Awww, Buffy is a little jealous that Dawn gets the most attention. And Joyce, how come you never had names for Buffy? There are five years between them, I'm sure you had cute names for Buffy before Dawn arrived. I don't know, I thought the writers were too concerned with having Buffy jealous and hurt that they didn't care how Joyce sounded. I hate when they do that, turn everybody into jerks so we can sympathize with Buffy. Please.
Buffy finds Giles standing in the middle of the Magic Box, dressed in a spangled purple robe and a warlock's hat. Isn't Giles the cutest man or what? Seriously, he beats both Spike and Xander in the cutest department in this episode.
"You can't patrol, Buffy said. She also said you look cuter when you're all weak and kitteny and she'd better go solo or you'll get hurt." Uh oh. Dawn's tongue needs to be cut. So I guess Buffy came to the conclusion that she prefers to patrol alone this season, seeing how she usually had her friends patrolling with her from S2 to S4, keeping her company. Poor Riley, that's not something a man (also a woman) likes to hear. No wonder he'll start acting stupid soon.
Willow said the Snyder word describing Dawn. Dawn is a big spaz.
Watching this episode made me think: What did Anya do for a living? How was she able to afford her apartment? How did she afford the car she used to run away in S3? I guess we could say that she used to live off Xander (Poor Xander!) but it doesn't explain how she used run her life before Xander was part of it.
Anya has lousy social skills, she needs Xander's lectures like a human needs air. I love when Xander uses sarcasm to lecture Anya, I love when he uses sarcasm. Period. It's much funnier than when he gets goofy and stupid.
Anya wraps up a woman's purchase and hands it to her.
ANYA: (to woman) Please go.
The woman walks away, shaking her head.
XANDER: Anya, the Shopkeeper's Union of America called. They wanted me to tell you that "please go" just got replaced with "have a nice day".
ANYA: But I have their money. Who cares what kind of day they have?
XANDER: No one. It's just a long cultural tradition of raging insincerity. Embrace it.
Anya calls out to her customer.
ANYA: Hey, you! Have a nice day.
XANDER: There's my girl!
Anya grins with pride.
Aw, Xander and Anya are so adorable sometimes!!!
"Does this look right to you?" "Sure if you wrapped it with your feet." Hee, Willow and Anya are the female Spander. Except gentler.
I love when Anya gives advices, I wonder why the Scoobies don't ask her often. Asking Anya makes more sense than just heading to Spike every time they needed info. I guess the writers just needed an excuse for Buffy to need Spike's knowledge.
Buffy's attempt to make Riley feel useful is adorable. I loved his advice "instead of you taking care of me, why don't we take care of each other." Wish all couples use this advice.
Man, Dawn is so clingy. Kid, you're 14, go to your 14 year old friends! Well, seeing how her mother still gets her babysitters, no wonder Dawn still acts younger than her real age.
I actually felt shudders through my spine when Buffy said, "You're not my sister." And felt so bad for Dawn. I wish I watched this episode when it first aired, I'd have probably thought that Dawn was a ghost of a demon, because they're setting it up like that.
And there starts the Spike Stalker Show. Taking after his grandsire, isn't he? 😉 Now what is it with Buffy saying "William" here, hints of Spuffy? Spike is acting like a six year old with a crush, an adorable six year old with a crush. Now I'm rethinking who's gonna win the cutest award of the episode.
The last scene between Buffy and Dawn brought tears to my eyes. I feel sad they grew apart in S8, hope Joss fixes that.
