Notes:
Andrew uses a video camera to document one day of life at command central.

Plot Highlights:

Masterpiece Andrew. Whiteboard Andrew. Morning in the Summers' kitchen. Buffy speechifies while Andrew "remembers" trio science experiments and foiling DarkWillow. The high school hellmouth gets focus-y, momentarily possesses Wood. Andrew interviews Xander & Anya. Mexico 2002 w/ Jonathan, including "like gods" fantasy. Buffy, Andrew, Wood, & Spike wander/fight in riot-ridden high school. Buffy scares Andrew into tears. Andrew shuts off the camera.

Memorable Moments:

  • Andrew's version of the Masterpiece Theater Leather Study Introduction
  • Andrew's false memory of being ubercool, in charge of the Trio and planning dastardly magnetizing deeds (while beltless!)
  • Possessed Wood charging at Buffy with bitter words RE: her past with Spike. Possibly possessed, possibly not, Wood charging at Spike's unprotected back later on, only to be foiled by a possessed student.
  • The Xander/Anya video-taped interview and later post coital declaration of probable over-ness.
  • Flashback to Jonathan and Andrew living in Mexico, tormented by "from Beneath You it Devours" dreams, but in spanish. And with the cheese man!
  • Andrew's vision of heavenly perfection and bliss, the Trio frolicking through day-glow flowered fields with harps, togas and a big pile of shiny yellow gold.
  • Buffy's grim charade of bleeding Andrew tricking him into spilling tears instead.
  • A sober and serious Andrew letting go of his storytelling denial ways, shutting down the camera for good.
