Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPat mentions to Buffy that Joyce read "The Deep End of the Ocean" while Buffy was gone. It is a 1996 novel by Jacquelyn Mitchard about a suburban middle-class family much like Buffy's that is torn apart when the youngest son disappears, only to reappear at the front doorstep years later.
- GoofsAs Buffy is walking home, she is clearly wearing platforms, but later when she goes down to get dinner plates, she is wearing high heels.
- Quotes
Rupert Giles: [to himself] Unbelievable. "Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead." Americans.
- Alternate versionsFor the UK video release, 2 scenes were required to be cut. The first, was a car hot-wiring scene by Giles. The BBFC were concerned it was an "imitable technique", so it was cut. The second, was a neck snapping (strangely called a headbutt by the BBFC) near the end of the episode. This was required to keep a 12 certificate.

Featured review
Unnecessary stuff
I feel like this episode would have been a 10 if it didn't have the mask subplot. The character stuff going on was enough to carry the episode I feel.
