Continuity
- Buffy tells Giles, "Ok, 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." This is a reference to "Teenage Giles" in Season Three's Band Candy.
- The sweater which Kathy borrows from Buffy is destroyed toward the end of the episode. However, in New Moon Rising, first Willow and then Tara are seen wearing the same sweater, and it is in fact a significant plot point in the episode, despite said sweater being destroyed at the beginning of the season.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
“Only the family, society’s smallest unit, can change and yet maintain enough continuity to rear children who will not be “strangers in a strange land,” who will be rooted firmly enough to grow and adapt.”
—Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
