b"Faith is no Kendra. I have to say that up front.

As if Buffy doesn't have enough to deal with, along comes the woman who replaces her. And she's much more interesting than Buffy, and prettier, too. Even if she does wear pants that seem to be made of fruit roll-ups.

Honestly this episode felt a little rushed. We're introduced to a new antagonist or two, and there's apparently some tension building between Buffy and Faith. Dealing with the past seems to be a theme, as Buffy struggles to admit to Giles what went down between her and Angel, and Faith being unable to confront the death of her watcher. Also Zander has a thing for slayers. It must hurt that Willow is the only woman on earth he doesn't have a boner for.

Only one episode this week, guys. Bitches tell me next week the episodes fit together better."
