Latest revision as of 08:38, 24 November 2014


Faith returns to Sunnydale and a new agent of the First sends Buffy a message.

  • Analogy Backfire: For Caleb, the whole water-into-wine thing. What if someone ordered white wine?
  • Attack Hello: Buffy greets Faith by punching her in the face and making a not very convincing excuse the she didn't know it was her.
  • Bait and Switch: Lampshaded by Spike.
  • Bigger Bad: Satan is a little man.
  • Birds of a Feather: Spike and Faith. Over a cigarette they have a rather deep conversation, as they had both gone evil and are trying to reform, and trying to figure out just where they're at with Buffy. Between Faith talking about dressing as a schoolgirl using a bullwhip on a guy (Spike says she can do better than that, and Faith scoffs at the whole dressing up gig) and a really vivid comment Faith made to Spike (as Buffy) it leads into Will They or Won't They? territory. Long incarceration.
    • Averted with Spike and Angel, whom Spike vigorously denies being anything like.
  • Buffy-Speak: Spike is all repenty.
  • Call Back: Faith borrowing Buffy's stake to dust a vampire happened when they first met in "Faith, Hope and Trick".
  • Casual Kink / Whip It Good: Faith has a frank discussion of her kinky sex life with Spike.
  • Catholic School Girls Rule / Sexy Whatever Outfit: Lampshaded by Faith and Spike. Dawn wears a rather cute pleated skirt too.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Andrew's exposition on Faith's Face Heel Turn is overly dramatized but mostly correct... until he mistakes "volcanologist" for "Vulcan" and we see a flashback of Faith fighting Spock.
    • Faith attacking Spike for attacking a female vampire who looks like a typical Victim of the Week.
    • Chao Ahn, as usual. After Andrew delivers a scary spiel about Faith, who's doing martial arts training on the lawn...

(Subtitled) "There is a girl in the backyard doing gymnastics"
[Andrew nods seriously as if he understands]

Faith: Please. Do you think I'm stupid?
Spike: Well, yeah.

STOP-HITTING-ME!

Girl 1: I've never been with a man. I could die tomorrow, and I've never been with a man.
Xander: Well, uh?
Girl 2: I've never been with a man before either.
Xander: Colleen.
Girl 2: I've never been with her in front of a man before.

Girl 1: I've never been with her in front of a man, either.

Xander: Um...

Girl 1: Xander...

Girl 2: We're so scared.

Rona: Xander! Xander! Goddamnit!

Xander: (wakes up) What's going on? I was sleeping.

Rona: Dominique has the stomach flu, and the toilet bowl is backed up.
