- There were multiple references in this episode to Hemery High, the setting of the 1992 movie.

- Angel made Drusilla a vampire the day before she was to take her holy orders as a nun, after driving her insane by killing her friends and family.

Goofs:
- When Angel visits Buffy to reveal what he knows about Billy Fordham, after entering the kitchen, he leaves the door open a few inches and then stands at the counter opposite Buffy. In the next shot, Buffy and Angel walk out of the kitchen and the door is closed completely.
Best quotes:
- Buffy: Lie to me.
Giles: Yes. It's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies and... everybody lives happily ever after.
Buffy: Liar.
- Giles: I believe that's called growing up.
Buffy: I'd like to stop then, okay?
- Angel: Do you love me?
Buffy: What?
Angel: Do you?
Buffy: I love you. I don't know if I trust you.
- Cordelia Chase: I just don't see why everyone's always picking on Marie-Antoinette. I can so relate to her. She worked really hard to look that good, and people just don't appreciate that kind of effort. And I know the peasants were all depressed...
Xander Harris: I think you mean *Oppressed*.
Cordelia Chase: Whatever. They were cranky. So they're like, 'Let's lose some heads.' Uh. That's fair. And Marie-Antoinette cared about them. She was gonna let them have cake.
- Xander Harris: Hey, it's me. If Angel's doin' something wrong, I wanna know, 'cause it gives me a happy.
- Angel: You know, I never used to. Things used to be pretty simple. A hundred years, just hanging out, feelin' guilty... I really honed my brooding skills. Then she comes along. Yeah, I get jealous. But I know people. And my gut tells me this is a wrong guy.
- Xander Harris: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with deadboy on this one.
Angel: Could you not call me that?
- Xander: "'This is Ford, my bestest friend of all my friends!' Jeez, doesn't she know any fat guys?"
- Xander: "Angel was in your bedroom?
Willow: "Ours is a forbidden love."
References:
- "She was gonna let them have cake!" Cordelia's little speech in history class gives her eloquently skewed view of the French Revolution, a violent uprising in France that began in 1789 in which the lower- and middle-classes in France demanded equal rights from King Louis XVI and the land-owning aristocracy. Rather than make any concessions that could have saved the monarchy and appeased the French people, King Louis' Austrian-born queen, Marie-Antoinette, convinced her weak-willed husband to hold out and seek aid from foreign governments. When Austria and Prussia declared war on France in 1792, she passed secrets to those armies, hoping that they would defeat the "rabble" that had essentially deposed her and her husband. The Revolutionary government tried and convicted the royal family of treason, and both King Louis and Marie-Antoinette were executed at the guillotine in 1793. Her famous quote, "Let them eat cake,"was not, as Cordelia believes, a generous gesture, but rather her response to the peasants' complaints of bread shortages: cake was a cheaper and much less nourishing food item than bread, and so her statement becomes dismissive rather than magnanimous.
- "I Touch Myself" was an enormous international hit for the Australian band the DiVinyls in 1991. (For the record, that supports her statement that Ford was her fifth grade crush, for if Buffy is in 11th grade in 1997, she would have been in fifth grade in 1991.)
- In the club at the end of Act 2, the movie playing on the TV is the 1973 TV movie Dracula, directed by Dark Shadows creator Dan Curtis and starring Jack Palance. Ford lip-synchs to Palance's uniquely breathy delivery of the line: "So, you play your wits against mine. Me, who commanded armies hundreds of years before you were born."
Soundtrack:
