* Buffy-Speak: According to Cordelia, Wesley is "Negative Energy Guy".

* Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon
* Cut the Juice: Angel saves the world at the nth second simply by unplugging Gene's machine.

*
* And earlier...
* Drives Like Crazy

* Ironic Echo Cut: "Not the kind of love that lasts".
* Layman's Terms

* Multiple Head Case: A demon sings a duet of "Bye Bye Love", which you can do if you've got a second head in your chest.
* Nerd Glasses
* Newspaper-Thin Disguise: The Host tries hiding behind a book in the school library to avoid being seen.
* Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Angel pulls up at Gene's house and ponders where he might have put his time-stopping machine. Gene simply points out the Lubber demons guarding the entry to the basement.
* The Only One: Angel asks why the Host would come to him for help. He explains that all the other champions he knows are out of town. Or dead.

* Race Against the Clock
* Running Gag: Angel trying to explain away the Host as the "school mascot".

* Stepford Smiler: Cordelia. The others tell her to stop trying and wallow in the depression.

* Summation Gathering: Gunn is being congratulated on having killed a demon who was threatening a rich family, only for Wesley to announce that the demon was being controlled by someone in this very room! Wes then launches into a classic Agatha Christie-style summation, listing the clues until he narrows it down to the guilty party.
* Tempting Fate: One should never use the word "controllable" in reference to a time experiment.
* What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?: The Host's difficulties of finding a bartender who can make a proper Sea Breeze after Ramone's departure.
