Upstairs, Andrew and Anya hear the sounds of evil afoot. Andrew takes his position behind Anya. She's not doing a good job of holding her sword level. In fact, it's shaking all over the place. She's been bitten with the last-minute fears. "I just figured that you'd be terrified and I'd be sarcastic about it," she confides to Andrew. He advises her to "picture happy things. A lake. Candy canes. Bunnies." At the mention of bunnies, Anya uncovers her primal rage, and her resolve hardens. Upstairs, somewhere else in the school, übervamps round a corner and engulf Wood and Giles. Giles and his foe trade some sword blows while Wood relies more on the martial arts end of things. Back with Anya and Andrew, Anya manages to behead an übervamp fairly easily, and even Andrew avoids getting killed within the first few seconds. These vamps must not be in the Gifted & Talented Minion program. I bet the Seal was open from the inside the whole time and they just never bothered to check if it was locked.

Under the Seal, there is more fighting. Spike beings to stumble. Apparently his Truly, Truly Truly Outrageous Jem is beginning to do something. He calls out for Buffy. Buffy pauses in the slaying to order the troops, "Keep the line together. Drive them to the edge. We can't let them…" Stab you from behind straight on through to the other side? Uh. The vamp behind you didn't get the memo. The camera follows Buffy's gaze down to look at her torso, except it's really obvious that what we see is a sword-point jutting out of a board covered by fabric similar to Buffy's top. Memo to the effects crew: people do not contain very many right angles and truly flat surfaces. Even ones as thin as SMG. Buffy makes gulpy-fish surprise faces and then falls facedown. And I fall into the happy commercial coma.

A moment later, out of the corner of my ear, I catch the taglines for one of this summer's movies, but I'm too busy enjoying my commercial coma to look and see what they're talking about. Based on what I heard, "They can't be reasoned with. They can't be bargained with." I can only guess that someone has finally taken the plunge and made a movie about TWoP recappers.
