Trivia / Buffy the Vampire Slayer S4E21 "Primeval"

• Author's Saving Throw: Spike schemes to break up the Scoobies by exploiting the existing tensions between the group, and then planting evidence to lure Buffy into a trap as part of Adam's plan. However, after all is said and done, Adam points out that Spike gave Willow the evidence, and Willow won't be speaking to Buffy now. Spike quickly goes out to fix his scheme. Word of God confirms that the writers themselves didn't think of that either and didn't realize their error until it was time for the next episode to air, so they added in Spike and Adam's exchange rather than rewrite the entire previous episode.
• Completely Different Title:
  • French: Phase finale (Final phase)
  • German: Das letzte Gefecht (The last Stand)
  • Hungarian: Őserő (Ancient-Power)
• Deleted Scene: In this exchange cut due to length Willow and Tara discuss Willow's computer hacking skills:
  Willow: "I'm scaring you now, huh?"
  Tara: "A little. In a good way. It's like a different kind of magic."
• Wag the Director: The line "See what you get for taking French instead of Sumerian?" was changed from "See what you get for taking Spanish..." after Nicholas Brendon remembered established continuity.
