In Beneath You, Buffy finds out that Spike has earned himself a soul in an attempt to be worthy of her. The title could hark back to the episode Fool For Love, in which Spike is told by both Cecily and Buffy, “You’re beneath me”.

In Superstar, Buffy interrupts Anya reading Jonathan’s autobiography. Anya complains that she was just getting to the part where he “invents the internet”. This is a deliberate prod at Al Gore, who was getting a lot of flack at the time for allegedly making the very same claim. …

When Buffy is sitting on her bed looking through her photo album in Prophecy Girl, it is clearly visible when she turns the page that the exact same pictures are used on both pages they have just been moved into different places.

Jenny’s classroom is never consistent. In I Robot, You Jane, the set up of the room has the door parallel to her desk and with the computers in cubicals. Throughout season 2, her door is perpendicular with the door and the computers are on tables. It is unlikely she simply …

In the episode Angel, Giles reads from a book that Angel is the “one with the angelic face.” In Storyteller, as Andrew is introducing Spike, Buffy, and Anya in their sexy poses, he describes Buffy as having an “angelic face”.

In What’s My Line, Part Two, Kendra and Buffy finally start communicating with each other, while preparing for a big fight. Kendra talks about how her parents gave her over to her Watcher when she was a very small child, because her people take ‘the calling’ very seriously.

Joss Whedon has said that he and a friend came up with the idea of the Hellmouth to explain all the weird things that happen in Sunnydale and also why monsters and demons would want to come there.

In an (undefined) interview about the episode Angel, Joss Whedon said that Sarah and David had what he called a “breath off”, where they both ate as many horrible things as possible before the kissing scene.

In All the Way, Buffy is startled when she runs into Spike in the Magic Shop basement. She says, “Bell. Neck. Look into it.” In School Hard, Xander says the same thing about Angel, “Okay, that’s it. I’m puttin’ a collar with a little bell on that guy.” In Phases, …

In Gile’s dream sequence in Restless, he sees Spike posing for photographers in the crypt. One of the poses Spike makes is like Jesus on the Cross arms stretched out to either side. This could be a reference to Chosen where Spike of course lays down his life to save …

Cordelia: “Just look at that Amber. Who does she think she is, a Laker Girl?”

At 09:07 minutes into the episode The Wish in Season three. You see an extra in the background pictured between Anya and Cordelia. She obviously does not know she is in shot as she hesitates before deciding to walk.

In Tabula Rasa, Buffy says, after an unexpected blow, “note to self, learn to duck”. She didn’t heed her own wisdom though - in Lessons, when Buffy discovers crazy Spike, he says “Buffy, duck.” To which Buffy replies, “What? Duck? There’s a duck?” Then she gets hit by …
