Revealing: In the scene where Kate finds her father dead, just after the shot of his neck wounds, she is sitting over him and you can see the father blinking a few times.

Revealing: When Angel stands at the cabinet with a file folder in his hand, you don't see the folder in the reflection in the window (which Cordelia uses as mirror to put on her lipstick) but you can see the cabinet.

Factual error: According to the show, Angel learned quite a few languages when he was evil. However, when he tries to start a conversation with a red-faced demon, he makes terrible mistakes. He said "Hablo Espanol?" which literally means "Do I speak Spanish?" and he said something like "Are you from Byelorussia?" in a tongue that hardly resembled Russian, although according to the captions, it was said in Russian.
