Amy dealing with her mom's villainy is tougher to watch after Amy's own FaceHeelTurn in season 6.six.
** Xander asks Willow to kindly stop beating a dead horse: "Will, yeah, that is the point. You don't have to drive it through my head like a railroad spike." Much later, we find out that this was Spike's preferred method of torture.

* Acting for Two: Amy and her mother, thanks to the body switch. Their actors each have to play both roles.
* Actor Allusion:
** A retroactive example. When they test Amy with the potion, Buffy says "she's our Sabrina". Robin Riker, who played Catherine guest starred on Sabrina the Teenage Witch as Sabrina's cousin Marigold, also a mother to an unruly young witch. In more of a straight example, some sources claim Sarah Michelle Gellar was an early choice to play Sabrina.
