Principal Hottie – It is about time Buffy checked what he was up to with the shovel.

They didn't really explain the bloody knife, either. I think there's more going on with him that's yet to be explained.

I was kind of hoping that Buffy would pick up on the Spike connection before he did and have to grapple with what to tell and how. Except that it might lead to Three's Company-esque hiding behind the couch and stuff, so maybe it's just as well.

He could've just run into a random evil red-blooded demon. I don't need an explanation for it.

Yeah, I can live with that. But it does make me wonder if he's not telling everything.

Here's a small but important bit that slipped last night: earlier, First!Jonathna sais he was one with light and hope. Last night, First!Jonathan said he was in a place of pain and torment (or some such.) What this means is that the First can and does lie.

Well, Evil you know.

Does anyone here know if Anya is living with Buffy? And Xander? I am confused!

It looked that way in this ep, which I hadn't thought was the case before now. It's kind of strange if she is.

Edit - looked like Anya was living there, I mean. Not Xander.

Ii think everyone is staying there in order to help protect the SIT from the Bringers. They're in siege mentality and have circled the wagons...

Except they're all going on dates and stuff. Giles was right about that.

Yeah, I liked Giles kicking them in the proverbial pants.
