Kaethe and Madeline go into this worrisomely titled episode with the theme of sacrifice. They look at the similarities between Ampata's and Buffy's sacrifice of a normal life, the role gender plays in expectations and discourse around sacrifice, and the fact that it was super unnecessary for Xander to sacrifice himself to a girl he met two days ago. Also, what made Sven (who does NOT speak Spanish, Cordelia) decide to be an exchange student??
