    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The scene in which Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Giles stand and discuss what they'll do the next day, which ends with Giles saying to himself "The Earth is definitely doomed" is an homage to the very first story-line of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997). The Harvest (1997) ends with Buffy, Xander, and Willow walking away talking about ways for Buffy to get herself kicked out of school, and Giles turns and mutters "The Earth is doomed".
    • Goofs
      Buffy's footwear changes from boots to shoes in the shot where she jumps off the bus onto the road.
    • Quotes

      Xander Harris: So, did you see?

      Andrew Wells: I-I was scared. I'm sorry.

      Xander Harris: Did you see what happened? I mean, was she...

      Andrew Wells: She was incredible. She died saving my life.

      Xander Harris: That's my girl. Always doin' the stupid thing.
