 In Empty Places, Giles says “Windmills” to Buffy. This is a reference to Don Quixote where Quixote fights a windmill, believing it is a huge monster. Giles is essentially telling Buffy that he believes there is no reason to go to the vineyard as there is nothing real to fight there. |

And as it turns out Buffy was right (even willing to talk strategy etc.) and Giles and all of her other back-stabbing “friends” were wrong. What a short memory these ingrates have. She’s died twice to save them and the world, including jumping to her death to save Dawn. And she gets thrown out of her own home. There’s a fine how-do-ya-do! And who do Rona and Kennedy think they are? Buffy brings them into the (relative) safety of her home and all they do is bitch. After they save the world Buffy should push that bus right off the cliff with all of them in it! I guess a Slayer wouldn’t carry a grudge like a demented and sad, but social, psycho who rants about a T.V. show on a website.

I honestly see nothing wrong with their actions. Buffy was right about their being something there, but she was very wrong in her plan. She simply didn’t have one, and had they gone back, nothing would have changed. Without a scythe or a slayer-turning-into spell, they’d have been totally screwed trying to fight Caleb and the bringers anyway. Simply, she had no plan; just a vendetta and some hurt pride that would have gotten a lot of more people killed. Throwing her out right then probably helped her to see how harsh she was being, and it likely helped her to act more composed when she came back. That’s just an opinion.
