• California Doubling: Obviously the flashbacks to London, China, New York and South America were shot in California.

• Deleted Scene:
  • More content from the party attenders discussion:
    Male Partygoer: …I've heard on good authority they're not human at all. Animals of some sort. Escaped from a traveling sideshow.
    Female Partygoer: But wild animals would leave a trace of some kind. Tracks...
    2nd Male Partygoer: Mangled bodies…
    Female Partygoer: Charles! Don't be ghastly.
  • The Scoobies talk while patrolling with Riley:
    Willow: Wow. So they really work for you?
    Xander:"Well technically, they work for the construction company. But they are my crew. I tell them what to do, and they very often do it.
    Anya: Except sometimes they do it wrong and he gets to be all stern, but fair. It's so damn cute.
  • Spike talks while battling Xin Rong:
    Spike: Just like I pictured. This good for you?
  • Spike and Drusilla discuss more about Buffy:
    Drusilla: …and you couldn't ever do it. She brought blackness upon us.
    Spike: So, Sunnyhell was not our finest hour. And yes, I made a deal with the Slayer. But you were shagging Angel and bringing about an Apocalypse to end all life as we know it. So? Every couple's got their ups and downs, Love. Point being, we got through all that, it's behind us now. Isn't it?
    Drusilla: I hate it here. Furry little animals peering at us from out of the trees, and the people all taste funny.
    Spike: Right. We'll pick up and move again, and we'll keep moving 'til we've found the perfect spot, and there I'll make you my queen. Just tell me what you want.
    Drusilla: I want the Slayer dead, Spike.
    Spike: You're the one who keeps bringing her up! I haven't said a word about the bloody Slayer since we left California! She's on the other side of the planet, Dru! Gone from our lives forever!
• Fake Brit: Besides James Marsters and Kali Rocha, all the British partygoers in the first flashback are played by American actors.
• Shrug of God: Drusilla is shown siring Spike, contradicting "School Hard" where he says Angel was his sire. Joss Whedon later said a sire could refer to anyone in the vampire's lineage - since Angel turned Drusilla.
• Word of Saint Paul: Kali Rocha believes Cecily was already Halfrek as a vengeance demon, and that she was at the party on assignment. The non-canonical comic Old Times follows this theory as well - and reveals she slaughtered the entire party afterwards for laughing at William's poem.
• Working Title: Love's Bitch.
• You Look Familiar:
  • Kali Rocha (Cecily) would reappear in the next season as Halfrek the vengeance demon. This was retconned as Cecily and Halfrek being the same person.
  • The actress playing Xin Rong, Ming Lu, plays one of the Potentials in "Chosen". Reincarnation?
