Continuity[]

Harmony and Clem are in Paris, as explained by Spike in A House Divided. Harmony had mentioned she always wanted to go to France in episode "The Harsh Light of Day."
Harmony and Clem first hear about Shenlong’s attack, which happened in issue The Spread of Their Evil.
Buffy has a new hairstyle due to an attack in battle, as she had before against Simone Doffler (The Core, Part Five).
Buffy feeds Spike a cup of blood through a straw, as she had done in episode "Something Blue."
Willow returns the magic to her Wicca students after absorbing it in Back to the Wall.
Jordan mentions Buffy sharing the Slayer power to multiple Potential Slayers ("Chosen").
Willow recalls her experience with a high level of power and it causing her to go "a little nuts," in reference to her magic addiction in season 6.
The Scooby Gang resumes the interrupted barbecue from The Spread of Their Evil.
Giles returns after leaving in A House Divided, and tells Faith his adventures from the Giles: Girl Blue spin-off.
The supernatural have returned to shadows; with the exception of Harmony, this reverts to the dynamics from before Harmonic Divergence with the difference of the world still knowing about the supernatural.
Xander uses a Vampy Cat spatula, the demonic plush toy from Swell.
Buffy tells Spike she loves him for the first time since his death ("Chosen"). She does so mentioning she "didn’t forget," in reference to him interrupting her declaration in Disempowered to ask: "tell me when we see each other again."
