* NeverLiveItDown: Buffy really can't live down her treatment of Spike - specifically the moment where he tells her to go and she's implied to perform oral sex on him (which gets PlayedForLaughs). While she does get off easy by the narrative due to the double standard, Buffy herself angsts about it more than once. She breaks up with Spike in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E15AsYouWere As You Were]]", acknowledging that she's been mistreating him, and in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E7ConversationsWithDeadPeople Conversations with Dead People]]", she outright says she's done horrible things to him.

* DesignatedHero: Buffy, temporarily turned invisible, psychologically torments Dawn's social worker for no other reason than that the social worker doing her job would have negative consequences for Buffy. And as mentioned below, the social worker has entirely legitimate reasons for wanting to take Dawn away.

The only thing that makes the social worker less sympathetic is the tone in which she notes that Buffy lives with another woman.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Xander really naive enough not to see through Spike's flimsy excuse about what he's doing on the bed, even though Buffy made noise and Xander knows she's invisible, or is he in denial?

* MoralMyopia: Buffy's behaviour towards Spike in this episode being PlayedForLaughs is often cited by modern fans to be a pretty egregious example of DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale. On paper, what Buffy does is really disturbingly similar (and in some ways ''worse'') to what Spike will do to her in "Seeing Red"; she breaks into his home unannounced, violently restrains him and rips his clothing off. Later, she ignores him retracting his consent to preform oral sex on him, culminating in him getting fed up and throwing her out of his crypt--which makes it clear that he was serious and sincerely ''did not want to have sex'', making the fact that she disregarded his complaints and continued forcing sex upon him all the more uncomfortable.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Buffy's invisibility could have made for a deeper exploration of her sense of self as a young adult and resurrected being, but it's instead it's the focus of a comedy episode.

** The social worker hears Willow upstairs and remarks "you live here with another woman?" - as if the idea that Buffy and Willow could be in a relationship is another thing to count against her. Then again, Spike clearly comes across as a boyfriend sleeping over, so Doris could be assuming that it's some kind of strange poly-amorous relationship. Though, that's not any better, as many modern fans would still argue that there's nothing wrong or inherently harmful to Dawn's homelife if her sister were in a polyamorous relationship either.
