* UncertainDoom: Dr. Sparrow after Spike finishes "persuading" him to talk. Sparrow was already seriously injured by Spike's torture and he's now in the hands of people who would ''love'' to make him suffer for his role in Fred's death (especially with Wesley already having dispatched Knox). But we never learn what becomes of Sparrow.

* BetrayalByInaction: After forcing the truth out of Gunn, Wesley admits he ''can'' forgive Charles for not wanting to go back to who he used to be. After all, Wesley knows this struggle all too well thanks to his own character development since ''Buffy'' Season Three. However, Gunn knowing what was happening to Fred, saying nothing, and letting her die to protect his secret? That is ''not'' so forgivable and it earns Gunn a scalpel in the gut.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: When a tearful Gunn confesses he didn't want to go back to being the Muscle, Wes understands all too well where Gunn's coming from thanks his own character development since ''Buffy'' Season Three. As Wesley acknowledges, he knows what it's like to not want to go back to the kind of person you used to be. He ''can'' forgive Gunn for that. Gunn knowing that he was responsible for Fred's dying and keeping shtum, however, is ''another'' matter -- and one ''not'' so forgivable...

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: As was previously established during "Damage", the Scoobies have cut all ties with Angel and his team for their decision to join Wolfram and Hart. Despite Angel's pleas to Giles, their stance will not change and thus the Fang Gang will get no help from Willow in trying to restore Fred's soul. It's ultimately a moot point, though, since Fred's soul was destroyed rather than simply displaced like Angel's on previous occasions.
