Episode Quotes

	Season 3 / Episode 9: - The Wish The Master: [holds up a young girl] Hungry? I've lost my appetite for this one. She keeps looking at me. I'm trying to eat and she looks at me!
	Season 3 / Episode 9: - The Wish Xander: [as Vamp Xander] "Gotta get Buffy here." Isn't that what they called The Slayer? Willow: [as Vamp Willow] Hm, Buffy, ooh scary. Xander: [as Vamp Xander] Someone has to talk to her people. That name is striking fear in nobody's hearts.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CHAR: While Anya and Cordelia are talking before Anya gives Cordelia the necklace, there is a girl in the background who stands still, unsure of what she's doing before then moving.
BOOM: At 17:10, as Harmony says, "Is that a joke?" the tip of the boom microphone dips into the frame.

TRIVIA

In the series finale, Giles says that there is a Hellmouth "in Cleveland". This is a reference to another throwaway line, in the/spot Season 3 episode "The Wish": in an alternate reality where Buffy never came to Sunnydale, Giles phones her watcher, and then says, "Yes, I know there is a lot of demonic activity in Cleveland.... There happens to be a Hellmouth in Sunnydale...."
Anya was only meant to appear in the episode "The Wish" but was brought back for "Doppelgängland" where she was made more humorous. When the producers realized how funny Emma Caulfield (I) was they simply kept bringing her back, until she was made a regular cast member (including appearing in the opening credits) at the start of season five.
