Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMarking the Bronze's sendoff, the band playing is Nerf Herder, the same band that performs the show's theme song.
- GoofsWhen Anya briefs the potentials on the Turok-Han 'ubervamps', she says "Holy water seems to run off these guys like they've been scotch guarded". However, in an earlier show of the series, Buffy used a bottle of Holy water against the first Turok-Han she fights, and his face got burned like a regular vampire's.
- Quotes
Andrew Wells: I-I bet even covert operatives eat curly fries. They're really good.
Spike: Not as good as those onion blossom things.
Andrew Wells: Ooh, I love those.
Spike: Yeah, me too.
Andrew Wells: It's an onion and it's a flower. I-I don't understand how such a thing is possible.
Spike: Oh, see, the genius of it is, you soak it in ice water for an hour so it holds its shape. Then you deep-fry it, root-side up, for about five minutes.
Andrew Wells: Masterful.
Spike: Yeah. Tell anyone we had this conversation, I'll bite you.
Andrew Wells: Right.

In this episode, we are Buffy. We hurt, and we're so tired that we give up at the end.
Joss makes us realize that sometimes, during dark times, the people you care about just might not be there for you. That things can indeed, get worse.
Of course, they also had to end the episode with Buffy so despondent because then in the next episode Spike can swoop in and be the big hero, thus again further developing the "new" relationship between Buffy and Spike.
Well done. I hated this episode with every fibre of my being, while realizing just how good it was in it's intent to make me feel this way. (Does that even make any sense?)
