It's Buffy's world, we just live in it And now, the end is near; and so we face the final curtain. My friends, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. Buffy's lived a life that's full; she's traveled each and ev'ry highway. But more, much more than this, she did it her way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, when Buffy bit off more than she could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, she ate it up and spit it out. She faced it all and she stood tall, and did it her way. |

Secrets And Lies
Family - Tara's "secret" comes out: She's a closet Republican and voted for Bush. Wait. That's not it. Actually, she's a demon. But that's an easy mistake to make. Tara's family arrives to drag her back to Bass Ackwards, Idaho against her will. Everything works out in the end when Spike proves Tara is 100-percent human. Tara is adopted into the Scooby Gang and tells her family to take a hike, and Tara and Willow share a floaty dance at Tara's birthday party. Blech. Does anyone know how to get extreme loads of sap out of the carpet? |

The Shady In Red

In other news, an Old-World monk comes to town, trailed by a hot blonde in a red dress. Somebody send a memo to Darla to move over, 'cos there's a new sheriff in town -- the Abimbonation. |

A New Man - Does Buffy still have a class taught by Professor Walsh, or is her admiration carrying over from last semester? I was excusing Buffy and Riley dating based on the assumption that he's no longer her TA, but it looks like I could be mistaken. Bad Riley! Bad! |
