| MEMORABLE MOMENTS | |
| BUFFY EPISODE TRIVIA | | - When Giles, Xander and Willow are in the library and realize that there is a curse that is making nightmares reality, Xander (wearing his gym clothes to cover up after the curse took the outfit he was wearing) says, "Well, um....[tugs on the collar of his shirt] We have to stop it!"
- Xander stands up to the frightening clown, punches him in the face and exclaims that he was terrible and made bad balloon animals.
- Buffy as a vampire - just too weird not to be intriguing!
