* RewatchBonus: Cordelia's career aptitude test said she should either be a personal shopper or a motivational speaker. The motivational speaker part was quite prophetic as she would go on to keep Angel motivated like no one else could.
** The third assassin is featured in this episode, very briefly, as one of many faces Buffy sees when she's walking through the school after finding out that a hit has been taken out on her. Plays very well into the ProperlyParanoid feeling.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Kendra being a second Slayer was a reasonably big twist at the time, when the "one girl in all the world" mythology was still central to the show. Given that her successor, Faith, plays a significant role in seasons 3, 4, 7 and in the spinoff ''Angel'', and is prominently featured in a lot of outside material for the show, it's less of a surprise for new watchers when an exceptionally strong teenage girl who seems pretty competent with a wooden stake turns out to be another Slayer rather than another assassin.
