[edit] Plot Overview

[edit] Notes

[edit] Monster of the Week

This episode continues the plot begun in the last episode and touches on why Buffy and Faith switched bodies. According to Willow, the device Faith used must have instigated a Draconian Katra spell. The only way to reverse the change was to use a Katra conjured by her and Tara and clasping hands to return their "souls" (for lack of a better word) to their original bodies.

[edit] Music

• "Vivian" by Nerf Herder: The song that plays while "Buffy" is dancing at The Bronze is "Vivian" by Nerf Herder. Nerf Herder, in the context of the show, is most well known for writing and performing the opening theme song. The song is the first off their second album, How to Meet Girls.

[edit] Happenings

• Watchers Council: Introduced in the last episode, the trio representing the Watchers Council is a special ops unit that handles the council's under the table work. To name a few, Giles mentions interrogations, smuggling and "wetwork" (which Anya points out is a euphemism for murder). When the Council is unable to grant them safe passage to England, they knowingly sanction her killing.

• Big Bad: Adam recruits a pack of vampires when he sees himself in their predicament of being demons in human bodies, unable to live comfortably in either world. He declared that because they have fear of death, yet are immortal, they are a paradox. He sends them into their most feared place, during the daylight, as a message to the world but are all killed.

[edit] Characters

• Willow and Tara: Faith, in Buffy's body, becomes the first person to realize that Willow and Tara are in a romantic relationship when she states bluntly that "Willow's not driving stick anymore." She's one of two characters who figure it out on their own, with the other being Spike.

• Tara: After sabotaging two spells purposefully in the past, Tara shows a real knowledge about magic that is different from Willow's.

[edit] Referbacks

• 3x15 - Consequences: Wesley tried to capture Faith and deport her to England where she was to stand trial before the Watcher's Council after she accidentally killed the deputy mayor. She easily broke free from his captivity and turned almost immediately to the Mayor's side.

"Buffy": Well yeah, because it worked so well when Wesley tried it.

• 1x06 - The Pack: While on a field trip to the zoo, a hyena spirit possessed a group of bullies and Xander. They picked on the weaker students, like Jonathan, and the bullies (minus Xander) killed and ate the principal of the school.

Willow: You didn't sense a hyena energy, did you?

[edit] Trivia

[edit] The Show

• Crossover: Faith's escape from Sunnydale is continued in the Angel episode Five by Five when she goes to Los Angeles looking for help. The story arc concludes in the episode which follows that, Sanctuary.
