ADD TRIVIA-
Cordelia asks Skip to demonize her so that the visions don't kill her. However, Doyle was half demon and the visions appeared to affect him similarly to how they affected Cordelia as a human. When Cordelia is demonized they give her no problems. Perhaps it is the type of demon they put into her?

Where and/or how did Phantom Dennis get the party hat, confetti, banner, etc. to suprise Cordelia when he is unable to leave the apartment
-
When Angel is possessed by Cordelia, he writes an address on a wall. The address is gone in the next shot when he's blown backward.
-
When Cordelia goes to grab the pen, her hand seemlessly passes through, but you can see the strings of her jacket noticeably touch the desk.
-
If you look really closely, in the scene when Wesley pushes away Cordy with one arm-and starts to slay the demon, notice something black flies out of her hand. If you pause it and zoom in on your DVD, it resembles a microphone box or a cell phone. Hard to tell.
-
Throughout the scenes with Wesley in the alternate universe you can see that the actor is hiding his "missing" arm in his shirt behind his back.
-
In "The Prodigal", Cordelia's birthday was established as being May 22nd, so why are they celebrating it so far from the season finale? Time goes by differently in television than in real life, but it's odd that Cordelia's birthday this season is the week Buffy's birthday was in seasons one through four of Buffy.

The "alternate reality" sitcom Cordy! was actually filmed on the set of Dharma & Greg.

This is the second time an alternate version of reality has been created in order to give Cordelia what she thinks she wants. The first was in the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode 'The Wish' (3x09).

When Skip says the PTB turn back time "not much", he is of course referring to season 1 episode 'I Will Remember You' (1x08) in which the PTB turned back time so that Angel could stop himself becoming human.
-
On the DVD set, There was a deleted scene. It was actually a scene from the show "Cordy". But Marti Noxon and Tim Minear believed that the scene would appear to be like a fake comedy, and that's not how they wanted it portrayed. This is why it wasn't aired....also they had to cut nominal things out to fit the time.
-
Nice bit of continuity: Wes attributes the loss of his arm to a "nasty encounter with a Kungai demon a few years back." Pop in your season one DVDs and you'll find that 'Parting Gifts' (1x10) the episode where rogue demon hunter Wesley shows up in town, has him on the trail of a Kungai demon when he runs into Angel.
-
Cordelia now becomes part demon as a side effect of being able to control her visions.

Here we see a rather alternate outcome to 'Hero' (1x09), in which Angel inherited (don't wanna know how...) Doyle's visions. But they made him crazy. We also see Wes and Gunn joined him but Wes has lost an arm.
-
The theme tune to "Cordy" was written by David Greenwalt and sung by Marti Noxon

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Cordy Theme: (Cordy takes off her hat, spins around, and throws it up into the air) This is a reference to the end of the Mary Tyler Moore opening credits. For years the opening credit sequence of this series ended with Mary taking off her hat and throwing it up in the air where the image froze. This often copied gesture became almost synonymous with the idea of a young, attractive, "liberated" woman.
