8.06: No Future For You, Part I

[Kanazaka]

After a surprising encounter with a nest of vampires, Faith runs into Giles, who sends her on a mission to kill a Slayer who threatens to destroy the world. Meanwhile, Buffy is having disturbing nightmares ...

I was glad to see Faith again, and liked her poking fun at her previous relationship with Robin Wood. The rogue Slayer is an interesting new enemy, especially because of her mentor. And the fork incident provides another revealing glimpse into Faith's past, which is mostly clear at this point; however, it's more interesting not to know exactly what happened to her when she was a child. And aside from the story, one of the letters posed a question about Warren's % " that I had been thinking about; Joss's answer was priceless .
