Buffy, in her role as guidance counselor, tells RJ (Thad Luckinbill) that "I'm not that much older than you. In fact, we're practically the same age." In reality, Luckinbill is two years older than Sarah Michelle Gellar.
When talking about love spells Xander flashes back to the Season Two's Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (1998) where a spell goes scarily wrong and every woman in Sunnydale is lusting after him.
The Breeders make an uncredited appearance as the band playing the Bronze.
This is one of only two occasions where Xander takes charge of the Scoobies (because of the girls all being affected by the love spell). The other is in Bargaining: Part 2 (2001).
This exchange was cut due to length, where Dawn tries to figure out the relationship between Spike and her sister:
- Dawn: "And I'm even trying to understand that. A little. The rape part."
- Buffy: "He didn't. I mean, he tried-"
- Dawn: "Not that. I just... you guys had sex a lot, right? It's not like you were strangers. Weren't you even... being kind of rough with each other? Anya said some stuff."
