The powerful general is unable to save his family, and his loss of will allows him to get captured and put into the Gladiator games until he dies.

8. Skip: ''You may wanna think about that. The only way you get to keep the visions is by becoming, part demon. The process isn't easy. It'll make your vision pain feel like a stroll through Candyland, and even after the pain subsides the effects of the transition will be numerous and unpredictable. You may never be able to lead a human life again.''
   Candyland is a childrens board game. All players enter their pawn on the multi-colored track at the start sign on the lower left corner of the board. The cards are placed face down on the playing surface, and each player takes a card and moves their pawn as indicated on the card. Players alternate, moving one after the other, regardless of the position of their pawn on the board. The intent of each player is to arrive at the end of the track before any other players.

Angel, Wesley, Gunn and Fred sing Happy Birthday to Cordelia. You can listen to them sing it here.

The events of this episode clearly indicate that Cordelia's birthday falls around the second week of January. If you base Cordelia's age on what year she attended school, she is probably 21 this year. Based on the broadcast dates of the other episodes, she had her 20th birthday some time near Blood Money. Although Redefinition's air date was closer to this date, the events of the episode clearly indicate it happened in late 2000. Cordelia's 19th birthday happened some time just before Somnambulist.

Tammy received the visions in 1630. They killed her in less then a year.

The credits to the Cordy show say besides Cordelia Chase, the show stars Gregory Dunne, Elliott Simms and Carol Wright. The show was created by Phlegmont and Mendoza. The lyrics of the theme go ''1, 2, 3, 4. Yes, I hear it in her laughter. Ohh, I see it in her smile. Yeah, you'll be hanging from the rafters. Ooh, better stay a while. Ooh, better stay a while. This whole world filled with laughter. You got my heart a little wired. Hey, you'll be hanging from the rafters. Ooh, better stay a while. Ooh, better stay a while. Ooh, better stay a while.'' The song was sung by Marti Noxon and David Greenwalt. Words and music by David Greenwalt. You can listen to him sing it here. (Thanks to jonathaN help with this sound clip.)

The shooting script had a different theme song for the Cordy show. It originally went ''Small town girl In the big time world Kuh-Kuh-Kuh Cordy Kuh-Kuh-Kuh Cordy. Designin' fashion is her life's passion Kuh-Kuh-Kuh Cordy Kuh-Kuh-Kuh Cordy. Forget Gucci, Prada and Versace. She works with what she's got, she's Kuh-Kuh-Kuh Cordy CORDEE!!''
