Revision as of 13:19, 8 January 2014

 Is this the master plan? You're going to stop me by telling me you love me?

Willow beats Giles and plans to end the world herself. Spike passes the Demon Trials and gets back his soul.

 Dark!Willow: You're always saving everyone. It's kinda pesky.

 Anya: Things just got a whole lot worse.

Buffy: How worse?

Anya: End of the world worse. Willow's going to destroy it.

 Anya: In hindsight, it would have been better if you (Giles) didn't come back and Willow would never have taken your magic and become like ten times stronger. That would've been a plus.

 Xander: Hey, Black-Eyed Girl. Whatcha doin'?

 "You're such a hypocrite. Waltzing in here with your borrowed magicks. So you can tell me what? Magic's bad? Behave? Be a good girl? (chuckles) Well, I ... I don't think you're in any position to be telling me what to do. (camera pans up to show Giles pinned to the ceiling)

  • Rule of Symbolism: One of the Trials involves Spike being covered in scarab beetles, which were sacred to the ancient Egyptians who associated it with the sun which brought renewal, rebirth, and more importantly resurrection. During mummification a stone scarab was placed over the heart of the mummy to ensure the eternal endurance of the human soul as the person made the journey into the Afterworld.
  • Rule of Three

 Buffy: Giles!

Anya: Giles!

Dark!Willow: Daddy's home. I'm in wicked trouble now.

 Dawn: What? You think I never watched you?

 Giles: Willow has killed a human being. How will she be able to live with herself?

Dark!Willow: I wouldn't worry about that. Willow doesn't live here anymore.

 Spike: So you'll give me what I want. Make me what I was. So Buffy can get what she deserves.

Demon: Very well. We will return...your soul.
