Added DiffLines:

* NearDeathClairvoyance: Faith's implied to have become at least somewhat prophetic in her coma, foretelling [[spoiler:the arrival of Dawn and Buffy's death]], though she can't interpret it (which she attributes to the head trauma), and it's unclear how much she remembers when she [[spoiler:wakes up next season.]]

None

Added DiffLines:

* PapaWolf: Evil or not, the Mayor does love Faith. He's deeply shaken when she goes missing before Graduation Day with signs of a struggle and actually halts his plans for the Ascension in order to find her, to his minions' displeasure. He rushes her to the hospital when she's found comatose and bleeding out, and flies into an ''extremely'' uncharacteristic rage and tries to smother Buffy to death with his bare hands when she shows up at the hospital with her own injuries.


Added DiffLines:

* TheUnblinking: The Mayor does not blink once during TheOner when he moves from Faith's bedside to Buffy's (where he attempts to smother the latter to death with his bare hands), emphasizing both his increasingly inhuman nature and his [[TranquilFury utter rage at what Buffy has done to Faith.]]

** This happens again in the hospital scene, before the Mayor finally [[SubvertedTrope gets wise]]. Even the camera pan between rooms is similar.

*** Hummus is made with beans, typically fava or garbanzo, which in Japan are thrown to repel demons, and garlic, which more supernatural creatures than just vampires hate—and of which the Mayor, as something of a "whitebread" stereotype, were likely no great fan, so ''maybe''…. (The sesame seeds might slow down a demon if, like some varieties of vampire, it felt compelled to count them—but only if they weren't all ground into the paste.)

* MustHaveLotsOfFreeTime: Cordelia lampshades Giles --a grown-ass janitor who always hangs around with them-- when she reasons that Weasel doesn't need to leave the country, what with Giles being unemployed and still following them around like a big loser.

** Harmony proves useless in the ensuing battle, getting vamped. Guess that the Mayor's "no eating" rule is a wash. [[spoiler:Harmony returns in Season Four. The circumstances of her siring is agreed by most to be a PlotHole, though some fics paint her as being vamped by a distance member of the Aurelian line.]]

* MissedHimByThatMuch: The episode opens with Buffy on the roof, in a state of shock from having just 'killed' Faith. After casting a look around, she disappears down a ladder on the side of the building. Back in the penthouse, the Mayor steps into the picture just as she leaves.
