Love this episode, has almost everything I look for in a classic Buffy episode. Good plot, excellent acting and some of the greatest and funniest lines in S3. Some parts were absolutely hillarious and this was arguably one of JM's finest episodes.
But oh, what a sick bastard Joss Whedon is. That scene where it cuts from Cordelia saying "Xander? I can't see you....." after she fell through the stairs to the funeral scene. I remember watching that first-run and my eyes nearly bugging out of my head 'cause I thought they killed off Cordelia. LOL
