Buffy's line was cut from the script: "Slick trap you set for me. Sorry to disappoint you, but I killed your two pets. There's a couple of research grants down the drain. Oh, and about you trying to kill me? I'd say that's an issue you and I need to discuss. So get ready. I'll be paying you a visit. Real soon."
Professor Walsh sends the Initiative team after a demon she refers to as Polgara class. This is a reference to the character of the same name from The Belgariad and Malloreon book series written by David & Leigh Eddings.
Buffy says about the pager Professor Walsh gives her, "I've been thinking about getting one of these"; she had one in Never Kill a Boy on the First Date (1997).
An exchange in the elevator cut due to length:
- Riley: "That panel - say something into it."
- Buffy: "My mind's a blank."
