Faith is definitely the more mature of the pair at this juncture. She's ready to take care of herself as well as others, doesn't need people to act as her safety net and emotional support. In a way, I wonder if Giles left Faith multiple properties, money, and horses because she is more responsible or possibly to test her responsibility, to extend trust to her that she can act as a grown up with real world, grown up concerns. Something Buffy could never handle.

Yep. Faith points out the mistakes, and says she doesn't have time or care to see Buffy's blubbering, cause there are a lot of folks *not Buffy* who are in pain right now.

Faith is my fave slayer in the series, and certainly here.

Word to this post.

Although, I still separate the show from the comics. It's just better that way.
