Faith's hesitation

It was either Buffy stabs her or Buffy kisses her. Hey I vote for the latter but ya know.

Me too. Me too!

But no, I don't think there was hesitation. I think Faith did want to die, maybe she didn't even realise it until the last minute, when she was so close to death. Know what I mean?
 
I agree. FAith had alot mor fight in her on the rooftop but I think she gave up on the inside. She let BUffy stab her in my opinion. Then she jumps off the building, one so Angel can feed off Buffy and maybe in hopes that she wouldnt survive.


And with the FAith not expecting to get stabbed,...maybe but we all know when it comes to Angel, Buffy will basically almost do anything
 
Here's how the transcript reads:

Buffy: What's the matter? All that killing, you afraid to die?
Faith spins Buffy so she can get the leverage to use her legs and manages to snap the handcuff chain. They face off. Faith holds a length of pipe. Buffy pulls out Faith's knife.
Faith: That's mine.
Buffy: You're about to get it back.
They exchange blows, Faith dodging the knife. They move to the edge of the terrace and Faith holds Buffy at the edge.
Faith: Man, I'm going to miss this.
Buffy breaks Faith's grip and plunges the knife into Faith's abdomen. Both of them looked stunned for a moment.
Faith: You did it.

I don't think Faith was giving up, she'd just had Buffy nearly over the edge of the building. She'd nearly won the fight. She wasn't welcoming her death. She was surprised when the knife hit her. you can see it on her face. So, no, I don't think she hesitated 🙂
 
Faith had been rethinking her loyalties for the last few episodes before Graduation Day Pt. 1 she just chose the darker path and realized what that impact was going to be for her in the end when Buffy knifed her at the end of the episode. I think she realized it more so in Graduation Day Pt. 2. She knew she was guilty, knew the darkness of the grave she dug herself, and that she wasn't getting out and I think the last fight with Buffy made it hit home in her mind.... but I don't think it was hesitation, more of realization of "Well I screwed up big time." kind of deal.
 
I think that Faith wanted Buffy to end the whole sage and I don't think she really cared how, but I think that B stabbing her was a def shock to Faith.

Faith always saw B as the righteous shining light of the slayer line and wanted to be saved, and finally realized that Buffy had given up on her, so she threw herself off the roof as a final act of rebellion, as if to say, you gave up on me, well for that your honey dies.

I also think Buffy was wrong to try and kill Faith, Buffy has always blabbered on about how (and she even preached this to Faith) that being a slayer isn't the same as being a killer, and then the second Angel needs the blood of a slayer, off B trots to kill Faith but its ok because Angel needs it and Faith is 'bad'.
