Corrected entry: Joss Whedon's Laws for killing a vampire have been broken or ignored in this episode. The 3 ways to kill a vampire in the show are either: stake to the heart, burning the vampire, or decapitation. However, Angel manages to burn Drusilla and Darla from head to toe, yet neither of them die. In previous episode some vampires were killed by just a little bit of fire.

Corrected entry: How do Angel and the gang know that Marcus has the gem? Spike didn't realise until after they had all left the warehouse, and none of them saw Marcus take The Ring.

Corrected entry: Connor's stake cannon has 3 barrels, all of which are assumed to be loaded, when he arrives. During the episode teaser, he fires one stake from each of the three barrels. After the credits, he fires two more stakes from the top barrel and one from the right. Of course, he hasn't stopped to reload and it's obvious that there is no room in the simple device for more than a single projectile and the launching mechanism. (00:00:15 - 00:01:50)
Correction: The shot is off Connor for a long time after he fires the first stake (as it follows the stake across the room and shows Groo and Gunn starting to charge) and Connor can move at incredibly fast speeds, so it's possible he reloaded the device during that space of time, which would explain why 4 stakes are fired from a device that only holds three.

Correction: Darla and Dru are two exceedingly powerful vampires, and while it seems like they're on fire for a long time because of the slow-motion, the reality is that they were only alight for a few seconds before being doused with water. The only time we've seen vampires burn up faster than this is in direct sunlight, which affects vampires differently than ordinary fire.
