There's a nice Buffy/Spike scene where they talk about what's going on and he reassures her that nothing happened, and then at the same time the group questions Faith back at the house on whether she not had sex with him, that's (hopefully) pretty funny.

I just can't figure out why it wouldn't be addressed by now, you know? What if you just added one scene in the beginning taking place right where the episode left off, where Spike asks what is going on, but before anyone can get a response Giles suggests going to check out the Hellmouth because the firefighters and cops probably left the scene by then.

Then, with all the drama with Xander, naturally it wouldn't be appropriate to bring it up. I know it's not something ME would do, but this is just a regular human error and I think in fairness to you, Bunnyphobia and Wyvern, I think you should add one scene in the beginning.
I hate people saying, "I would have liked this episode a lot more but all I kept thinking about was why it isn't resolving any questions." Regardless on whether or not I add anything, people are still going to be bothered by the fact that it wasn't addressed right away. People who read the season aren't going to know there was a mistake, you know? Just so the episode makes sense I really think you should just add one scene in the beginning and I'll address it to a larger extent.

[> As the writer of ep 15, can I put in my opinion? -- imisstara, 20:42:59 06/02/03 Mon

Hi, everyone! I sometimes include my email when i leave messages on the C&S board, and believe it or not I've actually gotten a few emails from Spike and Faith fans wanting to know what happened! To me, it's not that the questions were left unresolved. I think it's fine if they're left unresolved, 'Buffy' does it all the time.

The problem is that the beginning of the episode just doesn't really make any sense when you read it after my episode, you know? That's a totally different thing than ambiguity. It almost seems like my episode didn't happen, which is kinda sad. And again, of course it's no one's fault, but it's less of an ME "let's be mysterious" trick and more of a simple mistake that happens.

So, I think it would be nice to add one scene before the craziness starts and also add just a few lines from my episode into the "Previously On" section, cause why wouldn't episode 15 be in that, you know?

That's my opinion. I don't think it's fair to Bunnyphobia or Wyvern for people to critize the episode for something like that, so I think if we do it people can realize the greatness that it is! Debate Xander's development, Kennedy's motivation, or Proserpexa's plan, but it seems unfair for the writers for people to be hung up on that. Especially cause it will only take like 10 minutes to fix!

I wrote that segment before airing, and really just chose scenes that were necessary to the episode - such as Amy's backstory, some info on Proserpexa, and Xander threatening Amy with the gun in Ep11.

Yes, I should have added some Ep15 stuff, and I apologise. :-)
