ADD TRIVIA-
At the beginning of the episode Wesley tells Angel that Illyria had just put a petri dish in her mouth. Wesley pronounces the word "petri" with a long "e" sound, which is the American pronunciation. As Wesley is English he should have used the British English pronunciation of the word which uses a short "e" sound.
-
When Vail tells Angel he wants Sahjahn dead, Angel says he has already trapped him in an urn, but it wasn't Angel who did it, it was Justine. This happened in Forgiving (3x17).
-

ADD QUOTES-
Illyria: (to Wesley) You reek of frustration. Curls off of you like smoke. Spike: Actually, love, we call that scotch. Twelve-year Lagavulin if I'm not mistaken. Good choice.
-
Wesley: She doesn't understand our world. She needs someone to guide her. She needs... Angel: When was the last time you slept? You're not her savior. I need you here, working, not off drinking yourself into a coma, chasing ghosts. Fred's dead, Wes. You're still alive. Start acting like it.
-
Wesley: (about Illyria) She's either counting oxygen molecules or analyzing the Petri dish she just put into her mouth. Or sleeping. I can never quite tell. Angel: You sure this is a good idea? Wesley: We have plenty of Petri dishes.
-
Sahjahn: I do appreciate it though... That urn wasn't exactly a day at the spa... I owe you one! Connor: Right... Well, before you start trying to kiss me, I should probably tell you... You and I, we're... we're suppose to fight. Sahjahn: Is that right? Connor: Yeah. Sahjahn: Now, why would you want... Ah, you're him... Connor: Yeah, I'm me. Hi!
-
Connor: Here's how it works. I kill this Sahjahn thing and we walk. You come near my family again and I'll slit your throat and if that doesn't kill you I'll chop your whole head off, and if that doesn't work I'll... I'll just keep stabbing you till you bleed to death. You understand that? Cyvus Vail: I do. Connor: Good, so where is he?
-
Connor: (to Angel) You got to do what you can to protect your family. I learned that from my father.
-
Spike: (to Wesley) Oh, old broody-pants got you wound up, eh? Keep in mind, he can't get laid without maybe going crazy. Makes it funny.

Connor: You almost broke that guy in half! (beat) That was awesome!

-
Angel: Tell you what. Why don't you just tell me? Hamilton: Lets be clear about this. Things run differently now. I'm not a little girl. You and I won't be making love on this couch anytime soon. Now, with that in mind, how can I help you?
-
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.
-
Illryia: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: No, I – I – It's just, uh... It's the outfit. I guess I've always had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that. Connor: What? Angel: Nothing.
-
Illryia: I'd like to keep Spike as my pet.

Sahjahn: Thank you, mortal, for releasing me from my cursed prison. In gratitude I grant you three wishes. Connor: Really? Sahjahn: Nah, I'm just messing with you.

Notes
ADD NOTES-
Connor saying he doesn't like it when people touch his neck is reminiscent of "Sleep Tight" (3x16), in which Holtz threatened to snap his neck when he was a baby.
-
Vincent Kartheiser is now credited as a "Special Guest Star."
-
Spike comments that Illyria may have the ability to talk to plants. In previous episodes, Fred had a history of weird interactions with plants.
-
Hamilton offers to get Gunn out of the suburban prison for an unknown price. Gunn refuses, remembering that the last time Wolfram & Hart did something for him it killed someone (Fred).
-
In the split-second flashes that begin Act Four, you can see images of Justine, Holtz, Lilah, Gwen, and Cordy.
-
Wesley gets back his memories of Connor (among other things that occured during season 4) that had been erased in "Home" (4x22).
-
Sahjhan refers to the fake prophecy he created that said "The Father will kill the Son" (Angel being the father, Connor, the son) when he remarks that prophecies aren't always true.
-
This episode marks the death of Sahjhan, finally fulfilling the Nyazian Scrolls that foresaw his death at the hands of Angel's son.
-
Connor says he has a thing for older women, a reference to what happened between him and Cordelia in "Apocalypse, Nowish" (4x07) and much of last season.

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Connor: Yeah, well, I figured I was going to Tony Roma's with my folks tonight but... I'm here. Learn to cope. Tony Roma's is a casual dining chain restaurant specializing in barbecued ribs.
-
Sahjahn: In gratitude I grant you three wishes. Sahjahn alludes to the famous myths of genies. In pre-Islamic, Arabic mythology, genies (jinn) were believed to be spirits with vast supernatural powers. Most famously, the genie from the story of Aladdin was bound to a small oil lamp and would grant three wishes to the person who rubbed the lamp to release him.
-
Connor: Open Sesame or whatever. Open Sesame were the magical words that opened the treasure cave in the story "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, often referred to as Arabian Nights.
-
Connor: Do you spend all your time making out with other vampires, like in Anne Rice novels?
In Anne Rice novels, (such as "The Vampire Chronicles" series) most vampires have somewhat inappropriate relations with the vampires who make them and the vampires that they make. Also vampires they happen to meet on the street. -
Wesley: Was this your 30 pieces of silver?
This quote refers to Judas Iscariot betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver to the High Priests in the Bible.
