Buffy - 3x17 - Enemies

We're on a roll. This is another favourite. I love it on a lot of levels; it's a wonderful game of slight of hand and deceptive points of view. It's also an interesting study in the personalities of three of the most interesting characters in season 3: Buffy, Angel, and Faith. AddAngelus as a ghost-image forth. And the structure of the episode - far superior in its pacing, layering, characterization and nuance than most television, including Buffy. And the suspense. Add in the tug on the heartstrings in all the best ways. Everything - whether deception or truth - was based on knowledge we already had, and understanding of the plot and characters. A major twist, with no cheating. Maybe I should try remembering DouglasPetrie's name? I see that his other work has been unmemorable, but he was "Professor Normal". As Faith would say: "Huh."
