According to the original prop, the letter Buffy leaves for Spike reads: "Spike, You told me things last night that I really needed to hear. I feel stronger now because of you. I know what my mission is and that Caleb's holding the secret to it all. This one I have to take care of alone. You take care too. Buffy"
The sex scene between Willow and Kennedy is the first lesbian sex scene ever on network TV, as noted by "After Ellen" network site.
The Turkish spell that Willow casts to get the Bringer to speak translates as: "Speak to us the man without a voice. Speak to us the man without eyes."
This exchange was cut due to length:
- Andrew: "I spy with my little eye something that begins with a...'Y'."
- Spike: "A 'Y'? There's nothing here that-"
- Andrew: "Yet another tapestry!"
This episode was filmed after End of Days (2003), even though it aired beforehand, so that Eliza Dushku could film the pilot for Tru Calling (2003)
