Added DiffLines:

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Buffy formally severs ties with the Watchers Council. The schism will continue into Season Four and most of Season Five before circumstances force a (very uneasy) reconciliation.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers:
** Buffy goes on a rant about how meaningless the Graduation Day ceremony is, ending with the fact that maroon does nothing for her complexion. She tells Joyce how she wishes [[IJustWantToBeNormal she could be something different for her]], "a great athlete, a star pupil, [[TheTriple remotely normal...]]"
** "I can feel the changes begin. My organs are shifting, changing, making ready for the Ascension. Plus these babies are high in fiber."

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Angel feeding on a dead, or worse, alive Faith. Xander is scared for Buffy that this is what it has come down to.
** Arguably, Faith. Despite working with the Mayor, she's so far balked at some of the more evil aspects of what he's doing (when she thinks she's being asked to kill Willow in ''Doppelgangland'', and her general reaction to the Gavrok spiders in ''Choices''), and her two human kills have been an entirely accidental staking of the Deputy Mayor and ambushing the courier who brought the Box of Gavrok to the Mayor (who was presumably not exactly a White Hat). In this episode, she not only kills an entirely innocent man in cold blood, she actually seems to enjoy doing it.

* TheirFirstTime / MustNotDieAVirgin: At Willow's house, Willow and Oz look for spells that will help them fight the Mayor, but aren't having much luck. Oz cracks yet another joke. Wrong moment, buddy. Willow begins a tirade that ends with asking Oz to at least "pretend" to panic. Oz grabs both sides of her head and kisses her passionately. "What're you doing?" inquires Willow, already a little calmer.

Graduation robes are being passed out at school. Cordelia kvetches about the color of the gown, while Xander's convinced he's not getting out of this school alive. Willow and Harmony sign each other's yearbooks, and Harmony ''almost'' sincerely says she wishes they had gotten to know each other better. Buffy has not caught the spirit, however, and says she's leaning toward skipping graduation in order to fight the Mayor. Xander appears with news: I sure hope Buffy can multi-task, because the Mayor is their commencement speaker. The Ascension will take place at the graduation ceremony.
