Buffy has Giles, Dawn, Xander, Anya, and Faith gathered in her bedroom. We see the shocked faces of the Scoobies reflected in the wardrobe mirror. Silence, and then Buffy asks, "What do you think?" Xander wants to know if Buffy is kidding, and Faith suggests that the plan is "pretty radical." Giles stands up, saying, "It flies in the face of everything we've ever -- every generation has ever done, in the fight against evil." He pauses, breaks into a grin, and continues, "I think it's bloody brilliant." Mm! Whoops, sorry. It's shameful how quickly a smile and a little supportive action will make me go running back to Giles, isn't it? Tony Head is such a charming man -- tell me again why they had him playing Giles as such a freak all season? If there'd been an ounce of story there, a scrap of motivation, I might've rolled with it, but I never understood why. Will no one TELL ME WHY?! Erm, sorry. Happy happy joy joy! Giles (sigh) continues smiling (sigh), and I even forgive him for telling Buffy the plan is brilliant when the rest of the episode reveals it to be half-baked and bizarre. 'Cause I'm the happy finale recapper, remember? Willow dithers about being key-guy in the plan, but la-la-la-la I can't hear her because real Willow died in England last summer and this is just some washed-out simulacrum. Simulacrum Willow is worried about the "total loss of control" the plan entails for her, and TMIs about Kennedy's pierced tongue in the process. Giles tells her she can do it, and offers to contact that mythical coven they yapped about a lot at the start of the season. Dawn and Giles head out to do research, with possible spin-off establishing lines: Dawn calls herself "Watcher Junior" and Giles implies that he'll be contacting the dead for information. Xander and Anya leave too. Buffy, Faith, and Willow are left alone in the bedroom. Buffy hands Simulacrum Willow The Little Red Axe That Could.
