Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It is very definitely Faith strangling Buffy under water. As Jilli notes, that's a Faith outfit.

Plus, Buffy has a history of being drowned .

And a history of Faith trying to kill her. Though I thought they were past all that at this point. Wonder if it's real or a dream/fantasy (or that's not really one or the other of them).

I suspect she's another slayer. One we meet at the beginning of this particular arc.

I found the first cover more recognizable for Buffy and Faith. It could be because the same artist has done her enough I recognize the style. I didn't like the Faith on the second cover at all.
