I forgot how worried Alley was that Riley might die. If only this season’s big death was Riley. And I’m someone who respects Riley’s arc. I know we hashed this stuff out during the full length reaction, but you know hindsight. Now that we’ve seen the entire season it’s my interpretation that Riley doesn’t actually love Buffy, he loves the idea of Buffy, but the actual person who is Buffy Anne Summers is not enough for him (that is part of his arc; being unfulfilled, which is why he would eventually return to a place where he was previously content before he met Buffy). Whereas Buffy, at this point in time unaware, would actually come to view herself as being incapable of showing love, though she is satisfied with Riley and their relationship. To me that means she loves him, but it is also part of her arc; coming to understand her capacity to love and finding strength in allowing herself to be emotionally vulnerable.

One more thing… Interestingly, Alley began this episode by saying how the previous episode “The Replacement” didn’t really have much happening in terms of forwarding the plot. I wonder if, now that she’s seen the entire season, her opinion of the episode’s necessity has changed. (And obviously there’s no way anyone would pick up on its importance on a first viewing without seeing where the rest of the arc was headed). It essentially set up, or prefigured, the season conflict of Slayer Buffy vs. Buffy Buffy with Toth’s original goal being to split Buffy in two. While the episode itself split Xander in two and wackiness ensued, over the course of the season we got to see Toth’s original idea played out by way of Glory (Slayer Buffy or “Slayer concentrate, pretty unkillable”) and Dawn (Buffy Buffy or the “one with all the qualities inherent in Buffy Summers” i.e. “the weaker Buffy half”). Anyway, great edit as usual.

I think that Riley loves Buffy, but he became too dependent of her. After losing his family (the Iniciative), his friends, his mother figure, his job and even his mission in life... now the only thing in Riley's life is Buffy. She is the only thing he has... so he demands the same amount of attention from Buffy: he wants to be the only thing in her life too... But, of course, she can't gave him that. She has a lot of things in her life: friends, family, studies and slaying...... and he feels that as pushing him away or not totally loving him, which is clearly unfair and wrong, but understandable.
