Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| '''Riley''': I've been up 48 hours straight tracking down something bad. Now it's come to Sunnydale.~~<br />~~ '''Buffy''': [[Bad Job, Worse Uniform\|My hat has a cow]]... }} Riley returns to enlist Buffy's aid in tracking down a demon black market dealer. * [[Battle Couple]]: Riley and [[Gender Blender Name\|Sam]] * [[The Bus Came Back]] * [[Blatant Lies]] {{quote\| '''Dawn:''' How's the soon-to-be newlyweds? Nervous?~~<br />~~ '''Anya''' and '''Xander:''' '''NO!''' }} * [[Boy Meets Girl\|Boy Loses Girl]] * [[Brick Joke]]: Riley [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S6 /E11 Gone\|loves Buffy's new haircut]]. Not so the burger smell. {{quote\| '''Buffy:''' You smelled the smell?}} * [[Bridezilla]] {{quote\| '''Anya:''' "Planning this marriage is like staging the invasion of Normandy."~~<br />~~ '''Xander:''' "Without the laughs. We should have eloped."~~<br />~~ '''Anya:''' "No. I've been through too much planning this wedding, and it is going to happen. It is going to be our perfect, perfect day if I have to kill every one of our guests and half this town to do it." }} * [[Buffy-Speak]]: Buffy's not exactly Gun Girl. * [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Averted; Buffy finally admits out loud that she's sleeping with Spike, and that admission helps her to end their self-destructive relationship. * [[Continuity Nod]] {{quote\| '''Sam:''' You got a safe house?~~<br />~~ '''Buffy:''' I have a house. I think it's safe. Sometimes you can't even leave. }} ** Spike makes a point of mentioning Riley being [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S4 /E14 Goodbye Iowa\|kept on drugs by the military]] and [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S5 /E10 Into the Woods\|using vampire prostitutes]] in Buffy's earshot. * [[Did You Die?]]: Buffy and Riley promise to swap stories if they get a chance and see whose were more exiting/dangerous/crazy etc. She asks if he died, and when he says he didn't, she says, "I'm going to win." * [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Both Riley and Sam in their interactions with Buffy. Line 34: * [[Geographic Flexibility]]: Sunnydale now has a dam. * [[Golden Moment]]: Though everyone but Buffy hugs Riley. {{quote\| '''Riley:''' You're up, you're down ... it doesn't change what you are. And you are a hell of a woman.}} * [[Homoerotic Subtext]] / [[Why Don't You Marry It?]] {{quote\| '''Anya:''' You know, if you love Riley Finn so much, maybe you should just marry him.~~<br />~~ '''Xander:''' He's taken. And that's not the point. }} * [[Humiliation Conga]]: Buffy's life is in a rut. Her old flame turns up and sees her wearing a silly hat. He turns out to be married. Then he catches her in bed with an evil bloodsucking fiend. Who turns out to be the black marketeer they're looking for. Line 42: * [[I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Buffy seems about to tell Riley that she tried to stop him leaving, but then changes it to say she just regrets things didn't work out between them. * [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] {{quote\| '''Buffy''': "We need to stop this thing before Sunnydale turns into the Trouble Meat Palace. ... I wish I'd said something different."}} * [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]]: Used as an excuse so Buffy can leave Sam to go and shag Spike. * [[Love Martyr]]: Buffy tells Spike she's just using him for her own selfish needs. Realising that Buffy is serious about breaking up, Spike hastens to say that he's really not complaining about that. Line 50: * [[Modesty Bedsheet]]: Justified for once -- Buffy is embarrassed when Riley bursts in on them, so she cowers behind the sheet while a smirking Spike doesn't hide his naked body. * [[Moment Killer]] {{quote\| '''Sam:''' Hey there. [[Suggestive Collision\|What exactly are you doing with my husband?]]}} * [[Mundane Solution]]: Buffy says the Suvolte demon is too fast to chase. [[Description Cut]] to them chasing after it in Riley's SUV. * [[Neck Snap]]: Buffy killing the Suvolte demon. Line 56: * [["No" Means "Yes"]]: Averted; Spike is initially amused by Buffy's break-up speech, knowing that she still desires him sexually. Buffy admits this, but sticks to her guns. * [[Oblivious Mockery]]: Sam asks Buffy if she's seeing someone. Buffy waffles on that she doesn't need a guy at this time. {{quote\| '''Sam:''' Yeah, better no guy than the wrong guy, that's for sure.}} * [[Poor Communication Kills\|Poor Communication Kills the Suvolte Demon]]: Riley fails to tell Buffy they need the demon alive. He also fails to mention he's married, but as Buffy (who on [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S5 /E10 Into the Woods\|their last encounter]] had been furious with him) was acting like the flirty, quirky girl he'd fallen in love with, his reluctance to drop that particular bombshell was understandable if not excusable. * [[Rule of Symbolism]]: At the end of the episode after dumping Spike, Buffy walks out of his crypt into the light. * [[Scars Are Forever]]: Riley now has a standard Awesome McCool scar across his left eye. Line 64: * [[Cool Guns/Shotguns\|Shotguns]]: Riley wields a USAS-12 shotgun. Though in a [[Fridge Logic]] moment he [[Doesn't Like Guns\|hands it to Buffy]] at the one time a full-auto shotgun would have come in useful. * [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: Buffy is upset that Riley has gotten married, so she [[Destructive Romance\|flees back to Spike's arms]]. {{quote\| '''Buffy:''' Tell me you love me.~~<br />~~ '''Spike:''' ''([[All Love Is Unrequited\|eyes widen]])'' I love you. You know I do.<br /> '''Buffy:''' Tell me you want me.<br /> Line 70: '''Buffy:''' Shut up. ''(pulls him down onto the bed)'' }} * [[Smug Snake]]: Spike can't resist gloating to Riley over how he's boffing Buffy. {{quote\| Well, looky here. I don't usually use the word delicious but I've gotta wager [[Interrupted Intimacy\|this little tableau]] must sting a bit, eh? Me and your former? Must kill. What can I say? [[All Girls Want Bad Boys\|Girl just needs a little monster in her man.]] }} * [[Stock Phrases]]: Riley says he's going to search Spike's crypt. {{quote\| '''Spike:''' Over my dead body.~~<br />~~ '''Riley:''' I've seen enough of your dead body for one night, thanks. }} * [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Buffy blows up Spike's crypt using Riley's grenade belt. * [[Talk to the Fist]]: Buffy every time Spike pisses her off. * [[Testosterone Poisoning]] {{quote\| '''Buffy:''' Glad to be back in Sunnydale. The locals all speak English, and I know who to [[Perp Sweating\|beat for information]]. It's all brought me here.<br /> '''Spike:''' Look, [[The Nicknamer\|Crew Cut]]. She's not your bint any more. And if I can speak frankly, she always had a little thing for me, even when she was shagging you.<br /> '''Riley:''' Nice. That's very distracting. Now tell me, before I get unprofessional... (pointing his gun at Spike) ...where are the eggs, Spike? }} * [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Sam -- from Peace Corp volunteer to [[Action Girl]]. * [[Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth]]: A vampire takes a raincheck on trying to eat the Slayer because she stinks of fried food. Next moment [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu\|a stake is hurled into his heart]]. * [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]]: Five hours of sex? Really? * [[Villain Ball]]: Spike not keeping the Suvolte eggs frozen. * [[Walk in Chime In]] {{quote\| '''Buffy:''' Oh, why can't I get this [[Ear Worm\|stupid jingle out of my head?]]<br /> '''Vampire:''' (leaping out in front of her) Least of your problems now, little girl. }} * [[Weirdness Censor]]: Rampaging demon = wild bear. * [[Writer on Board]]: Guns = Never useful. * [[You!]] {{quote\| '''Buffy:''' Doublemeat Palace, how can I help-- ''(realises the 'customer' is Riley)'' ...you!}} * [[You Talk Too Much]]: Spike lets loose his [[Master of the Mixed Message\|frustrations about Buffy]]. {{quote\| '''Riley:''' Can't you make him shut up?~~<br />~~ '''Buffy:''' Not so far. }} Line 98: {{reflist}} [[Category:Recap]] ~~[[Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]~~ [[Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap]] [[Category:{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]
