This is just about the only episode where I like Faith. My favorite part is when Faith busts Buffy out of school and they go and tear up the nest and go dancing. Best part ever!
 
now this is just pure classic buffy, ever since faith arrived its like we were waiting to see her in action completely and its almost like we were expecting her to go over the edge she really is like a fireball, i loved everything about this episode, cute jealous willow over buffys time with faith, and one of my favourite xander moments with the eye twitching everytime someone says faiths name, hilarious, then you have the girls out dancing, wow loved it, class eppy its great to see faith in the spotlight, shes quite a girl
 
This is one of the BtVS episodes that I have watched more than say 20 or 30 times, it never fails to entertain me.
It was just so well crafted, and it was fun to see Buffy explore the more 'primal' side of herself with Faith, a little slutty dancing is good for eveyone.
And one of my fave B/A moments ever is when she runs up and jumps on him at the Bronze (and then the scene that follows with Wes and the 'pooch in his jacket' is funny too 😀 )
 
I love this episode!!!!
Buffy and Faith are great together... Too bad Faith killed a man xD

My favorite scene is the one in the weapon shop, the "want, take, get" quote!! They way they get out the police car.
But the dancing scene in the Bronze is great too.

Well, I love the whole episode =P
 
I thought, (as I mentioned in another post and would welcome to discuss here) that this episode was Buffy learning how to really be a Slayer- the rules a Slayer follows, etc. Buffy was always a High School girl that killed vampires until Faith came around.
 
Excellent point Shemp, and if I may expound on that. We all know that Willow has self-esteem problems (as witnessed in Restless) and we all know that she turned to the dark magic as a result of self-esteem issues (due to peer pressure and the desire not to be viewed as the nerd she saw herself as). So one could deduce that in fact, Buffy, by her 'pushing' Willow away, played a larger part in Willows going all dark root and veiny.

I would TOTALLY go with that, willow didnt want to be the sidekick, as she has stated before (fear itself) she didnt want to be powerless and wanted to help buffy, contribute to the group. Buffy didnt help much whenever she dismissed anything witchy, (witch stuff?) willow didnt have to go dark and veiny if she had had the support of buffy.
 
I yet haven't had the pleasure of watching that episode.. I have only watched very few episodes of season 3, but I am working on that!
