We don't want trouble, you don't want trouble.
We're demons, we're really all about trouble.
Nasty lowlife DOTW (Demons Of The Week) never make for a good addition, but the real heart of the episode held more meaning than the first part. I can legitimately empathize with Buffy's first words to Dawn, and Sarah sold that that's what Buffy had been thinking every moment she was on screen. Some characters may ironically be faltering late into some of their developments, but Buffy and Dawn are the core, and Sarah and Michelle are shining diamonds here.
The Scoobie dynamic is like a pale imitation, and mostly annoying here-- presumably killed little by little, each time Tara said "Scoobie meeting", up to this point, despite never really being one of them. The Spike and Dawn parts are solid.

A fair bit weaker than the first ep but still some solid stuff here.
