Buffy is out patrolling when she runs into a demon with a sword and becomes trapped within when pierced. Halfrick a vengeance demon for children grants Dawn's wish to keep every trapped inside with the demon. I like this episode as Dawn's abandonment issues take full frontal in showing how ignored and neglected she's become since Joyce died. Her pain so loud a demon could hear all over the city and forced to act as it broke her heart. Its even alluded to when giving gifts she gives her a nice leather jacket 51st over looked once a new wooden chest to keep weapons locked in is brought out. I'm glad Buffy was able to learn the lesson by deciding to stay inside with her instead of going out with everyone else.
Another aspect I enjoyed was Tara keeping watch over her friend to keep Spike away by directing her toward another guy or breaking up a wooing attempt. Still I notice Buffy hasn't revoked his privileges to her house instead of having a babysitter to keep her aware she doesn't need him to feel alive.
