Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe credits read "Eliza Dushku as Buffy", instead of "as Faith", reflecting the fact she is playing Buffy in Faith's body for the majority of the episode.
- GoofsAfter Willow, Tara and Buffy (as Faith) arrive outside the church, Willow starts talking to the cop but we see her face in the corner of the screen and her mouth clearly isn't moving.
- Quotes
Spike: You know why I really hate you, Summers?
Faith: [in Buffy's body] 'Cause I'm a stuck-up tight-ass with no sense of fun?
Spike: Well... yeah, that covers a lot of it.
Faith: [in Buffy's body] 'Cause I could do anything I want and instead, I choose to pout and whine and feel the burden of Slayerness? I mean, I could be rich, I could be famous, I could have anything... Anyone... Even you, Spike. I could ride you at a gallop until your legs buckled and your eyes rolled up. I've got muscles you've never even dreamed of. I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more. And you know why I don't...? Because it's wrong.
- Crazy creditsEliza Dushku is credited as Buffy Summers as the episode involves body-swapping.

This was a really fine episode which works thanks to the great jobs done by Sarah Michelle Gellar and Eliza Dushku as they play 'Faith-pretending-to-be-Buffy in Buffy' body' and 'Buffy in Faith's body' respectively... they make us believe in what has happened in a way that isn't so obvious that we can't accept that their friends don't see it. There is a good degree of tension as the Watchers' Council decide what to do with Faith (actually Buffy) followed by an impressive final confrontation where things are resolved and vampires slain. Away from the main story Buffy and Tara's friendship is developing... perhaps to something more than friendship... Faith certainly thought so. Overall a really good episode which fans of the series are sure to enjoy.
