5.13 - Blood Ties

Dawn learns her true nature.


***

Poor Dawn. I've really come to love her on this show. I think that Michelle Trachtenberg is a pretty amazing actress to be so young as she is here. She's played the annoying, bratty sister, but here she gets to delve into a world of pain, and she really sells it well.

So Dawn finds out that she's the key. We also find out that Ben, the doctor dude that has been nice to Buffy in the past, shares a body with Glory. I don't remember this stuff at all, and I wonder how it's going to be explained.

Anyway, great performances here from all around. Spike is hopelessly in love with Buffy, but really...who can blame him. More on that next.

Rating: 8/10

The whole Dawn issue was my favorite reveal since Spike got out of his wheelchair. Well, there may be some good twists in between there :)

Yeah, there were some good reveals in season 3 and 4, but this one packs a punch. You can't help but feel really bad for the poor girl.
