* SuperWindowJump: Wesley and Faith are talking via phone handsets on either side of a visiting room window. Faith isn't really interested in helping out with a potential apocalpyse, [[WildCard thinking she'll be even more dangerous in that situation]]. Wesley just tells her that Angelus is back. Faith smashes through the window, grabs Wesley as a 'hostage' and jumps out another window several stories up with them both landing on a CarCushion. It is generally agreed among fans that this scene is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

Added DiffLines:

* GodzillaThreshold: Faith considers ''herself'' the Godzilla in this situation. She initially refuses to get involved in the fight against the apocalypse because of her WildCard tendencies. That is, until she hears that Angelus has returned.

* HoldYourHippogriffs: Connor says he doesn't give a flying ''sluk'' what Wesley thinks, in his first (and only) example of Quortothian slang. [[ContinuityNod Sluks were the creatures that infested the hotel]] [[Recap/AngelS03E19ThePrice when Connor escaped Quortoth]] and it [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar conveniently rhymes with the Earth version of the saying]].

* ContinuityNod: An inmate tries to kill Faith with a Bringer knife, as a result of an [[NothingPersonal outside contract]] presumably organised by an agent of the First, the BigBad of Season 7 ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' who seeks to destroy the Slayer line. The actress playing that inmate [[YouLookFamiliar also played a human assassin]] in BTVS "What's My Line?" though it's unclear if they're meant to be the same person.
** Also Wesley using Faith's CatchPhrase "Five by Five" and introducing her as "Faith, the Vampire Slayer" -- Faith is (technically) the 'true' Slayer, taking on the role after Kendra's death (who succeeded Series/{{Buffy|the Vampire Slayer}} after she died and was then resuscitated in the Season One finale.)
