All the Way

From a purely basic view, the fact that Dawn is always the center of everything, but continues to steal and defy the realities of her world, seems rather sad. The Scoobies have time after time come to her aid and yet she shows no gratitude. Again she lies and wanders alone in places where it is dangerous. Then that guy nearly kills her, and she is welcoming him. Luckily, Spike, Giles, and Buffy were there. Other issues. The marriage between Xander and Anya looks like a recipe for disaster. Anya doesn't think five minutes ahead, and Xander is still a child in many ways. Finally, Willow is able to cut off all the realities of life with spells. She is not willing to face the music on even the smallest of things. The final scene where she changes the reality of the situation. We know there is going to be hell to pay. Oh, and we got away from the three cruds for a while.
