Trivia In Glory's rant, after interrogating the monk, she mentions "someone sits on a tuffet". Dawn has been referred to as Little Miss Muffet in the dream that Faith had while in her coma in Graduation Day: Part 2 (1999) (Miles to go. Little Miss Muffet counting down from 7-3-0). See more »
Goofs (at around 34 mins) When Buffy is apologizing to Dawn and the camera angle switches to behind Dawn facing Buffy, you can see the boom mic bobbing in the upper left-hand corner. See more »
