Writer Mere Smith had the following to say about the Anne and Angel debate in Blood Money:
“That was actually a big debate. Does Anne recognise Angel? Does Angel recognise Anne? Because they had a brief exchange in Lie to Me, second season. And so we had this, does he recognise her, does he not recognise her. And we were like, okay, it was three years ago, they said two sentences to each other, he’s totally not gonna recognise her. So we went with that angle. I was sort of on the fence. I was like, you can’t neglect the mythology. And Joss was like, ‘Do you remember everybody you met three years ago, and shared three sentences with?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, fine, use logic.’ I was kind of excited to get to take a Buffy character.”
