The mission’s what matters

Wood

Principal Wood and Buffy had the following exchange in Dirty Girls:

Buffy: “Some of these girls haven’t even been tested in battle.”
Robin: “Then, I guess, maybe you should test them… Remember, Buffy, the mission’s what matters.”

In the next episode, Empty Places, the Slayer decides to act upon his words, but Robin turns on her, leading to her being kicked out of the house.

      I think Robin meens that a trip to see some not uber vamps would be good for them.

      Are you sure you don’t mean Buffy acts upon his words later on in Dirty Girls? Because that’s when she leads them to battle in the vineyard, not in Empty Places.

    3. TwoToGo-Grave says:

      Jess must mean that she planned on sending the group in again (for the 2nd time) in Empty Places. Of course, those words were first uttered in the flashback in LMPTM, and then Buffy uttered those words back to him at the end of that episode. Are we sure that Wood said ‘the mission’s what matters’ after the line that the potentials should be tested, by the way? I don’t recall that line.

      He definitely does say that TwoToGo. I was pretty sure of it but I just watched that scene to make sure because my memory is rubbish. I’m even more convinced though, that Wood’s suggestion to test the girls who hadn’t yet been in battle was what led to Buffy’s decision to confront Caleb in Dirty Girls. Testing the potentials isn’t the reason Buffy wants to go back for a second battle in Empty Places, it’s the fact that she believes Caleb is hiding something of importance there.
