The Mole]]: Jenny Calender was sent to Sunnydale to watch Angel.
* [[Pretentious Latin Motto]]
{{quote| '''Willow:''' Carpe diem! [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)/Recap/S1 E1/E01 Welcome to Thethe Hellmouth|You told me that once.]]<br />
'''Buffy:''' Fish of the day? <br />
'''Willow:''' Not carp -- carpe! }}
Line 42:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Angel losing his soul if he experiences perfect happiness is a reference to ''[[Faust]]''.
* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: Angel kisses Buffy to silence her anxiety about Drusilla.
{{quote| '''Buffy:''' I'm sorry, were we talking?}}
* [[Skyward Scream]]: Angel shouts Buffy's name, but as he's outside in the rain a sleeping Buffy can't hear him. Just as well...
* [[Slumber Party Ploy]]
{{quote| '''Giles:''' Round robin?<br />
'''Willow:''' It's when everybody calls everybody else's mom and tells them they're staying at everyone's house.<br />
'''Buffy:''' Thus freeing us up for [[Buffy-Speak|world saveage]]. }}
* [[Spider Sense]]: The Judge senses the presence of Angel and Buffy.
* [[Take Me Instead!]]: Buffy and Angel are caught by Spike and about to be killed by the Judge, Buffy first. Angel offers "Take me instead of her." Spike replies, "You're not clear on the concept, pal. There is no 'instead.' Just 'first' and 'second.'"
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Buffy's "I like you at bed time." For once this isn't [[Played for Laughs]]; instead Angel takes the [[Accidental Innuendo]] and runs with it.
** It is played for the usual humor though in this scene:
{{quote| '''Giles:''' ''(whispers so as not wake Buffy)'' Seems Buffy needed some rest.<br />
'''Angel:''' Yeah. She hasn't been sleeping well. Tossing and turning. ''(everyone looks at him)'' She told me! Because of her dreams? }}
* [[This Explains So Much]]:
{{quote| '''Xander:''' Yes, vampires are real, there are a lot of them in Sunnydale.<br />
'''Willow:''' I know this must come as a shock...<br />
'''Oz:''' Actually, it explains a ''lot''. }}
* [[Train Station Goodbye]]: Actually a tearful goodbye at the docks, but in the same spirit.
* [[Two Part Episode]]
* [[Woman in White]]: Buffy wears white throughout the episode, [[Rule of Symbolism|symbolising her virginal innocence]].
* [[With This Ring]]: Angel gives Buffy a claddagh ring for her birthday, explaining the different meanings in how you wear it, with obvious romantic overtones. The scene actually [[The Red Stapler|caused a boost in popularity for claddagh rings in real life]].
* [[You Don't Want to Die Aa Virgin, Do You?]]: More along the lines of -- we could die at any time, so let's take our relationship as far as it can go while we're both still alive.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Averted; when Dalton looses the Judge's arm Drusilla is going to [[Eye Scream|gouge out his eyes]], but Spike convinces her it makes more sense to give him the opportunity to correct his mistake. He succeeds, but Spike and Drusilla [[Kick the Dog|give Dalton to the Judge anyway]].
* [[You Leave Him Alone]]
{{quote| '''Angel:''' Leave her [Buffy] alone!<br />
'''Spike:''' Yeah, that'll work. Now say pretty please. }}
* [[You Look Familiar]]: Brian Thompson, who plays the Judge, was [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)/Recap/S1 E1/E01 Welcome to Thethe Hellmouth|Luke in the pilot]].
