This kind of backfires for the First, though, because it just gives Buffy an idea. Since Faith is occupying Buffy’s room, Buffy sleeps cuddled up with Spike – except she can’t sleep, and while she’s pacing about, the First comes calling, initially manifesting as Caleb but eventually becoming Buffy herself, reeling off the all too familiar “one girl in all the world” speech to taunt Buffy and remind her that she’s alone, leading an army of girls who won’t know real power until she’s dead. There’s a lovely, touching moment where he asks for the necklace, she hesitates and says it’s to be worn by a champion, and then when he looks utterly dejected, hands it over to him, demonstrating her ultimate faith in him. Buffy fills everyone in on Caleb’s eventual fate and then goes to talk to Spike, who’s angry in the basement. When Buffy gets home, having sent Angel away to set up this second front, she finds Dawn waiting for her – ready to kick her in the shin for being a dumbass. I really don’t want to think about it, so let’s just skip this scene and never say the words “cookie dough” in association with relationship issues ever again. And as if Angel acting all out of character weren’t bad enough, it’s time for Buffy to give a speech which may be one of the most embarrassing moments in the entire seven seasons of this show. Walking back from the vineyard, Angel asks Buffy if Spike’s her boyfriend now, and gets all snarky and jealous and, er, it’s really awkward, because Angel, in Angel the series, doesn’t act like this.
