* GenreSavvy: When David says, "Any minute, [a demon] could walk through that door," all three of them look towards the door, as if expecting it to happen.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: When Holland warns Lindsey that the Senior Partners are watching the situation closely, Lilah makes a point of mentioning how the last person to piss them off was made to eat his own liver. "I don't know why I thought of that just now."

* ShoutOut/[[spoiler:Foreshadowing]]: The title is a clear reference to ToLiveAndDieInLA. [[spoiler: Sure enough, it turns out that it isn't just a reference, instead being completely identical.]]

* [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks Throwing Your Scythe Always Works]]: Lindsey discovers it [[IncrediblyLamePun first-hand]].

* CatScare: David Nabbit in his [[DungeonsAndDragons D&D]] paraphernalia. Eek.

* ItGotWorse

** Angel responds with a cold stare when Cordelia suggests getting him a puppy. In ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' it's mentioned that Angelus once did something nasty to a puppy to celebrate St Valentine's Day.

* PsychicRadar: Vampire detectors.

In a dark alley, two police officers notice Detective Kate Lockley has shown up. The duo make light of her propensity for listening in on the police scanner for supernatural activity. Kate tells them to stay put, ignoring their offers for backup, "or a Ouija board." Hardy har. As she walks past a dumpster, Angel emerges with a homeless bag lady on his arm. She scurries off while Angel stops to chat with Kate. She demands to know what Angel killed, and he begrudgingly tells her it was a slime demon. Kate gets hostile, telling Angel that all she cares about is ridding the city of his kind. She hasn't forgotten that his "kind" who killed her father. Angel snaps, and tells Kate he's sorry about her father, but to stop blaming him for all the things she can't handle.

* AnArmAndALeg: Looks like Lindsey's the one who got "severed". [[spoiler:No biggie; in Season Two, the Senior Partners harvest him a new one from a dead employee]].

Meanwhile, the folks at Wolfram & Hart are conjuring up a demon (the Vocah) who has come to separate Angel from the PTB. Voach gripes, "You '''lost''' the scroll of Aberjian?" Holland explains that it was stolen, and Lilah adds that Angel hasn't had time to fully study it. Lindsey offers to get it back - it was his error. The Vocah angrily states that he will retrieve it himself. He asks who has it, and Holland says with a hint of embarrassment, "Angel." Vocah reiterates that he was summoned for "The Raising", and without the scroll, he can't perform The Raising. Lilah says that they're aware of the irony.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The female Oracle is nonchalant about her gruesome demise. "I've been dead awhile. So far [[{{Understatement}} I don't like it]]."

* MeaningfulEcho: Cordelia and Wesley spend the episode batting around reasons why Angel doesn't seem to want anything out of like. Following her mental breakdown, a deeply-shaken Angel stands at Cordy's bedside and pledges to save her -- that he "needs" Cordy to come back.

* DoubleEntendre: The Senior Partner's being pleased about Lindsey's 'sacrifice' is, on the surface, about him losing his hand for their cause, but it could also mean a blood sacrifice - a penance made to appease the Senior Partner's for losing the Shanshu Prophecy.

* ThisMeansWar: Angel to Kate in their last scene together.

* BigDamnHeroes: Angel (who else) announces his arrival at The Raising by tossing a pair of mooks though the mausoleum's glass doors.

* YouKilledMyFather: Played with during Kate's scenes with Angel. She holds him responsible not just for her father's murder, but for every nefarious act committed by demons in her city.
