Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the episode, when Buffy lands on the school bus she's wearing pointed toe pink shoes, but in the next shot where she's jumping off the bus roof, she's wearing brown Timberlake boots. (00:39:11 - 00:39:40)
Continuity mistake: When Manny stamps Buffy's card in the time clock, he hands the time card to her with his right hand, but in the next shot facing Buffy, Manny hands the card to Buffy with his left hand.
Continuity mistake: When Timothy shows Buffy how to use the grill, there is a wood-handled grill press, and another tool, right in front of the button panel. However, after he says, "It eliminates variation," in the close-up as he presses the button, both tools as well as the transparent plastic glove he wears have all vanished. (Another mistake notes a different close-up with a disappearing glove.) (00:17:25)
Continuity mistake: When Buffy is assigned to the grill, as Timothy explains the process he's wearing a short-sleeved orange/white stripe uniform. In the close-up, when he places the second patty on the grill, Timothy is wearing a 3/4 sleeve, dark blue shirt. (00:17:15)
Continuity mistake: Just before Buffy storms out on Spike, she puts on her denim jacket. When viewed from in front we can see the jacket is only half over her shoulders and her hair is loose. The shot cuts to view her from behind, and the jacket is now completely on and her hair is tucked under the collar.
Continuity mistake: When Buffy is being offered the 'doublemeat medley' burger by her boss, the burger looks different in close up than in the long shots. In the close shot, the burger looks overall bigger, more filling is visible and there is more lettuce sticking out.
Continuity mistake: The finger changes position in Buffy's hand as she picks it up. (00:23:35)
Visible crew/equipment: While Xander tells the gang about the "demon" he encountered, they all walk into Giles' apartment, and just as Xander heads up the stairs, the white T-mark taped to the rug is visible under the corner of the desk with the lamp, where Willow will stand. (00:27:00)
Continuity mistake: Right as Buffy gets out of the car and watches Joyce drive away, Cordelia and her friend are walking up the stairs, along with a girl in a blue shirt at the top of the stairs walking towards the school. The next shot Buffy is walking towards the stairs, Cordelia is already far away chatting with her friend and the girl is blue is back on the stairs again. (00:27:00)
Answer: She has superpowers, ergo fast movement. The reason she outruns him so easily in "Touched" is that she stops trying to actually fight him and just dodges instead.
