Later, Willow and Buffy walk to school. Buffy's clad in a strange outfit, the stand-out feature being knee-high boots that are loose and floppy around the tops. She's got a Three Musketeers vibe going that isn't working for me. Willow wants to know if Buffy feels better about the situation with Angel, and Buffy replies, "Well, we talked. And then he ripped out the heart of a demon and fed it to me -- and then we talked some more. " Sounds like my best relationships. Willow and I both agree, "That's how it should work!" The girls run into Giles, and Willow trots off to give the murder profiles to the yearbook crew. Buffy and Giles continue walking; Buffy's doing fine and fills Giles in on Jonathan, who was suspended and is less popular than ever due to his rifle-toting ways. Buffy thinks he's doing better, and she's happy to be helping but she's afraid he's starting to "get that look" that means he'll ask her to prom. This conversation reminds me of the scene at the end of "Superstar," where Buffy is nasty to Jonathan and doesn't even ask him to join the rest of gang for their picnic. Grrr -- that scene annoyed me at the time and I'm getting even more annoyed here by what Buffy is saying. I guess checking up on Jonathan for a little while gave her some real warm fuzzies about her wonderful, charitable nature, but she apparently never saw fit to climb down off her pedestal and actually make friends with the guy. Buffy balks at Giles's suggestion that she might accept an invitation to prom from Jonathan. "He's like three feet tall!" she protests, which is a pretty gauche thing to say about a guy who hates himself enough to recently attempt suicide. Giles smirks and inquires if Buffy is ready to train. She agrees to work out after school, and then adds, "If you're not too busy having sex with my mother!" Whump! The dumbfounded Giles walks straight into a tree.
