| well - the way everything was presented, I'm gonna guess that there really hadn't been much need for 'contingency' plans prior to Buffy and Faith. Kendra seems to be the more 'typical' Slayer - the one who knows her duty and does it -
Buffy and Faith are the 'odd balls' of the Slayer group - and the Watcher's Council probably hasn't had to deal with two Slayers like these. So, they might be ready to call a new one - dunno -
and this is all just my ramblings, I could be totally off here-- |
