NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 05/2003 ~I thought the shot of Buffy looking at the broken glasses from the professor she hadn't been able to save, one of the first in a long line of people she won't be able to rescue in the nick of time, was poignant and important enough to include, even if this really was a Xander-heavy episode.
