The episode 3.09 The Wish is clearly influenced by the 1946 movie It’s a Wonderful Life, which tells the heart-warming story of a suicidal man, George Bailey, who is shown how the world would have been different if he’d never been born. The film was directed by Frank Capra and starred James Stewart.
In the Angel episode 2.16 Epiphany, Lorne says:
“Eh, kill her, give her cab fare, whatever. The point is, you’ve turned a corner. (Comes walking over tot he table, carrying two drinks) Well, yay you. Zuzu’s petals. It’s about time”
In It’s a Wonderful Life, after seeing what the world would be like without him, George Bailey reaches inside his pocket and pulls out the petals of a flower his daughter Zuzu had given him earlier.
