    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Series creator Joss Whedon provides the (uncredited) voice of the newscaster, his only on-air appearance in the seven year run of the show. He did make one on-screen appearance in the spin-off, Angel (1999).
    • Goofs
      When the demon is looking through the computer for Buffy's file, her name on the list of students says she is a senior with a 3.4 GPA, and that her birthday is 10/24/80. The file opens with her correct status (Sophomore) and birthday (10/24/80), and lists her GPA as 2.8. The camera goes off the computer screen and when it comes back, the file lists Buffy as being a senior with the birthday 5/6/79, with a GPA of 2.8. Later the series established Buffy's birth year as 1981, conflicting with both sets of information in "I Robot, You Jane".

      [last lines]

      Willow Rosenberg: The one boy that's really liked me, and he's a demon robot. What does that say about me?

      Buffy Summers: It doesn't say anything about you.

      Willow Rosenberg: I mean, I thought, I was really falling...

      Buffy Summers: Hey, did you forget? The one boy I've had the hots for since I moved here turned out to be a vampire.

      Xander Harris: Right. And the teacher I had a crush on: giant praying mantis.

      Willow Rosenberg: [smiling] That's true.

      Xander Harris: Yeah, it's life on the Hellmouth.

      Buffy Summers: Let's face it. None of us are ever gonna have a happy, normal relationship.

      Xander Harris: We're doomed.

      Willow Rosenberg: Yeah.

      [the three of them laugh half-hardheartedly, but eventually stop, wondering if that is actually true]

    Back to Episodic TV
    After a thrilling episode with the big Angel reveal, this gets us back to several "episodic" style episodes where the individual storyline is the focus instead of the season's overarching story. A good but not great episode. Ms. Calendar is awesome though!
