• Hostility on the Set: According to costume designer Cynthia Bergstrom, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Joss Whedon disagreed over the Buffybot's costume. On the day of filming, Whedon took out his frustration on Bergstrom:
  Sarah was adamant about it being a certain way. The costume she wanted was a bit grandma-ish — a pleated skirt and high neck. He definitely wanted it to be sexier. I was like, "Joss, let's just get her dressed". He grabbed my arm and dug in his fingers until his fingernails imprinted the skin and I said, "You're hurting me".
• Making Use of the Twin: Nicholas Brendon was very sick during production so his twin brother, Kelly Donovan, stepped in to play Xander during the fight scenes.
