Apparently in Sunnydale, when a girl commits suicide in one of your spare bedrooms, its perfectly acceptable to order your younger sister to cut her down and then you bury her in your backyard without any legal ramifications whatsoever.

I think the idea that she would be so much the demon scared her. It is not something she has ever wanted. That alone made it character-consistent to me.

I liked the episode, things happened, it moved along the plot, Spike beat off a demon then grew a pair. What more can you ask for?

At least that's what I think Jlbkwrm meant. Correct me if I'm wrong.

First and foremost, KENNEDY MUST DIE!!!! She is so annoying, who does she think she is calling the other girls 'maggot' and telling Buffy she is out of line. She is sooooo annoying. Die Kennedy DIE!!!
phew, it feels good to rant.
AS far as the episode, It was OK not great. Im not too thrilled about the Demon raping the slayer bit, it kind of kills the mystery of the slayer. It just seems wrong.....

I dont mind Buffys speeches. I think its a way of saying shes gotten pass the dulldrums of not knowing what she wants in Season Six. Shes taking charge, one of the reasons Giles decided to leave, so she would take charge of her life and quit depending on him.
As far as refusing the power, I dont think she wanted to be part demon and who can blame her but they're in a heap of trouble with all those Uber Vamps wanting to come up.
Again, Andrew has some great lines and hes winning me over. Hated him and the Nerds of Doom last season.
I agree about Kennedy and her behavior. What right even if she was trying to take charge, did she have in calling that girl a maggot?
I also agree with the other post that said, why on earth did they bury her in the backyard?

I am joining the kill Kennedy bandwagon. She needs to get her @$$ kicked by Buffy and then decide who is the most powerful. We all know now what happened to the disappearing Chloe. This must be one of the episodes that ASH wasn't signed on to do. He doesn't like to work full-time anymore.

I saw the Kennedy 'maggot' thing as a reference to 'Full Metal Jacket' - esp. because the same girl later kills herself.
I thought the demon that came through was a bit like the Uruk-hai (sp?) with the white markings, so the ending was appropriate.
The plot is moving along and the characters remain interesting, thats all I ask.

I didn't get the impression that Chloe and Annabelle were buried in the back yard. I'll have to watch again, but it looked like somewhere in the forest. All trees and no house. And she just carried the shovel back with her.

I agree with the rest who do not like Kennedy. I don't like it for two reasons...the first is that I feel they are trying to force this relationship with Kennedy and Willow, because what Willow and Tara had before was great (as in storyline). And then I also don't like it that this chick can just come and and try to take control of a group that has been through so much together and people just except it.
I do wonder though if The First is going to kill Kennedy and that is going to make Willow go bad again, and then her a long with Buffy take on and defeat the first.

At least that's what I think Jlbkwrm meant. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I wonder if this would also allow Spike to end up killing Wood...

I just watched it. I thought it was pretty good. It had some of the funniest writing in a while for the show. The Anya and Spike scene was funny. The whole exchnge between Andrew, Buffy, and Wood was hilarious. Xander even had some good lines again. "When instructions get cryptic someone gets hurt...usually me"
I was happy to see Kennedy was able to see Willow with magic. She's been pushing Willow really hard to use it and maybe now will rethink it since Kennedy looked shaken up with what Willow did to her.
Next weels episode looks great.
