While Principal Wood is burying Jonathan you can see his corpse's eyes twitch slightly.
As Willow and Andrew talk in the alley, across the street behind Willow several extras can be seen walking back and forth several times.
Principal Wood comes across Jonathan's dead body strewn atop the seal in the school basement approximately 3 to 5 days after Jonathan's death, yet the body shows no signs of decomposition.
As Buffy leaves Spike alone in the room to talk to Xander and Anya regarding Andrew, it sounds like she closes the door, but it's clearly slightly open as she walks further into the room.
The knots that Xander uses to tie Andrew's arms change in different shots.
In "Lessons" Spike shows Buffy his chest when he tried to rip his own heart out over the Summer. Spike has a scar on his eyebrow, apparently given to him by the Chinese Slayer in 1900, as we see in "Fool for Love". That scar hasn't healed in 102 years, but the ones on his chest are pretty much gone.
The gang get hit by the black robed guy's weapon and yet, they get up fine with no sign of pain.
I don't really know if anyone else thought about this one or not, but here goes. Spike busts through the wall to get his hands on Andrew, leaving a hole big enough to pull Andrew through while standing up. And then in the next scene, when Anya and Xander run into the room the come in through the door. Would it not have saved them time to have gone through the hole that was created when Spike grabbed Andrew?
When Willow is talking to Andrew in the Alley, her hair goes back and forth from being tucked behind her ears, to the side of her face.
Andrew: I am bad. I'm bad. I'm evil. But I'm protected by powerful forces, forces you can't even begin to imagine... little girl. If you harm me you shall know the wrath of he that is darkness and terror. Your blood will boil, and you will know true suffering. Stand down, she-witch. Your defeat is at hand--
Willow: Shut your mouth. I AM a she-witch. A very powerful she-witch... or "witch" as is more accurate.
Andrew: I can't kill anyone else.
Jonathan/The First: Okay, calm down. We can work around that.
Anya: (about interrogating Andrew) I wasn't sure if I should slap him...but then he made me want to so I thought "Okay, slap him!"
Andrew: You're barkin' up the wrong asparagus, man! I don't know anything.
Principal Wood: Now guys, look. We can settle this one of two ways. You can repaint the walls, or I can suspend you and report this little incident on your permanent record.
Delinquent #1: Fine. Do that.
Principal Wood: Okay, I was bluffing. I hadn't really thought that one through. Listen, this whole "permanent record" thing is such a myth, anyway. Colleges never ask for anything past your SAT scores, and it's not like employers are gonna be calling up to check to see how many days you missed back in high school. I could suspend you, but that would mean calling your parents, alerting your teachers, filling out paperwork, and quite possibly, having to talk to the school board, all of which sounds positively exhausting to me. Seems like it's easier just to call the police. And, in case you're wondering? This is the part where I'm not bluffing.
Willow: I'm talking! Don't interrupt me! Insignificant man. I am Willow. I am death. If you dare defy me, I will call down my fury, exact fresh vengeance, and make your worst fears come true. Okay?
Butcher: This is a Butcher shop, Neo. We don't sell toothpaste.
Warren: You're Andrew. Everybody knows you. You play by your own rules.
Andrew: That'll Do Pig!
Anya: The weasel wants to sing, he just needs a tune.
Xander: He's Primed. I'll be pumping him in no time. (Anya and Buffy look at him strangely)
Xander: He'll give us information soon.
Quentin Travers: For by wise council, you shall make your war.
The Bible verse quoted by Quentin Travers just before the explosion (Proverbs, 24:6) is from the American King James version of the bible. It reads, in full: "For by wise counsel you shall make your war: and in multitude of counselors there is safety."
Tom Lenk (Andrew) will appear in every episode after this.
The ubervamp that was raised at the end of this episode looks exactly like the monster that says "grrr argh" at the end of every Buffy episode.
The original appearance of the First Evil and the Bringers was in Season 3's "Amends" where it tried to get Angel to go evil or commit vampiric suicide by waiting for the sun.
This is Camden Toy's 3rd appearance in the BuffyVerse. He previously appeared as one of the Gentlemen in Season 4's 'Hush' and as Gnarl in this season's 'Same Time, Same Place'.
Many of the watchers that accompanied Quentin Travers on his last visit to Sunnydale in "Checkpoint" are seen at the Watcher's HQ.
Jonathan was apparently anemic.
Travers: ...we are still masters of our fate. We are still captain of our souls.
Travers is quoting W.E. Henley's poem "Invictus", which was also used by Winston Churchill in a Second World War speech.
Andrew: That'll do, pig!
This is a line uttered by Farmer Arthur Hoggett, played by James Cromwell, in Babe.
Title: Never Leave Me
This title comes form the lyrics of "Early One Morning", Spike's trigger song:
Early one morning just as the sun was rising,
I heard a young maid sing in the valley below.
Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me,
How could you use a poor maiden so?
Andrew: Or Patrick Swayze.
Ghost is considered one of the most romantic films of the 1990s. In it, Patrick Swayze returns as a ghost to warn Demi Moore. He can't take corporeal form and he uses wacky psychic Whoopie Goldberg to achieve his goal.
Warren: You can do this. You're my Iron Fist.
Iron Fist is a Marvel Comics character. He and Luck Cage, AKA Power Man, formed Heroes for Hire, Inc. Iron Fist is Daniel Thomas Rand-Kai, a martial arts master who summons his chi to raise his martial arts mastery, channeling the force through his fist. He can also use his chi to heal himself and others.
Butcher: This is a butcher shop, Neo. We don't sell toothpaste.
Neo was Keanu Reeves' character in the blockbuster film The Matrix. He wore a leather jacket (much like Andrew's) throughout most of the movie.
Xander: A trigger.
Anya: The horse?
A Hollywood horse belonging to Western star Roy Rogers, Trigger was often considered "The smartest horse in the movies." Xander is actually referring to a trigger as part of military tactics in brainwashing, whereas Anya is thinking of said stallion.
Andrew: I think Babe 2: Pig in the City was under-rated.
Universal's Babe 2: Pig in the City is rated G. It is the story of a pig (Babe) with his animal friends from the farm, that go in the City for the very first time. The movie is full of comedy and adventure.
Warren: You're in the trench, and the exhaust port is in sight.
This is in reference to the "Death Star trench run" from the original Star Wars movie.
