Cut back to the demon dimension -- I mean, "a soundstage somewhere in L.A." The Eye of Botox is explaining that The First Evil cannot be fought or killed and will endure longer than the universe itself. What a fun, upbeat guy. I'm thinking that he got sentenced to spend an eternity in a windy, dark dimension where nobody could hear his ramblings because he was such a drag at parties. Giles, all windblown hair, screams, "I refuse to believe that!" Well, it's good to see Giles believing in something after that awful Roboto Giles from the last episode. "What am I, talkin' to myself here? There's no way!" snarks the Eye of Botox. Anya seems to take this answer at face value and begins to pull Giles away. Based on Anya's apprehension and Giles's description of this as a "dark dimension," I was thinking that this place might in some way be scary. But no. All Giles meant is that someone forgot to pay the power bill. Words have no power to suggest anything beyond their meaning now. "Dark" means nothing but "lack of light. And incredibly windy for no good reason." Giles is not so easily deterred, though, and stops Anya with a gesture. He asks if The First will find success in its quest to eliminate the line of the chosen ones. But "the eye sees not the future. Only the truth of the now and before." "We've all got that," grouses Anya. "It's called memory!" Hee. Anya is one of the few bright spots in this show for me. Giles wants to know why The First is just now getting around to making its move. Well. Who among us has not known the evils of procrastination? Maybe The First is just the worst procrastinator in the world. "The opportunity has only recently presented itself," replies the Eye of Botox, carrying on the time-honored tradition of mystical oracles everywhere by giving JUST enough information to technically answer the question, but without providing any insight at all. Giles is smarter than that, though, and questions the oracle further; he gets a spiel about how "the mystical forces surrounding the chosen line have become irrevocably altered. Become unstable. Vulnerable." Giles, understandably, wants to know what is responsible for this vulnerability. "The Slayer," ominously replies the Eye of Botox.
