They need you, not the other way around

Warning: Spoilers
The Watcher's council returns with news that could help Buffy in her fight against Glory, but they won't tell her until she passes a series of tests. The council also interviews Xander, Anya, Willow, Tara and Spike. One of Glory's minions, Jinx, tries to get information about Buffy and The Key from Ben, but Ben refuses.

Why It's So Good - Tensions between Giles and Quentin made us remember why we like Giles so much. The Ben/Glory conspiracy heats up and the interviews of Xander, Anya, Willow, Tara and Spike provide the laughs. The cheer at the end by the scoobies followed by the Glory being a God twist rounds out this episode quite well.

Also, just important to remember, if you work for someone - they need you. Often more than you need them.

Watch Out For - Spike and The Watcher's Council groupie.

Quote - "Just don't break anything. And don't make a lot of noise. Passions is coming on." - Spike talking to Joyce and Dawn.
