I like this double episode but, as I said before, they add a huge event on top of a season already really full of topics and events. So, maybe, for the best sake of the season it would have worked better moving it in the next season. Anyway, as I said, I really like this two parter episode, it has some great moments. One of such moments is for sure the initial shared dream sequence. It recreates the same style and mood of the one at the end of season 3 up to the talking through riddles. The second part of the dream sequence is well done but more straight forward, let's say less creative. In any case, me personally, I think that the mentioned above shared dream between Buffy and Faith, is my favourite in the entire show, A last thing, even if I'm aware that it's never stated anywhere in the show, I like to think that Buffy and Faith met in the dreaworld multiple time in the previous months and Buffy never said anything to anyone about it because, at the end, is a slayers' thing. No one would be able to understand it anyway, what it means actually to exist and move in the world of dreams. Now, for the things that bother me in the episode. A little thing, the scene in which Faith run away from Buffy, Now, I don't if the wardrobe department didn't provide them with shoes fit for purpose or it's due to the way they shoot the scene, but it always seemed to me that the running sequence was … stiff, a little bit clunky, I don't know how to explain it better but I know, from other moments in the show, that these girl can run. The police. The police in the show proved itself to be stupid and incompetent at a level that you could ask yourself how it can still be a thing. In this very episode it's like they want to remember it to us showing how they ridiculously failed to spot, not only Faith, but also the big dead demon on the ground. Towards the end of season three you probably arrived at the conclusion that it is as such by design because it was in the pocket of the mayor. So the police in Sunnydale is stupid, incompetent and corrupt, and yet now we should accept without a doubt that they so clearly connected Faith with the two dead people that we know she killed, accidentally or voluntarily, during the previous season, despite for sure the mayor used all his power to cover up any eventual trace that could have brought back to Faith. At the same time they apparently brush off any question about the person who put her in a coma, and that it's normal that now they consider Faith the public enemy number one in Sunnydale where people get killed or disappear on the daily basis. Now, I realize that the police is used as a tool to create temporary obstacles for the characters, I get it and I'm fine with that, what bothers me is that they did it, along the entire series, in a dull and sloppy way. It's even more annoying when you think that you don't need to be Shakespeare to fix it. She wake up for a long coma, she assaulted a girl and disappeared, for what they know she is confused and probably in a delusional state, clearly dangerous in such conditions, so it perfectly normal for the police to want to apprehend her and bring back to the hospital and, after that, maybe, move her to a mental facility. It's easy, it clearly contained in the events of this single episode and, still, allows the police to maintain exactly the same function in the story. Faith. I like the character, I like Eliza Dushku in the role and the incredible energy that she managed to convey through her interpretation. Sadly, from a narrative standpoint, the writers broke the character in the previous season. See, a writer can make his characters the direction he wants, he can turn an innocent soul in evil incarnate if he wants, I'm fine with the idea, provided however, that he's able to describe how, why and, above all, why, among all the choices available, his characters have chosen the one he has decided. When, at the end of episode 15, Faith goes from wanting to run away, clearly a Slayer thing, to joining the Mayor, someone she has no relationship with, has never talked to and has no idea about his plans of goals, in the space of a scene transition, they narratively broke her character. Why she didn't go on with her initial plan and left town, or, why she didn't give Buffy another shot, or, why she didn't think to remain but refusing any supervision from the council, or any other possibility in front of her? Someone would like a redemption arc for Faith, but how can you have a redemption arc if they didn't tell us how she arrived at that point in the first place? I guess that maybe you come out with a solid a beautiful explanation but, as I see it, it's up to the writers to come up with a good story, they get paid to do it. If the viewer is to do the work for them, at the very least it should be their right to ask for a slice of the cake.

While watching some more reactions for this episode, there were a couple of things I hadn't noticed before. First, Willow didn't know what 5 by 5 meant; despite having months to ask Faith or to look it up (it's a measure of radio reception - strong and clear; last time I saw used was by the Perseverance Mars rover engineers). Speaks to how little interest the Scoobies took in her. Second, Buffy complained that Faith hadn't take time to reflect and grow. But she did - she developed and executed a plan!
