Another Misunderstanding of a Conversation
8 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The cat's out if the bag! In this episode, Dawn finally learns the truth about herself, thanks to a B&E with Spike. After misunderstanding a conversation between Buffy and her mom, Dawn encounters Ben/Glory. Willow uses a spell to get them out of a messy situation.

This is a good episode but I feel like the Buffyverse uses the "misunderstanding half a conversation" trope way too much. A few times is fine but it's constantly happening to characters and often times is used to push a plot forward. It's a bit lazy.

I did not see that Ben-Glory transformation coming at all; what a twist! Their relationship is still a bit muddled and it's interesting that Dawn forgot about it as soon as Glory left. It's very intriguing. We also still know very little about the Knights and what their agenda is. From what I can gather, they want to destroy the key so that it can't be used to open whatever is locked. (Pandora's box maybe? I'm just speculating.)

Whatever it is, it must be big and it has me excited for things to come.
