For her upcoming 18th birthday, Buffy declines the scooby gang's offer of a big party, hoping to celebrate with quiet reflection and a traditional trip to the ice show with her father. But unbeknownst to Buffy, preparations are being made for a life-threatening rite of passage that drains the slayer of her powers and then entraps her with a powerful vampire foe that she must defeat in a defenseless state in order to pass the test.

I'm watching this right now. I like the bit where that guy's being mean to Cordelia and then Buffy's all "I bag to differ..." and she gets hit (which is bad, I know) and then Cordelia's all "What is your problem?" and starts hitting him all girly like and she gets all highpitched. It was just funny. Except for the part where Buffy gets hit... that was so uncalled for.  |

That epsiode made me... shiver. It was just uncomfortable because we all know that if Buffy had her strength that she could take on the vampire, but she doesn't and she's its prey and its following her and stalking her. Sending her almost mad. It really distrubed and and made me think about all of those helpless woman who are stalked by psychopaths and can't defened themselves properly. I loved the episode, and it slightly made me realize that indeed we have vampires like that in reality - their called humans. And right now a helpless person, woman, man, or child could be in that exact same situation - only problem would be that she or he can't splash holy water or stake them to make them go away.... they have live with that person, until their dead or arrested and even then their not safe.
... Wow... that was a major brain fart....

Woah.
You could stake someone though.... >_>
I didn't like seeing Buffy running down the streets screaming for help. That always unsettles me. *Shiver*

I wasnt a fan of this eppy I mean it was cruel to make Buffy lose her powers! How could Giles put a needle in her =/ How could you do that to the Slayer the one thats supposed to be defending your ass from Vampire attacks and demons! It was just a bad that it happened =( I mean seriously I dont think it made her stronger mabye a little more aware of her surroundings but thats all I see -_-
