1. Buffy finally tells the others that Dawn's the Key. They're annoyed that she took so long. Do you think she was in the right to keep that info under wraps?
| Yes. After all, the Scoobies started acting weirdly around Dawn once they know. |
   57 (54.3%) |
| She had been at first, but she took too long to tell them. |
| 28 (26.7%) |
| No. She should have told them as soon as she found out. |
| 2 (1.9%) |
| I have another answer. |
| 7 (6.7%) |
| Not sure. |
| 11 (10.5%) |
2. The Knights of Byzantium make another appearance in this episode. Some people have issues with these guys. What say you?
| Stupid concept. |
| 17 (16.2%) |
| Interesting concept. Poorly executed. |
| 63 (60.0%) |
| Good concept. Good execution. I have no issues. |
| 15 (14.3%) |
| I have another answer. |
| 2 (1.9%) |
| Not sure. |
| 8 (7.6%) |
3. Which Scooby do you think does the worst job of "acting normal" around Dawn?
| Willow. "Well, I don't think Buffy would like the, uh, black arts bumpin' auras with the littlest Summers." |
| 10 (9.8%) |
| Tara. "This should give us a heads-up so we can hide ... the, um, key." |
| 8 (7.8%) |
| Anya. "You make a very pretty little girl!" |
| 68 (66.7%) |

5. Dawn finds out she's the Key in this episode. Should Buffy have told her earlier?
6. Spike complains about not being in "the bloody loop" with regards to Dawn as the Key. Should he have been told?
7. Glory threatens to brain-suck Dawn before Buffy interrupts. Would she have been able to?
| Yes. Then Dawn would still be usable as the Key. |
| 27 (26.0%) |
| Yeah, but then she couldn't use Dawn as the Key |
| 12 (11.5%) |
| No. |
| 24 (23.1%) |

1. I don't think it protected the scoobies not to know, because Glory would assume they knew. It may have put Dawn more in danger because there is always a chance someone slips up.
2. I never really got that whole thing. Weird stuff.
3. Totally Anya. There is no normal way to interpret "you make a very pretty little girl"
4. The thing I remember most is watching that with my adolescent younger daughter and her saying "if I ever said that to my sister I would kick my OWN ass!"
5. I can see both sides.
6. He is able to help Buffy protect Dawn, but he's a bit of a loose cannon as far as Buffy knows, and could end up telling.
7. I think she probably had an unsuckable brain. Since vampires did.
Three stars. Probably should have ranked higher now that I think about it. It's not bad.
7. Agreed.
