####### EPISODE SPOILER REVIEW BELOW! APPARENTLY SOME OF YOU ARE WATCHING FOR THE FIRST TIME ALONG SIDE ME, SO PLEASE DON'T READ BEYOND THIS POINT UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN THE EPISODE YOURSELF! ######

------

Your Time is Up! Her Time is Now! You Can't See Her! Buff's Time is Now!

This was so good. After giving Willow an ear full last episode, it is now time for me to have a go at Buffy! XD It is clear there is more going on than meets the ironic eye, but FOCUS ON DAWN! XD

Willow's redemption has started, and she is awesome here! It is going to be a long road, but she has made a great first step!

Doris did nothing wrong...

Hope you guys are having a great week!

As always, if you click the video just after this post, you may need to  download it first.  This should be fixed in a couple of hours!

Oh Wow, I don't think I have ever seen anyone take Doris' side before! Hahahahah :)

Haha, I should clarify - I DON'T want her to take Dawn away, but from what she was seeing, she was right to be concerned! XD

#5 (I think?) - there's a double standard here. Buffy grabs Spike's spike after he says no several times. But it's not assault, it's a comedy moment? Go figure. Otherwise, one of my favourites.

Doris was doing her job. In fact, social services likely would have already been following them and giving them access to resources due to Joyce dying. Skipping lots of school is one of the quickest ways to get an investigation opened. For me, the investigations didn't get threatened until I missed three weeks straight, not just intermittent days, but I grew up in a poor area where people had bigger concerns than that.

I've seen others take Doris' side, or at least say that Buffy needs to do better for Dawn, and I totally agree.

Thank you for pointing this out. I wish more people were as willing to call Buffy out for her treatment of Spike as they are to call Spike out for his treatment of Buffy. Neither one of them respects the other's boundaries.

Yes Dawn almost died but Buffy was torn down from heaven and is now in a living hell. What’s she’s going through was clearly stated in «Once more with feeling ». She deserves some grace as well.

Having a go at Buffy this episode is completely fair imo. Her actions are very understandable given what she's been through, but that doesn't mean what she does in this episode is acceptable. There's her not paying attention to Dawn's needs (i.e. not knowing when her appointment with CPS was and not caring why Dawn was sneaking into the house), there's her gaslighting Doris (which could have had much worse consequences that it did), and there's her assaulting Spike (I admit this one doesn't bother me that much because Spike has done it to her too and he's probably done much worse to his countless victims as well). The important part is that she seems to be trying to better herself, which I imagine is very difficult for someone in her position.

This episode is so silly, but it pokes at so many important plot lines. I freaking love it! I love that we see the struggles of recovery with Willow (and to some extant Buffy). So many other shows would have had the character have the revelation that what they were doing is wrong and they need help - and then the next episode they're just fine... Buffy is being a bit of an ass this episode, which is kinda understandable with what she's been going through. But at the end of the episode she at least starts to understand that she doesn't live in a vacuum and her actions have repercussions on those around her - mainly Dawn, who understandibly REALLY struggles. Buffy is her legal caretaker and she really needs to start paying attention to her. Doris is so right to want to take actions. Yes, Dawn is surrounded by people who love her. But she is not in an environment where people take care of her. As much as it hurts, love isn't always enough! But mostly I love that we focused on the trio. They are so lame and pathetic, and I love that for the "big bad" of the season. Especially after Gloria. I would wager that the actual big bad right now is life! The repercussion of all the shit these characters have gone through. This is the season where they fall, badly, and I love that choice from the show runners. Most shows (or movie franchises) feel the need to one up each baddy. It always needs to go bigger and badder and more epic... but Buffy decided to tone it down, give them a pathetic baddy for the series, and focus on the characters instead!!!
