The "I" In "Team"

S04E13

Previously on Buffy: Buffy's the Slayer, Spike can't hurt humans but can hurt demons, Willow and Tara hold hands a bunch, Riley leers at Buffy.

We start with a close-up of Willow, who is imploring "Neisa, blessed goddess of chance and fortune" to "send [her] the heart [she] desire[s]" as Anya looks on intently. The camera pulls back and we see that Willow, Anya, and Xander are playing cards in the Basement of Debasement. Xander tells Willow that using magic during a poker game is cheating, but Willow insists that she was just praying. Only forty seconds into the episode and we've already racked up two serious crimes against good taste: Willow's puka shell necklace and the one-hundred-percent polyester, robin's-egg-blue shirt Xander is wearing. Only Anya seems to have escaped the wrath of the costume department, but I'm sure she'll get hers later. Xander looks very muscly, in a yucky cartoon way, in his two-sizes-too-small shirt. Anya asks for five cards but Xander patiently explains that "four's the max and only if you have an ace." Shout-out to my recapping partner? ["If only!" -- Ace] Anya tries to bluff her way into getting four cards, but Xander calls her on it and gives her three. Anya bitches about the fact that they're only playing for little plastic discs, and Xander bemoans his lack of money, but he claims that all that will change once his "merchandise hits the street." Xander explains that he's going to be selling "Boost Bars," which are nutritional health bars. He offers one to Willow, who declines because she finds that power bars usually leave a "bad after-tastelessness." Anya interrupts this conversation to say, "C'mon, somebody bet already. I've got three ‘K’ cards." Willow and Xander fold and Anya collects her chips. Xander wishes Buffy could have been there, Willow says, "You know how it is with a spanking new boyfriend," and Anya smugly replies, "Yes, we've enjoyed spanking." Xander fumbles the deck of cards. Ho ho. Yawn. Willow looks amused rather than disgusted, and Xander says that although he thinks Riley is all right "in an oafish kind of a way," he has doubts about the Initiative. Willow ventures that the commandos are good guys and "anti-demon." She notices Anya's glare and reassures her that the Initiative probably has no problem with ex-demons. Anya says, "Maybe. I choose to feel threatened." Good for her. Xander wonders what the commandos are up to.

Out in the dark woods, the masked commandos seem to be stalking something through the woods. That something turns out to be Buffy, and I'm excited because recapping fight scenes always goes quickly. Buffy, clad in a black watch cap, poofy silver jacket, and baggy pants, kicks commando butt and takes down four guys in a few seconds. She uses one of the commandos as a shield against a taser blast, and as she squares off with a guy I can tell is Riley by his little piggy eyes, Dr. Walsh calls, "Lights!" A Humvee behind them turns on its headlights, and Walsh approaches Buffy to say in an accusatory tone of voice, "It took the patrol team forty-two minutes to track you, and you neutralized them in twenty-eight seconds." Buffy claims it was just luck, but Walsh, who looks really pissed, is not convinced. She leaves, and Riley grins proudly at Buffy as Graham and Forrest limp by. Graham compliments Buffy, but Forrest looks disgusted and blows her a little raspberry. Riley cuddles Buffy as Walsh looks on. Walsh is either incredibly worried about Buffy's rogue strength, or about her relationship with old Potato Nose, or both.

Daytime. Some cafeteria at UC Sunnydale. Willow and Buffy are drinking coffee while Buffy brags her ass off about her adventures with Walsh and the Potato Brigade the night before. She asks Willow how her night was, and Willow, a little resentfully, says it was "light on the action-packed." She goes on to say that she hopes Buffy won't find tonight's plans too boring. Buffy looks blank for a moment, and when Willow gets worried, Buffy reassures her that she will indeed meet the gang at the Bronze and that she has missed them recently. Willow says she understands Buffy has been busy with the Initiative, which Willow doesn't look too pleased about, and with Riley, which seems more palatable to her. Buffy gets a distracted look and explains that Riley just entered the cafeteria. Buff decides to not say hi, but to just gaze upon him, and asks Willow again about her night. Willow describes the poker game with Anya and Xander; Buffy distractedly murmurs, "That sounds like fun." When Willow protests, Buffy seems to be about to tell her to get used to Anya when she interrupts herself, "A Twinkie? That's his lunch? Oh, he is so gonna be punished." Willows busts into a full-time pity party and grouses, "Everyone's getting spanked but me."

Establishing shot of one of Sunnydale's many cemeteries. We see the inside of a mausoleum. Giles enters and Spike, napping on a stone bench, wakes up and crankily bosses Giles to wipe his feet. Giles snidely refers to the muddy nature of Spike's abode, and Spike admits the place needs a woman's touch. He then asks Giles if he'd "care to have a crack at it." Giles doesn't take the bait and reluctantly tells Spike that he owes him a "debt of gratitude" for helping during his unfortunate transformation into a mucous hurling demon. Spike doesn't care much about the gratitude; he just wants the money Giles promised him. Giles hands him a wad of bills, which Spike laboriously attempts to count. As he shuffles the bills, Giles inspects carvings on a tomb and nonchalantly tries to hand Spike a line about Spike's ability to fight demons having a "higher purpose." I think you're getting our delicious bad boy mixed up with old mopey Angel, Giles. Spike is frustrated because Giles messed up his counting and snaps he "want[s] nothing to do" with Giles and the gang. Giles notes that if Spike stays in Sunnydale it might be hard to avoid them, but Spike just demands that he get out. As Giles leaves, Spike calls after him, "And I don't want you crawling back here, knocking on my door, pleading for help the second Teen Witch's magic goes all wonky or little Xander cuts a new tooth." Giles flings the door open, gives Spike a snarly half-smile, and leaves.

Oh gack. Buffy looks adoringly up at her slab o' Riley as he whispers, "We don't have to do this." We get more innuendo conversation about Buffy being ready to do whatever it is. Also, we get the same shot of Riley, from right below his head, that Ace asked never to see again in her last recap. I can see why she got upset. Anyway, it turns out that Buffy and Riley weren't talking about doing "it," but rather about Buffy visiting the Initiative's installation. They take the secret elevator down and exit holding hands. At this point, I notice that Buffy's ugly patchwork skirt in brown and umber is matched to Riley's umber shirt. I concentrate on this strange observation in a lame attempt to distract myself from the wretched dialogue that follows. Riley leads Buffy up to a railing from which she can observe the underground goings-on, and Buffy launches into a whole string of single-entendres starting with, "You said it was big. You told me, but you never said it was huge." And, dear reader, I'm sure you're savvy enough to fill in the "humor" that follows. I guess big white things get Buffy all hot because she leans in for a smooch. At that moment, Professor Hardass interrupts and I sigh with relief. She hands Buffy a visitor's pass and some reading material. When Buffy say she thought she'd seen the end of homework from Dr. Walsh, the Prof jokes that Buffy has to read the information inside the Initiative compound and eat it when she's done. Recently, I'm thinking that this show has begun to eat it. Walsh escorts Buffy around and informs her that the Initiative imaginatively calls the big tin-foil-lined pit "The Pit:" Who wrote this scene? Oh, how I wish they would just cancel that monstrous talent-suck known as Angel. In "The Pit," doctors are working on two big demons that Riley says were tough to take down. Walsh introduces Dr. Angleman, who is apparently a "leader in the field of xenomorphic behavior modification." Buffy's ears perk up at that and she almost slips up by mentioning Spike, but covers by saying she saw a nature documentary about such things. Walsh shows her the armory, but Buffy is distracted by a small headset, which Riley explains is a "com-cam," a device that provides a video and audio link to headquarters and monitors the heartbeat of the person wearing it. Will this boring scene never end? Buffy looks chagrined for playing with such expensive equipment and makes an "I'm sorry" face at Riley. Buffy inquires about the big door that leads to room 314, but Walsh distracts her by giving her a keycard and an Initiative beeper.

Excuse me, please, I'm going to have a bowl of ice cream in celebration of that tiresome scene finally ending.

I'm back! Willow, wearing a fuzzy lavender cardigan, is admiring a large purple crystal that Tara is holding. Tara, in an enormously baggy blue hoodie decorated with stars, explains that she found the crystal in her attic a long time ago and then shyly offers it to Willow as a gift. Willow declines because the crystal is "like a family heirloom," leaving Tara looking crushed. Willow then suggests that perhaps they could cast some spells with the crystal sometime, and Tara ventures that perhaps tonight would be a good time. Willow crushes her again by explaining that she already has plans; Tara stutteringly says she understands. Willow seems flustered and sticks her foot in her mouth by explaining she can't invite Tara along because it's a "specific crowd. You might feel out of place." Good intentions, Willow, but poor execution. Tara packs up and leaves, maybe because she noticed the horrible pink ruffled maxi-skirt Willow is wearing.

Back at the Initiative, Professor Hardass enters the dreaded room 314. Inside she finds Dr. Angleman, who asks her how the Slayer's tour went. Angleman tells her that Buffy is an "unnecessary risk," but Walsh seems more concerned with how "our baby is doing today." She leans over "Adam," who appears to be some sort of huge, buff, human-demon hybrid. Walsh coos that it's almost time for Adam to awaken, then tells him, "I know you're going to make me proud." Remind me -- this show used to not suck, right?

At the Bronze, Willow sits at a table with Anya and checks her watch. Xander approaches, munching one of his Boost bars and wearing a sweatshirt sporting a snazzy Captain America logo. Anya bitches that Xander hasn't been paying enough attention to her tonight, and Xander explains that he was trying to sell his Boost bars to make money so he can "take Anya nice places. Buy pretty things." Anya agrees with this logic and tells him to go sell more. Great 1950s gender role-playing there, guys. Very fresh humor, along with jokes about Commies, bomb shelters, and Edsels. Yawn. Anyway, Xander is ready to leave, but Willow demands that he stay because Buffy hasn't shown up yet. Xander notes that Buffy is almost an hour late and ventures flatly that she isn't coming. Willow insists that Buffy was planning on spending quality time with just the gang, and she perks up as she sees Buffy entering the Bronze, but her face quickly falls when she realizes that Buffy has brought along Riley and a bunch of his commando buddies. And my face falls when I see the droopy orange halter top Buffy has on, not to mention the bundles of rabbit-chewed twigs masquerading as a necklace. Buffy chirps a little apology for being late, and Willow tries to be nice but looks like she's about to cry. Riley introduces his coworkers and offers to buy the gang drinks. Buffy wants a Coke; the rest of the Scoobies decline and Anya abruptly stands up and says that she and Xander are going to dance elsewhere. Riley heads to the bar as Buffy perkily notes that Anya seemed a bit cranky. Willow explains Anya's ex-demon "issues" with the commandos, and Buffy jut says "oh" before she starts explaining that the Initiative guys threw her an "impromptu" celebration and she ended up having to invite them to the Bronze. Willow congratulates her on the celebrating, but reminds her that the gathering was supposed to be just the "Scooby core." She goes on to mention that, if she’d known the evening was going to be an "open free-for-all," she could have invited someone else herself. Buffy has the good grace to sound very chagrined as she apologizes, then inquires who else Willow wanted to invite. Willow gets all stuttery and lies that she didn't actually have anyone specific in mind. Willow knows Buffy's always happy to talk about herself, so she deflects the unwanted attention by asking what Buffy and the Initiative were celebrating. Buffy excitedly explains that she’s now "in" with the Initiative, but Willow pricks her bubble of social-acceptance bliss by inquiring what exactly that means. Buffy says she hasn't joined the commando group, but she will now have serious backup and a chance to work with her boyfriend. Willow (and I can't believe she's the only one who has talked to Buffy about this -- well, except for Giles last week, of course, but we all know he's not worth listening to) worries that Buffy is taking things too fast and that there's many things they don't actually know about the Initiative, like their ultimate agenda. She reminds Buffy of the 314 that Ethan told Giles about, and insists that "there's certain questions you should ask before you go off and enlist." At that moment, Buffy's pager goes off, and we see the commando dudes still at the bar (slow service at the Bronze, I guess) and their beepers are also, well, beeping. Spud-For-Brains Riley says, "That's us. Let's go," and the guys start to move out. ["How subtle. Not." -- Sars] Willow is alarmed that Buffy has a pager and wants to know what's going on. Riley approaches Buffy and says, "That's our cue. Mother wants us," and Buffy makes her apologies and leaves Willow sitting sadly alone.

Later, at Initiative headquarters, Walsh is briefing the troops in front of an overhead of a demon. As Walsh talks about the demon, the camera pans across the seated commandos, all manly and dressed in army green, and then we see Buffy sitting among them, still in her bright orange halter top. She's craning her head to get a better view of the screen. Walsh calls Dr. Angleman up front to continue the briefing, and he explains that the demon protects itself by extending pointed bone spurs out of its forearms; he also tells the troops not to damage the arms while capturing the target.. Buffy's hand shoots up and she questions the order not to damage the demon's arms. Walsh and Angleman exchange worried glances before blowing her off with a lame excuse about needing to study the demon. Almost before he's done talking, Buffy starts peppering him with more questions, asking exactly why the demon is in Sunnydale and explains that knowing the motivation of her target often helps her catch it. The commandos start giving her amused glances while Walsh begins to seethe. Angleman insists that the creature is "not sentient," and Walsh breaks in to say that it does have keen eyesight; then she gets in a little dig at Buffy by suggesting that she don camo gear. Buffy declines, saying she'd "look all Private Benjamin." The troops snigger, and Buffy just makes it worse by saying in her most professional voice, "I've patrolled in this halter many times." Walsh is very pissed and cuts Buffy off from asking any further questions. Riley then makes the team assignments, and apparently he makes Forrest a team leader and gives Forrest’s old place on Riley's team to Buffy. Forrest shoots Graham a glance; Walsh reminds then to capture the demon, not kill it, and asks if there are any questions. She then looks even more exasperated and again calls on Buffy.

Tara opens her dorm room door and is surprised to find Willow. Willow explains that her other plans fizzled, so she stopped by to see if Tara still wanted to do something. Tara grins widely and ushers Willow into her room.

Buffy, in a light-colored jacket, patrols with Riley and three other commandos. Buffy is worried that Walsh hates her now because of all her questions. Riley explains that it's not the way things are done in their organization, but mentions that Walsh liked Buffy even before he did. Buffy starts to think of a way to apologize to Walsh, but Riley interrupts her to ask if they can discuss it later, because they're on patrol and he needs all of his concentration since he doesn't have Slayer skills. Buffy agrees, but immediately demands to know at what point Riley didn't like her.

Elsewhere, Forrest, Graham, and three commandos lurk in the bushes. Graham appears to be doing his job, but Forrest is sulking because Riley didn't choose him for his team. He bitches about Riley choosing a girl over him for second-in-command of Alpha team. Graham tries to reassure him, but Forrest isn't having any of it. At that moment, they spot Hostile-17, better known as Spike, walking through the woods with a bag of groceries. They attack and Spike escapes, but not before Graham shoots him in the shoulder with some sort of weapon. Forrest tells Graham to alert Alpha team that they've "tagged Hostile-17 with a tracer and we're in pursuit."

Riley takes the call from Graham; as he tries to hear over the bad connection, he's attacked by the demon they are hunting. Buffy shouts out to him, and thus begins my nightmare. My skin crawls (and not in a good way) just thinking about it. The fight goes into slo-mo as Riley extends his baton (really, I mean his baton) and he and Buffy engage the target. Super-cheesy ambient music starts up that reminds me of the Tangerine Dream song that plays while Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay are having sex on the El in Risky Business. ["Thank god you said that. I thought the same thing -- when I wasn’t hurling." -- Sars] Buffy and Riley come together in a clinch in a room that is definitely not the dorm room we saw Riley in earlier in the season. In order to distract myself from the impending sex, I wonder if the dorm room is just a cover and this is Riley's real house. Or maybe the dorm room is Forrest's? La la la la. Buffy and crew fight the demon. Riley unlaces Buffy's halter top. More slo-mo demon fighting. What a ratings-grabbing combo of sex and violence. Riley removes Buffy's boot. Riley pounds the demon with his baton. Buffy "These Boots Were Made For Knocking" Summers removes Riley's shirt. Marc Blucas has a nice body -- I'll give him that -- but I didn't really want or need to see it in this context. The über-cheesy music intrusively drones on. Fighting. Chest kissing. Fighting. Ear kissing. Fighting. Finger sucking. Fighting. Riley lowers Buffy onto the bed and makes a guppy face at her. She kisses him anyway. Fighting. Buffy kicks the demon in the chest and Riley tasers it. Buffy on top of Riley as he makes an even guppier face. She kisses him anyway. The fight ends and Buffy and Riley look at each other lustily and Buffy asks what he wants to do now. "Screw" is obviously Riley's answer. Buffy and Riley do it on a bed rather obviously made up in red sheets. Hey, didn't Parker have red sheets too? Are they standard dorm issue? Buffy and Riley continue to do it on the Naughty Red Sheets Of Bad Sexual Choices. Suddenly we see the same picture on a small black-and-white video monitor. Riley's naked back moves over Buffy as her arms caress him. The monitor is located in a surveillance room with other monitors and piles of recording equipment. Dr. Walsh sits staring intently at the monitor and thinking, "Hot damn, this is better than The Red Shoe Diaries." She sips her coffee.

At the Lusty Librarian Lair, Xander is trying to pawn off one of his nutrition bars on Giles. He lists the flavors, and when he comes to "almond licorice" this prompts an "ew" from Anya, although to be fair she could just have been noticing Xander's hideously stripey shirt for the first time. Either way, to quote Spike, "Demon girl's got a point." Anya tells Xander to skip the sales pitch and just explain to Giles that he needs the money to buy her pretty things. Jeez! Enough with the stereotyping. I liked Anya better when she wasn't spouting the De Beers party line. Giles rolls his eyes and asks for a maple walnut, but upon tasting the Powersauce Bars (oh wait, that was from The Simpsons, which I'd much rather be watching), he tells the duo that they can "leave [his] home now." They're interrupted by furious knocking at the door, but before Giles can answer it, Spike bursts in covered by a blanket. Since when does pure evil knock when it comes a-callin'? Xander suggests that Spike give up the morning jogs; I suggest Joss give up weakening what little vampire mythology he's spent the last three seasons establishing. Spike tells them that the commandos are after him and asks for their help. At the less-than-sympathetic reaction, Spike tries a different tactic by pointing out his wound, and when that doesn't work he gives Giles back the money he paid him, minus what he's spent on "blood and smokes." Snicker.

At the Initiative, Professor Walsh tells Buffy that they need her to go on a recon mission. Walsh asks Buffy to get a visual on a "Class Three Subterrestrial," which are mostly harmless and sometimes only raccoons. People, I am here to tell you that you don't want to be messing with the raccoon. I live across the street from a very large park, and once a raccoon chased my cat into the apartment from the backyard. When I stood up to my full height -- working on the animal kingdom's principle of making yourself big to intimidate any intruder -- it seemed less than worried, so I threw a sock at it. It briefly sniffed my sock and then took it in its mouth and walked out. Take it from me, raccoons are dirty thieving bastards. It was one of my favorite socks too. Anyway. Professor Walsh hands Buffy a gun and the com-cam. When Buffy tells Professor Walsh that she still has more questions about The Initiative, she promises that they can have a talk when Buffy returns.

The camera pans up from a bottle of cognac clutched by a pretty tipsy Spike, lying across Giles's table while the Scoobies operate on him. Willow is reading a spell out of a book that, if successful, will ionize the air and muddle the signal from the homing beacon. As Willow says, "Let the air be burned," all the light bulbs in the room explode, and when the camera switches back to the Scoobies, they all look like they just got out of eighth-grade science class after playing with the Van de Graaff Generator.

Riley and his team are tracking the signal through the woods when Forrest says that it's become muddled. They realize that the signal has moved towards more populated areas, and Riley gives the order to change into civvies. Dear god, but this episode is boring.

In the sewers, Buffy is tracking the HSTs. She rounds a corner with her gun at the ready, and when she hears some snarling noises she calls back to base. Two HSTs enter with big shiny axes. During a quick flashback, Buffy recognizes the demons as the ones getting operated on during her tour of the Initiative. She quickly tries to fire her gun at them, but it shorts out and she drops it. A gate crashes down, thereby trapping her with the HSTs.

Buffy fights with the demons; then the perspective switches to that of the com-cam back at the Initiative labs. Professor Walsh is watching the fight from Buffy's point of view while calmly sipping from a mug as black as her heart. We're supposed to think it's coffee, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the blood of newborn babies, she's that cool and remote about the whole situation. Buffy takes a hard hit, and the heart-rate monitor attached to the com-cam flatlines. Professor Walsh looks over her shoulder to see if anyone is watching and then takes a final sip of her blood of the innocents and looks vaguely troubled, but I'll bet she's just wondering if she forgot to add creamer.

Buffy wakes up to Riley. They kiss until they are interrupted by Riley's alarm which reminds him to take his vitamins. I rivet my eyes onto the Ethan Allen-vintage not-at-all-dorm-room-furniture headboard instead of on a half-naked Riley. So anyway, we get a little bit of Riley's back-story, and Buffy asks about 314, and then the phone abruptly rings. It's Professor Walsh summoning Riley to headquarters.

Riley strides across the Initiative labs on his way to meet Walsh but gets distracted by room 314, and he goes to peek through the little window on the door. Walsh comes up behind him and asks if he's lost his way. She then orders Riley to meet up with the team to capture Hostile-17. She sends him on his way with a "Riley. Make me proud." Professor Walsh? How about not making me any more sick than is absolutely necessary?

During this scene, Professor Walsh discusses the fact that Buffy is becoming a liability with Dr. Angleman, and we learn that Walsh really is the Evil Bitch-Monster of Death as she decides that Buffy is too dangerous to the Initiative to remain alive. Oh, and we see Dr. Angleman harvest the arm from the demon that was bagged earlier.

Giles, Anya, and Xander are playing Operation on Spike, trying to remove the foreign object from his shoulder. Giles observes that it isn't a bullet or a tranquilizer dart, and then notices that it's blinking. Spike says that he doesn't "care if it's playing ‘Rock The Casbah’ on the bloody jew harp, just get it out of me!" Giles directs Anya to fetch a bottle of Cognac. Spike tells Giles that he doesn’t want him drunk when he's operating on him, and Giles makes me giggle by saying, "It's not for me, you prat." The plan is to get Spike liquored up because the operation will take a while. Xander, even though he couldn't load a gun a few weeks ago, realizes that Spike has been pegged with a homing device. A look of dismay settles across their collective faces. Giles says that they "need to buy some time, it's in deep and I'm no surgeon," as Spike takes a furious swig from the bottle.

Buffy enters The World’s Largest Dorm Room as the camera pans across to show two nattily-made-up and obviously-not-slept-in beds. What self-respecting college student makes their bed every day? I don't think I've seen an unmade bed once this season. Oh well, it must be some weird Hellmouth influence. Willow enters a second later, still wearing the same outfit we last saw her in. There's a bit of awkwardness as Buffy notes that Willow was out all night. She starts to give Willow a half-hearted apology for the night before but her beeper goes off, so Buffy goes to answer the call of the Initiative. The phone rings and Giles tells Willow that he needs her to come over.

Back at the Initiative, Riley approaches Professor Walsh, who is standing in front of the bank of monitors, to make his report, but she interrupts him to tell him about Buffy's death. She spins a yarn about two Hostiles escaping and Buffy going after them on her own. Riley does his best to look concerned here, but he comes off as merely confused, and he opens and closes his mouth a whole lot. As Walsh is blabbering on, Riley catches sight of Buffy on the monitor over Walsh's shoulder. Buffy exposes Walsh as the evil fiend she is, and Riley gets a hard look on his face. Buffy warns Walsh that she's "going to find out" what The Slayer is and then steps on the com-cam, turning the picture to snow. Buffy! That was worth $20,000. Geez, you should have sold it on the black market or something. Riley stalks off with Professor Walsh calling after him and futilely ordering him not to leave.

Back at the Ex-Watcher Tower, Giles warns Spike that he’d better high-tail it out of town. Spike says that he isn't going to leave until the Initiative removes the chip that prevents him from harming living creatures. Meanwhile, Xander's striped shirt and Anya's striped skirt clash horribly. Giles warns Spike that it's not safe for him in Sunnydale, and a recently entered Buffy ominously says, "No, it's not safe for any of us here." Everyone pauses and stares at her to heighten the Dramatic Moment.

Over in room 314, Walsh stares at "Adam" as he lies on the gurney. She goes off on her own little doomiloquy, promising to make Buffy pay and saying that Riley will come around blah blah blah. Right when Walsh is nearing a dramatic frenzy, she says, "And when she least expects it," which is the cue for Adam to stab her from behind with his protruding bone spur. ["Fortune's a right whore, Professor Walsh." -- Ace] Does anyone else think that they got the inspiration from Adam off of the clearance table at Toys R Us? So Walsh looks over her shoulder to see who her betrayer is and Adam does the most clichéd thing possible by calling her "Mommy." That's it? I haven't felt this let down since my first make-out session at the drive-in. At least back then I had Sassy to pull me through.
