Although not a fan fave this is a personal favourite of mine. The strongest thing about this episode for me was the character building and interactions. The Buffy/Giles relationship is continued to be done very well and the inclusion of Cordelia and giving her a bit more depth was very welcome. The gruesome twosome were well done and there was surprisingly some depth I found in the mothers breakdown and inability to move on and it has obvious consequences for her son who was still alive but may as well be dead in his her eyes. Really gave a bit more weight to the episode that I think people often overlook.
