Loved your reaction as always Dodo. I think when Anya was talking to the Scoobies it might've been superficially about getting them to make wishes, but there was a deeper need... Most of the people we see in Anya's life are primarily Xander's friends. She's trying to seek out reassurances that she's not alone, that they stand with her. Even though Xander hasn't. The only people other than the Scoobies we see in her life regularly are Halfrek and D'Hoffryn, so it's not that surprising that in this moment where she felt totally abandoned she turned back to vengance. I think Anya is often treated a little too comically, and hasn't really faced any real accountability. She's chosen to become a demon and enact vengance spells twice now, probably has a body count higher than Angel and Spike combined over her 1100 or whatever years- and I feel like her victim-blaming of Dawn in the episode with Halfrek shows she never really understood that any of it was wrong. Hence making the decision to become a vengeance demon again after Xander's abandonment. Anyway, Xander's judgement of Anya here is unbelievably fucked up. I just yell 'not everything's about you, buddy!' at him in my head in this scene. You're right, Dodo, this was supposed to be a private moment, about how Anya felt and what she needed in this moment. Not anything to do with making Xander feel any way at all. But Xander in this moment sees nothing but this 'tainting' of what's his, Anya and Buffy as 'his women' on some level. He can't see them as full human beings, whose needs he takes seriously in their own right, only sees them in relationship to him. Ugh. Yay to that ending with Willow and Tara! 😍😍😍

See Dodo I wasn't lying, that bit at the end With Tillow was definitely rainbows and Unicorns 😍

It's so interesting to see your expressions. We can almost see the wheels turning before something happens. It's definitely a heavy season but it's endings like this one that make things almost all better!
