If you needed help with a spell, Willow could have done
it.”
“Sure I could. I could have done more than helped if I’d
known you needed it.”
“Thank you Willow, I will bear that in mind another time,
but unfortunately I needed Ethan’s particular type of
help for this spell.”
It’s quite entertaining to watch Giles tap dance around
the facts, but he’s no Fred Astaire and I don’t think
Buffy’s going to let it go. “Okay, so we’re still beating
around a pretty big bush here. What was the spell,
Giles?”
Light blue touch paper and wait for the explosion – three,
two, one…”I needed Ethan to deactivate Spike’s chip.”
Boom!
“You needed what!” Oh yeah, this ain’t going to be
pretty. “You know, Giles, I think I need to get my hearing
tested or something, ‘cause for a moment I thought you
said you needed to deactivate Spike’s chip. But I
obviously didn’t hear that, because no one in their right
mind would press the on switch to a known killer.”
