Buffy season 7, episode 15, "Get it Done":
-Synopsis
-Miranda/Chloe commits suicide and Mitch's childhood is sobbing hysterically.
-Kennedy gets a bit of a reality check when she sees what happened.
-Spike's jacket is from Principal Wood's mother, AKA a former slayer and Principal Wood makes a comment about it that is a really nice throwback.
-Kristen doesn't think Spike has put two and two together yet, but it's only a matter of time and enough heavy handed hints.
-D'Hoffryn is hunting Anya.
-Buffy makes a vicious speech to the entire group and it seemed slightly out of character, honestly.
-Karen defends Buffy's hopeless attempt to pump up the troops because she's worn down and maybe just lost her filter in those moments.
-Enter the emergency kit with an "impossible to open" lock.
-So much Slayer lore talk!
-Where in the world is Watcher Rupert Giles? (sung to the Where in the World is Carmen San Diego theme song)
-Willow spooks Kennedy when she steals a bit of energy from her for the portal spell.
-Willow makes a strange joke about being the one to bring Buffy back, and it reminds us of all the complexity of the first time she brought Buffy back.
