The original opening scene of 2.17 Disharmony, like 1.17 Eternity and 2.15 Reprise, began with a misdirection:
We probably don’t know where we are as we open close on Cordelia and Gunn, both scrutinising something off camera.
Gunn: “Found ‘em just like this. Blood all over”
Cordelia: “Dried blood. This wasn’t recent. No telling how long they’ve been here”
Gunn: (shaking his head) “Look, I don’t care what darkside detour Angel goes off on…”
WIDEN to reveal Gunn holding up a couple of COFFEE MUGS with DRIED BLOOD caked inside and around the edges.
Gunn: “The man’s gotta stop leaving his dirty cups all over the damn place”.

A great idea ! Maybe it was dropped because the ploy had already been used several times. Anyway, I love scenes where the vampires’ peculiarities are treated in a very casual way (just watch Harmony brushing her teeth, or Cordy (and Spike) trying to make blood tastier!).
Besides, the notion of washing up a vampire’s dirty dishes is just… :D
