In 5.12 Checkpoint, the Scoobies reference several previous episodes. Willow and Tara tell Phillip about the “ball of sunshine” spell they were working on in 5.11 Triangle. Giles mentions the Council’s “arcane ritual”, which is a reference to the test administered to Buffy on her eighteenth birthday in 3.12 Helpless. Giles was fired by the Council in that episode.
Buffy refers to when the Watchers Council kidnapped her in 4.16 Who Are You?, as they thought she was Faith because the two had switched bodies. Buffy says to Giles that she has twice been “within slaying distance of Glory” and got beaten, this was in 5.05 No Place Like Home and 5.08 Shadow. Xander refers to the spell the gang did in 4.21 Primeval to create an Uber-Buffy. The Scoobies combined their essences, of which Xander was the heart part.
