* CallBack: One of the demon girls from "[[Recap/AngelS01E13She She]]" works at Madam Dorion's.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Knox's speech to his fellow vampires about how the neighborhood has gone downhill.

** Gunn's gang is made up mostly of african-americans and latinos while Knox looks like a Skinhead and several of his gangs of vampires are also caucasians.

'''Angel:''' The name's [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Angelus]]. ''[stakes Knox]'' And I wasn't actually talking to you.

** "Look ma, no hands!"

** Madame Dorion's, the demon brothel in Bel Air. According to Wesley, "The Watchers Council is ''ripe'' with stories about it." I'll bet.

* IHaveYourWife: The vampire gang grabs Alonna knowing that Gunn's gang will come after them.

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The vampires throw smoke grenades into Gunn's hideout. He orders the others out into the daylight and prepares to fight, then realises no-one's attacking. As the others rush out into the open coughing and rubbing their eyes, GasMaskLongcoat vampires grab Allona and haul her into a van.
* AnAesop: Averted
-->'''Angel:''' "What am I gonna tell you, that you haven't already learned?"

* TheBait: Allona for Gunn's ambush, and later for the vampire's ambush.
* BarrierBustingBlow: Angel ducks under a roller door to get away from the Gunnmobile; he's stopped for a moment on the other side when the wooden spear mounted on the hood smashes through the door, barely missing him.

* {{Blackmail}}: The client is a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' fanatic who went a little to deep into character - specifically, the 'demon seductresses' part - and ended up being photographed at a demon brothel.
* BloodKnight: Gunn; until he's forced to stake his own sister.
-->'''Gunn:''' "You think I like this?"\\
'''Alonna:''' "No, I think you love it. And you won't quit until you get [[{{foreshadowing}} as close to death as you possibly can]]."

* CallBack: One of the demon girls from "She" works at Madam Dorion's.

* EvilFeelsGood: Vampire Allona's recruitment spiel to her brother.
-->"We were on the right track - just on the wrong team. All that rage and hatred we got? We get to keep all that, only on this side there is no guilt, no grief - just the hunt and the kill - and the fun! And come on, how often did we go out in the daylight anyway?"

* FeetFirstIntroduction / YouExclamation: Used for a BaitAndSwitch. We're meant to think the sword-wielding BadassLongcoat is Angel, but it turns out to be Gunn.
