This episode is disturbing in the most fun of ways, and I freaking love it.
Giles is rapidly running out of shits to give and it just never gets old.
SMG & JM have always had such fantastic chemistry & it's great to see another angle of that - loved up Spike & Buffy are oddly adorable & I love the way they still don't let up with the bickering.
Spike showing off just how insightful he can be when he actually uses his brain instead of just fighting - his position as an outsider to the group but still connected to them really helps with that.
Played for laughs that D'Hoffryn wants willing employees to become vengeance demons & is perfectly willing to say "oh, okay, no worries" if they say no - it's surprising how that seems to go completely over the head of most people what that says about Anya's backstory - she says herself that he made her an offer well over a thousand years before.
Regarding things being set up for later... that's one of the great things about rewatching, you can see a lot of the little hints they drop, some of them very subtle indeed.

OMG I love this episode. It' so dumb but also it's so sad and so funny. Sorry, it's late, my analysis is just kjhhgfdghjkljhgfhjk :D
What I got this is that you would like:
Tara...her name rings a bell, I just can't place her
Faith...she's very sleepy, let her nap!
Giles to be happy...he deserves the world and I couldn't agree more 🥰
Oz back...so the throuple thing is on again?
What you DON'T want
Giles/Joyce, Giles/lady from episode 1, jeez, fussy much? 😆
Buffy and Spike kissing
Buffy and Riley kissing
Sad Willow (join the club)
Sad Buffy (ditto)
Sad Giles (so much agreement)
PS. I love Anya 😍and that mug!
