House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

So because that's early in their relationship, initially on my first watch, I was like,

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

should I be on my guard with Tara?

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

But then that very quickly faded as a question or concern for me.

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

It just didn't seem like Tara was being presented in any way outside of that one moment of putting the dust under her bed.

‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

Like a character we should be doubting and somebody who might be positioned as having like impure intentions.

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

So could I be wrong?

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

Maybe, but I don't think it's setting up like some sort of

House of R

Tara's actually bad reveal.

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

What struck me as more likely, especially on a rewatch, having spent more time with Tara, um,

‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

I don't know why that would be, but that seems like a possibility.

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

And then I guess the other option would be just more broadly that there was some anxiety about...

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

like losing Willow or wanting to basically like draw out the period of time that Willow would need to be going there to do magic and spending time with her.

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

So those were the things that occurred to me.

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

But yeah, is this something that we will be getting an answer to eventually?

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

Yeah.

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

Okay, great.

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

I mean, again, the highs in this season are really high.

House of R
‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Rewatch (Part 2)

Like I love these faith episodes.

I think that, um,
