Anecdotally, when Willow says, "have you tried googling her?" that was the first use of the word Google as a verb. Which also lends itself to Xander being clueless to what she meant by it.

Cassie talking about all the things she wants to do is very reminiscent of Buffy finding out she was destined to "die" in season 1.

Well, you got your wish. They killed Cassie. You monster. I love this episode. Azura Skye - Cassie - does a great job. And I love the message. "What do you do when you know that maybe, you can't help?" Nobody answers, but the episode _shows_ Buffy's answer. She goes to work again the next day, and tries to help anyway. That's all any of us can do.

I think in this episode, while Buffy can't save Cassie from dying, she *does* save her from dying in a very scary and painful way, suffering alone while a bunch of guys laughed as she died. Instead, Cassie got to experience someone trying to do everything to save her, and even though she still died, it was quick and she wasn't afraid or alone. I really like Azura Skye's performance here - you don't see her in a lot of stuff, but she's great.

I really liked Cassie and I was bummed to see her go; I would have liked to see her continue as a friend for Dawn. Also this episode always makes my head and heart hurt - it is an important lesson that you can't always win but also what really killed Cassie is such a case of 'did the chicken come first or the egg?' Did Cassie die because of her heart condition? Or was her heart condition aggravated by the heightened adrenaline and terror she experienced before she died (i.e. the evil boys were responsible for her death? But if she had never had the vision, would she have died anyway or would she have lived because she would have never become morose and gave off 'suicidal death girl vibes' which made her a target in the first place, & her heart condition wouldn't have been triggered at that time? So was she cursed with the vision to make sure she died - as in a self fulfilling prophecy? AARGH SO MANY QUESTIONS!

I liked your observation about the difference between Spike enduring the pain of his chip before he had a soul vs now, but one thing I noticed recently is that his chip hurts him noticeably less once he has a soul. We know that the chip hurts him based on the intent to cause harm, and before he had a soul his lust for causing pain was so high it would regularly fire off before he even got a chance to take a swing at someone. Now that he's got a soul, however, he can be actively punching someone and he only has momentary pauses of minor pain instead of the debilitating agony he used to have. It shows that, even when he's punching a murderous douche, his intent to harm just isn't that high anymore. Just something I only recently noticed, and I think it's some nice attention to detail on the showrunner's part. Great reaction, as always! Thanks for sharing :)

Wrong mollusc Buffy! “Blue Clam Cult” was a reference to Blue Öyster Cult. Perhaps the scriptwriters thought their big hit (Don’t Fear) The Reaper was relevant to this episode.

i find the stuff about the psychics really interesting! it makes sense that they'd exist in a world like this but i wish it was explained more. i would think maybe it's just about being born on the hellmouth or living there for a long time, but then what about drusilla? she had visions of the future all the way in europe, and before becoming a vampire. i wonder if it's just a thing some people are born with, like buffy or faith or kendra who were chosen at birth even though they weren't activated until later.

Lol omg, when you're like, "Oh this is kinda mean, but I hope she dies. Like I just think that would be interesting story-wise--" my brain was immediately a gif of demon Anya in "The Wish" dramatically turning around and saying "DONE."

i think the reason the chip doesn’t hurt spike as much anymore isn’t because the pain of the chip has lessened but because the pain of the soul is so bad that the chip is negligible in comparison. also definitely rewatch the “she’ll tell you” scene again after you’ve finished the season!!! also also watching you get so confused at willow having to clarify that google was a search engine is so funny i love how we all forget that this season was released in TWO THOUSAND AND THREE!!! the show literally ended 20 years ago, that’s so wild.

The photo that the guys burn prior to the sacrifice is actually that of Rebecca Rand Kirchner, who wrote this episode. Coincidentally, judging from the dvd's special feature regarding this episode, she looked quite a bit like an older version of Cassie actress Azura Skye.

I really enjoyed this, I guess no matter how hard you try you can't outrun death . Cassie was super cool
