Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

"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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

A woman buys stolen Jack Kirby artwork from Avengers #1.

At a garage sale for $2.00.

Which she then gives to her daughter to color.
