In 3.22 Graduation Day (Part Two), Faith says (as a foreshadowing of the arrival of Buffy’s sister Dawn):
“Little Miss Muffet counting down from 7-3-0″
In the season five episode 5.02 Real Me, Dawn is approached by a mad man who calls her “curds and whey”. This is a line from the popular children’s nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet.
In 5.05 No Place Like Home, Glory says:
“I’m just going to sit on this tuffet…”
This is apt as she’s looking for the Key, which is in the shape of Dawn.

So many connections… it never fails to amaze me.

Also, the “7-3-0″ part of Faith’s foreshadowing is interesting to look into for Buffy fans. In Restless, the clock reads 7.30, or 7-3-0, but Tara says that this is wrong. Also note that Buffy’s address is 1630 Revello drive. “1 an 6 make 7 and then followed by 3 and 0, again we have 7-3-0 indicating Dawn’s arrival at the actual Summer’s residence.
The most interesting thing that I have found that I believe has never been mentioned before (so I want credit if this gets added to the Trivia..lol) is “Curds and Whey” is actually an old English saying for “Cottage Cheese”
Cheese is mention throughout Restless by the “Cheese man” himself. Although Joss claims this ment nothing, I beg to differ little lady! Also the moon is often referred to as being made of cheese and the moon was thought to send people mad!
Maybe I am mad! But I can see a great connection here.

From Home:
GUNN: The only thing I seek is the lobby. I already rubbed elbows with Little Miss Muffet once. I don’t need a repeat with her replacement.
