 | | This episode marked the writing debut of new executive story editor Jane Espenson, and I must praise her to the heavens. |
 | | In what I thought would be a goofy throwaway episode in the vein of "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" we instead got the return of a highly entertaining villain (Ethan), a plot that furthered the extremely creepy mayor storyline, and above all a hell of a lot of fun. |
 | | Finally, it was the little things that put this episode over, details like the mailman reading everyone's mail in the park, the way Buffy's training exercise with Giles comes into play in finding Ethan at the factory, Joyce coming up with a pair of handcuffs, and the mayor calling about sewer maintenance. |
