MARTHA STEWART. BtVS Intertext/Allusion.
In
Faith, Hope and Trick (Season 3) Buffy is still having dreams about the love of
her life, Angel. Meanwhile, Scott Hope, a boy from school, is showing interest
in her. Buffy has little time to think about this, as she meets Faith, a new
Slayer with a lot of secrets. Faith has been followed to Sunnydale by two deadly
vampires, Mr. Trick and Kakistos, the latter having killed her Watcher in
Boston. After coming to terms with her fears, Faith stops Kakistos from killing
herself and Buffy, and Buffy finally accepts Scott's date invitation — unaware
that Angel has returned from Hell. — Short
synopsis by Anthony C. Blade.
The following dialogue is taken from the Buffy Dialogue Database at a Buffy and gang picnic:
Buffy: Oh, I just threw a few things together.
Cordelia: (impressed with Buffy's offerings) When did you become Martha Stewart?
Buffy: First of all, Martha Stewart knows jack about hand-cut prosciutto. (hands out drink bottles)
Xander: I don't believe she slays, either.
Oz: Oh, I hear she can, but she doesn't like to.
Buffy: (opens her bottle) Second of all, way too much free time on my hands since I got kicked out of school. (takes a drink)
Martha Stewart is a frighteningly perky and omnipresent homemaking expert, writer, and television personality whose name has become synonymous with domestic expertise.
