[edit] Referbacks

• 2x11 - Redefinition: Angel used the rope torture method to extract information out of Merl when he was attempting to change into something darker to cope with Darla'a existence in the world.

Merl: I want back the three months I spent in therapy after being hung upside down in a sewer.

• 1x20 - War Zone: There are several references to Gunn's introduction episode, particularly the death of Alanna. In the episode, she was kidnapped by vampires and turned. She then tried to seduce Gunn into becoming a vampire as well, but he killed her instead.

• 2x19 - Belonging: George was killed by vampires in the park where the crew set up traps to capture and kill a vampire. His body was cremated and the ashes were spread over the river.

Rondell: I ain't heard word one from you. Not since we spread what was left of George in the river.

• 2x20 - Over the Rainbow: George's death directly caused Gunn to decide on coming with Angel, Wesley and Lorne to the alternate dimension. Although, Rondell probably isn't speaking literally here.

Rondell: Some of us were even starting to wonder if you were still in this world.

• 2x14 - The Thin Dead Line: Wesley was shot by a zombie police officer who was determined to kill anyone who broke the law or stood in his way from enforcing it. The gunshot left him in a wheelchair for several episodes and he lost a great deal of blood.

Wesley: The last time I was merely wounded. It took months to heal. Wounded, if I recall, in an attempt to help you.

[edit] Trivia

[edit] The Show

• Final Appearances: This episode marks the final on-screen appearances of Merl and Gunn's crew.
• Cut Scene: In the original script, a scene where Cordelia and Fred talk and better express why Cordelia doesn't "get" Fred was cut for time. The dialogue is as follows:

Cordelia: You're exactly the sort of girl who would have hated me in high school.

Fred: Oh, I'm sure that's not true.

Cordelia: No, no it is. I pretty much saw to it. I was a cheerleader, had power, popularity. You didn't know me then.

Fred: No, I didn't. I knew you when you were a princess.

Cordelia: Uh, right. Anyway...
