[edit] Happenings

• Wolfram & Hart: The supernatural lawfirm is feeling the heat after Faith betrays them. They hire a demon to kill her, but he fails. Then, they attempt to get the police to arrest Angel, but when Faith turns herself in, they let him go.
• Crossover: Angel goes to Sunnydale in The Yoko Factor after this episode, but the events that take place aren't significant enough to consider it a continuation of the story.

[edit] Characters

• Cordelia: Cordelia decides to take a paid vacation while Faith is around.

• Wesley: Wesley is given a chance to rejoin the Watcher's Council by the secret ops team. If he kills Faith, then he'll be allowed back into the fold of the Watchers. He declines their offer because of his faith in Angel.

• Kate: After discovering the truth about the otherworldly beings that inhabit the earth like demons and vampires, Kate has become the Mulder of the police force, often showing up on cases unassigned to her which involve some kind of supernatural force.

• Faith: Faith is sent to prison after she confesses to the crimes she has committed, including murder and assault.

[edit] Referbacks

• BtVS - 2x22 - Becoming: While Angelus has caused suffering to many people in the past, Cordelia's remark may specifically point to him torturing Giles, who later had a hard time trusting Angel again.

Cordelia: People always get a little funny right after they've been sadistically tortured. Well, you'd know.

• BtVS - 3x14 - Bad Girls: There are a few flashes of the episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in which Faith accidentally killed the Deputy Mayor.
• BtVS - 4x16 - Who Are You?: When Faith and Buffy had switched bodies, Faith seduced Riley, Buffy's boyfriend at the time.

Faith: I screwed her. Not to mention her boyfriend. Only—him literally.

[edit] Trivia

[edit] The Show

• Channel Surfing: Among the things that Faith flips past on the television are The Lost Weekend and the Fleischer Superman cartoons.
• Last Appearance: This episode marks the final appearance of Sarah Michelle Gellar playing Buffy in the spin-off. Although she does appear later on in archive footage, she does not appear in any other new episodes. In episodes where new footage is required, doubles are used and their faces are not shown.

[edit] Behind the Scenes

• Ratings: On its first airing, this episode scored a 5.3/7 in the overnight Nielsen ratings. It was ranked 1st out of the 15 WB shows which aired that week.
• Co-Writer: The reason why Joss Whedon is credited with writing this episode alongside Tim Minear is because Minear felt "uncomfortable" with writing Buffy's dialogue, so he had Joss write all of her dialogue.

[edit] Allusions and References

• The X-Files: The other detective on the job refers to Kate as "Scully," one of the main characters from the FOX sci-fi drama starring Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny as Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. As Kate explains, Scully is the realist while Mulder is more interested in the extraterrestrial.

Kate: Mulder is the believer. Scully is the skeptic.

[edit] Memorable Moments

[edit] Quotes

• Lee: This is getting ridiculous. The first assassin kills the second assassin sent to kill the first assassin, who didn't assassinate anyone until we hired the second assassin to assassinate the first assassin.
  Lindsay: Alright. This obviously isn't working.
  Lilah: You think?
