Man, another Tara-less episode... But apparently we get Dawn background?
Small, tiny, blonde teenager beating the crap out of big biker dude. I love this so much.
“So neither’s of you’s pregnant, failing, or under indictment? Just checking.”
Uh, no, do be! DO be! Also, Dawn is precious and tiny and Buffy feels second best. Ooh, and shop grand opening! Joyce is leaving Buffy out. And Buffy is being all responsible and grown-up. And she’s so so worried about her mom.
Oh my goodness, Giles looks too cute in that wizard outfit!
“Involuntary empathy for Dawn”. Is that related? And Willow is so adorable trying to protect Dawn. And Dawn being introduced provides a really interesting catalyst to make Buffy grow up. And Buffy’s doing so well at it.
