I'll have to disagree with the above comment. I don't think Buffy really cares if Faith is on her side fully loaded since she is busy with Scotland, Dawn and the whole new gang of slayers. I think that Giles really means what he says about this being one final battle for Faith but i reckon Buffy is going to (dunno how or why) find out that Faith is connecting with the Lady and all and think Faith is back to her old tricks and goes to find her and such then they fight and i think Faith could end up dieing but only my thoughts I've not got a Joss mind so i could be very wrong

I believe that these episodes, The Long Way Home and No Future For You, should be considered mini movies. As there are only 8 arcs being created according to Scott Allie. I think we should think of it as Joss being handed a Hollywood budget to create a series of mini movies definately. If these were actual episodes, I'd hope that Joss would incorporate the standalone stories into it. For example, showing that the buffy double had been killed by that demon at the end of The Long Way Home. I know I'm going on but, I'm just trying to keep these topics alive and open, considering issue 8 will be available in 11 days!!!

I hope Faith continues to play a part in the following arcs. I would love for her to be in charge of a group of Slayers.

I just meant if these were TV episodes (I'm such a buffy geek btw), I would incorporate pieces from the standalone issues into the main arcs, such as the buffy double, being killed by the demon in The Chain. I would add this to the end of The Long Way Home, just to get to know what actually happened to the double.

We're gonna have this issue soon!!
PS - I think it's kinda funny that we already have 4 pages of discussion on an issue that isn't even out yet, haha.
Anyway...I'm hoping Faith is just biding her time to figure out Gigi/Roden's scheme and then she'll either kill her or try to rehabilitate her. I don't wanna see "bad girl" Faith return. It's played out to me.

Just asked Scott Allie if there will be a standalone or arc that takes place during buffy's birthday as that was a common occurance throughout the series, bar season 7. I just thought it would make it more traditional as far as the series goes.

I don't have my issues right now, but that's the only thing I can remember that looked like a demon. If that is who you meant, it wasn't a demon, it was Warren.

No I mean the demon in The Chain, Yamanh of hoh or something that killed buffy's double. I think that if this were a TV series, that they should have included the death scene at the end of The Long Way Home just to show what happened to the buffy double.

I really don't think Faith will turn her back on Buffy. She knows what happened when she went down that road. But obviously she's going to have to make it seem like she will. I'm just hoping she doesn't die at the end of the arc. Although the cover for next months issue does seem to imply that Faith is changing and letting go of her old ways by throwing her clothes into a fire or apparently being ON fire.

From the previews, it appears that Faith is once again going to feel betrayed by an authority figure in her life. Even though Giles may not have know exactly what Genevieve and Roden were planning. Also this issue is going to seem super short because so many previews have been released.
