Trivia

This episode takes place exactly one year after Xander and Anya's attempted wedding in "Hell's Bells". Not suprising, since they are both the 16th episode of the season.

The pig that runs by Buffy and Robin Wood near the Seal of Danzalthar is presumably the same one that Andrew attempted to kill in the episode Never Leave Me.

The flashback Andrew has when he is twisting what happened with Evil Willow is obviously cut from the episode 'Two To Go', with Andrew's scenes different to make him sound braver, but Willow's scenes are cut straight from 'Two To Go.'

The talk Andrew had with Warren/The First about how he got the weapon and about all the weapons that demon had, and that Warren/The First asked him to show him and that Andrew said he didn't have them thinking he was asking for all the weapons he saw is the same as with when Jonathan/The First asked Andrew to show the gun and he thought he was talking about Buffy's underwear.

The way Robin and Fake Memory Andrew are possessed is similar to the way Gunn and Harmony were possessed in the Angel episode "Destiny". When they become possessed they say their true feelings and take them to the extreme.

Buffy jokes about dreaming about catching a bus naked. Robin asks "A bus to where?". In 'Chosen' they take a bus to get out of Sunnydale as it is destroyed.

The opening scene of Andrew sitting down on the crouch is reminiscent of Masterpiece Theatre, a program on PBS which broadcast award-winning British productions to American audiences.

We find out why the First wanted Andrew dead in 'Never Leave Me' when it had Spike try to kill him.

Back to the beginning references: "Hey, shy girl" - Out of Mind, Out of Sight (when Marcie Ross became invisible because nobody noticed she was around); "Killer prom dogs" - The Prom (in which Andrew's brother, Tucker, released hell hounds on the senior prom; "Everybody hates the cheerleaders" - The Witch (where the cheerleaders are targeted by spells because of a jealous wannabe cheerleader); "Swim team monsters" - Go Fish (when several of the swim team members shed their skin and become monsters).

In "Amends," the symbol made up of bones, stones, candles and other stuff that the Bringers are using in the cave underneath the dead X-mas trees, looks suspiciously like the symbol on the Seal of Danzalthar under Sunnydale High.

During the dream scene with Andrew and Jonathan in Mexico, it shows the Cheese Man from the Season 4 finale 'Restless' for a split second.

In Andrew's flashback he tells Warren/The First about a demon selling weird weapons, one of which is a "collapsible sword." In the Angel episode 'Spin The Bottle', Wesley buys and uses a "collapsible sword".

In the season 3 premiere 'Anne', Buffy says she wants "quiet in a room with a chair and a fireplace and a tea cozy", which fits Andrew's daydream quite well.

The "Grrr...Arg.." at the end of the episode is replaced with "We are gods..", what Andrew thought of when Warren told him they'd be gods.

When Andrew is taping himself in the basement with the picture of the high school and the hellmouth, "Play" can be seen in the top left corner, but it should read "Rec."

In Andrew's flashback to him talking to Warren/The First, you can clearly see Warren/The First leaning on the bed. But, The First is incorporeal, so he shouldn't be able to do this.

When Buffy slaps the 'shy girl' who is turning invisible, the camera is focused on Buffy, at the left side of the screen you can see the girl in the shot, non-invisible, and Buffy's hand stopping about two inches from her face.

When Andrew is taping Spike he clearly sees him through the viewfinder on the videocamera. Since videocameras (as do regular cameras) use mirrors to function, this clearly shouldn't be possible.

After the fight with the high schoolers and Buffy in the room containing the Seal of Danzalthar, the two kids that were previously there unconscious on the ground are gone. There is no real time when they could have left.

When Buffy and Wood are talking about what's happening in the school, they're standing at the front desk with at least one secretary within easy hearing distance. Great job keeping what they know low profile.

Amanda does have a mother (she said so in "Potential") so what kind of Mother would let her daughter at someone else's house on a school night and let Buffy tell Amanda not to go to school? There is no proof that Amanda told her Mother she's a potential.

The inscription on the dagger reads the blood which I spill I consecrate to the oldest evil.
