I really liked this chapter. The way your keeping Faith in character but showing glimpses of her inner struggles and insecurities, even about what Willow does to Tara- which was partly from Faith's encouragement to be selfish and use her power and turn to the dark. And Tara, she really is being violated. Why does Willow even want to stay with her, if she has to change how she thinks and acts and shut her up when she disagrees? The only part of Tara that Willow doesn't change is physically, and then we get into a truly abusive relationship metaphor.

Spike's an idiot, of course, as we all know Spike can be. And Buffy really having to worry about Willow without the denial of the 'best friend would never hurt me or anyone really' buffer was very nice. I can't wait to see what happens next.
