1. At the beginning, Buffy is pondering a potential relationship with Riley. She says: "Part of me believes that real love and passion have to go hand in hand with pain and fighting." Is this true for the Buffster?

Yes. She needs that in her relationships.

No. She'd be just fine without all the pain and such.

Hell, she'd be better in a relationship without all the angst.

2. I can already predict the results to these next two, but let's do a couple chemistry scales. In this episode, Buffy and Riley have a picnic where the topic wanders on to driving. A hot and heavy moment is shared between them. On the scale below, rate the chemistry between this couple. 1 = None; 10 = SO MUCH CHEMISTRY.

5. At the end, Buffy seems much more amenable to a relationship with Riley, a "decent, reliable" guy. Is she considering this relationship because she wants it or because it seems like the sensible thing to do?

View Answers

She genuinely wants to date Riley. She digs him.

She feels like it's the sensible thing to do to get away from her "bad boy" thing.

Bit of both
