'''Willow:''' Over there in the lounge is where Spike and his gang nearly [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S2 E3 School Hard|massacred us all on Parent-Teacher Night]]. And up those stairs, I was [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S2 E19 I Only Have Eyes for You|sucked into a muddy grave!]] }}

* [[Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon]]: Kakistos' colorful plans for Faith.

'''Mr. Trick:''' Now I'm hungry. }}

* [[Damned By Faint Praise]]: Willow congratulates Buffy on her warm-up chat with Scott. ...then makes the mistake asking the Scoobies if they agree. "He didn't try to slit our throats or anything," quips Cordelia. "It's progress."

* [[Is That a Threat?]]: Careful, Buffy. Faith looks like she's aching to punch your suburban ass silly.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: According to Giles, Kakistos translates to "Worst of the Worst."

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Willow accidentally lets slip that she's been dabbling.

'''Willow''': ...does something I know nothing about. }}

* [[Tempting Fate]]: "I guess you need [[Gonna Need More Trope|a bigger stake]], Slayer!"

* [[There Are No Coincidences]]: There are two things Buffy doesn't believe in: coincidence, and leprechauns.

** ...Until Giles points out that it's [[Parodied Trope|entirely possible that Faith and Kakistos showed up simultaneously]].

'''Giles:''' [[Consolation Prize|As far as I know, yes]]. }}

* [[Vampire Invitation]]: Kakistos gets round this by driving the two Slayers into his own hide-out. The motel Faith lives in is of course exempt anyway.
