Proserpexa was going to use Willow's power for her spell. She created the earthquake because when Willow uses her power she's connected to everything around her. Proserpexa created vast amounts of death and suffering in the hopes that it would break Willow's mind and her power would be hers for the taking. Willow doesn't break - despite the fact that she needs to stay connected to all the suffering people in Sunnydale in order to hold Proserpexa back.

Proserpexa does say that it doesn't matter, it just slows her down, she can still cast the spell herself. However, that could be another wildcard for the finale writers - since Proserpexa doesn't use Willow's power, the spell isn't complete.

Anya doesn't actually get to use her knowledge of Proserpexa, but it is the reason why she's walking to the bluff for the entire episode. While it may not seem important, I did need a reason why Anya would be heading straight for a life or death battle when she could be rescuing people around her instead. I also needed her for the Kennedy scenes.

There's a small Kennedy arc throughout the episode which has absolutely no importance but which I love. It's actually probably the story I'm proudest of in the episode, because I really think it works well. I'm especially happy because I never really liked Kennedy and was worried about how to write her, but I'm warming to her now.

I didn't mean for you to be pressured into revealing everything in your episode, I was just curious what Anya was up to :) I'm so excited to read your ep! It sounds wonderful! Yeah and you're right, after reading more on what your episode is about it really wouldn't be feasible to have some Faith/Spike/Buffy resolution in that episode. It's not a huge part of out story anymore, I just like the fun ways we've been bringing it up lately :) We can save that for episode 22, if at all.
