| 1 | * 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? |
| 2 | * 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. |
| 3 | * {{Narm}}: Dawn's ridiculous line "How am I supposed to talk to you when I can't see you?" No one tell her about phones... |
| 4 | * 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. [[spoiler: 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.]] |
| 5 | * SpecialEffectFailure: Every time invisible Buffy talks, it's obvious that we're hearing Creator/SarahMichelleGellar in post-production, with no editing done to help it sound like she's actually in the scene. |
| 6 | * StrawmanHasAPoint: We're meant to hate the social worker for making Buffy's life harder and cheer Buffy on when she's invisible and gets revenge, but really, Buffy's in no state to look after a teenage girl with issues, even if she is her sister, especially considering the way she handled that was by making the social worker look like she was insane to her boss. Way to make sure that other children are being looked after, Buffy. |
| 7 | * 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. |
