Buffy suspects her annoying roommate Kathy is a demon.

Ax Crazy: Willow is talking to Giles on the phone.

Giles, I-I just talked to Buffy and, yeah, I think she's feeling a little... insane. No, n-not bitchy crazy, more like homicidal maniac crazy. So I told her to come to you. Kay?

Bill, Bill, Junk, Bill: Buffy sorting through Giles' mail.

Boring... boring... bill... bill... What's with the motorbike and scooter magazine? You're not having one of those mid-life things, are you? 'Cause I'm still going 'ick' from the last time you tried to recapture your youth.

Blatant Lies

Kathy: (finding her book has gum underneath it) Ewww! Who left their gum here?
Buffy: Gum gnome?
Kathy: It wasn't me! It had to be somebody, Buffy!
Buffy: (Swallows the gum she had been chewing.) I don't know.

Cassandra Truth
Casual Kink: Xander realises Buffy has freed herself from the ropes.

Xander: Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self respecting bachelor?

Chekhov's Gunman: Buffy meets Parker ("The Harsh Light of Day"). Oz and Veruca notice each other in passing ("Wild at Heart").
Death Glare
Destination Defenestration: Well Buffy did prefer the window open.
Dramatic Unmask: "I knew it! I knew it!"
Everyone Hates Mimes

Buffy: ...so then Kathy's like, 'It's share time.' And I'm like, 'Oh yeah? Share this!' (She punches at the air)
Oz: So, either you hit her, or you did your wacky mime routine for her.
Buffy: Well, I didn't do either, actually. But she deserves it, don't you think?
Oz: Nobody deserves a mime, Buffy.

Evil Eyeshadow: Buffy takes on her Wishverse look as she starts losing her soul.
Eyedscreen
Foreshadowing: Parker chatting up Kathy.
Hypocritical Humor: Buffy talking about how easy going she is now Kathy is gone, only to Death Glare when Roommate!Willow starts eating her sandwich.
Inescapable Net: Buffy goes round to see Giles, only for a net to fall from the ceiling and trap her so the Scoobies can tie her up.
In the Hood
Jabba Table Manners: To annoy Kathy, Buffy scoffs down a carton of milk until it starts flowing down her chin.
The Last of These Is Not Like the Others: Buffy is describing her Nightmare Sequence.

Buffy: So then after the scorpion, the demon opened my mouth and sucked some kind of weird light out of me. A-and the worst part? I wake up and there's Kathy, staring at me like I'm some kind of freak.
Oz: Well, actually, the worst part, I'd have to go with the demon poring the blood down your throat.

Last-Second Word Swap: Willow does this thinking Buffy is about to blurt out to Kathy that she was attacked by a demon. It turns out Buffy has already come up with a mugger cover story (Willow's suggestion of a bear not being very plausible).
Life Energy: Or Soul Sucking, in this case.
Mixed Metaphor

Kathy: Just log every [phone] call you make in here and that way when the bill comes it won't be a problem. I figure, 'Stitch in time...'
Buffy: '...catches the worm.'

Monster Roommate: Literally.
Must Have Caffeine: Buffy's excuse for going Slaying in the middle of the night.
Not Herself
One Dialogue, Two Conversations: The exposition scene swaps between Giles talking to the Scoobies and Kathy fighting/expositioning with Buffy.
Passive Aggressive Combat
Percussive Therapy: Buffy breaks a park bench while venting about Kathy. Oz agrees the bench looked shifty.
Punctuated Pounding: Kathy is hitting Buffy across the face with the telephone handset.

(Whap) All you had to do was (Whap) write (Whap) down (Whap) your (Whap) calls!

Put Their Heads Together: Buffy does this to Xander and Oz.
Power Hair: Another sign Buffy's Not Herself.
Really 3000 Years Old: Kathy's demon dad turns up.

Taparrich: There you are. Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in, young lady?
Kathy: I'm 3000 years old! When are you going to stop treating me like I'm 900?

Scary Scorpions: In Buffy's dream.
Serious Business
Slow Motion Drop: Kathy cutting her toenails! Kathy getting tomato juice on Buffy's sweater!
Spell My Name with a "The": Xander describes Buffy as "The Buffinator".
Stock Quotes: Xander and Oz are tying Buffy up.

Xander: Buffy, this hurts me more than it hurts you.
Buffy: Not yet, but it will.
Xander: Don't say that. {{[[[Oh Crap]] realizing what she'd just said}}] Oh, PLEASE don't say that.

You Fight Like a Cow: Kathy vs. Buffy
