* SuicideMission: Subverted. Buffy thinks that Giles going alone to get some vengeance on Angelus is going to get him killed, so she races to save him. However, Giles is actually holding his own quite admirably without her, only ending up on the backfoot when he accidentally leaves an opening for Angelus to counterattack (that, and Spike's support for Angelus is muted - and he refuses to let Dru help). Had he staked him instead of torturing him, Giles would have won the fight.

The showrunner also joked that the episode is a message to the actors: "Be very good, or I'll kill you."

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Angelus kills Jenny Calendar and leaves her in Giles' bedroom, complete with a trail of rose petals and champagne to make him believe he's in for a romantic rendezvous. However, it is not a straight example of this trope. Although the circumstances behind the way her body is discovered draw from it, she was actually killed because she was researching a magic spell that could stop Angelus' plans.
** Angelus also leaves Buffy a sketch he made of Joyce in her sleep, telling Buffy that he planned to stuff her into a fridge as well (she stopped this).

* DoNotGoGentle: Jenny might die, but she doesn't go out without a fight.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: As Spike correctly points out, Angelus's sadism was eventually going to piss Buffy off sooner or later. True enough, it's at the end of this episode that she and the rest of the Scoobies realize that he's not Angel anymore, and they (particularly Buffy) resolve to kill him to avenge Jenny.
