Did You Know?
| Trivia | When Giles is at the airport ready to catch his plane for England, Tara gives him (as a goodbye gift) a little plastic finger monster which she puts on her finger and says "Grrr... argh". This is the same monster and sound that is made at the end, just after the credits, by the production company mascot Mutant Enemy. See more » |
| Goofs | The Scooby gang is trying to convince the town that Buffy is still alive by using the Buffybot. They assume if people find out that Buffy is dead, Dawn will be taken away. However, in the season 5 finale, a giant tombstone with Buffy's name on it was shown in the cemetery. The shot of the tombstone is also shown during the 'Previously on Buffy' montage. Having a giant tombstone erected is not conducive to pretending Buffy is alive. See more » |

Xander Harris:
Excuse me? Who made you the boss of the group? Anya: You did. Tara Maclay: You said Willow should be boss. Anya: And then you said, "let's vote," and it was unanimous. Tara Maclay: And then you made her this little plaque that said, "Boss of Us," and you put little sparkles on it and... Xander Harris: Valid points, all. But we... I mean... We were just talking then. See more » |
