Anya once again mentions the world without shrimp, a dimension she had previously noted exists in Superstar (2000).
This line of Willow's was cut, when Giles returns from England and sees the damage of the Magic Box: "Um...Giles? Could you maybe make an angry face? 'Cause the smile is kind of scaring me."
Anya states in this episode that she's driving for the first time, despite the fact that she asked Xander to get into her car and flee Sunnydale with her in Graduation Day: Part 1 (1999). It is possible however she just hired one with a driver.
Unlike most times, in which everything magical is fictional, during the fight which takes place in the Magic Box, in the background is a rack filled entirely with copies of the real-world Neo-Pagan magazine Green Egg, published by the Church of All Worlds.
Xander's arm is injured in this episode and will remain in a cast until The Body (2001) (though he injures his arm again in the same episode).
