I expected Buffy could be pregnant after the rape. I would have prefered to be wrong. She wanted to keep the child, a courageous choice. And Ted tried to kill her and provoked a miscarriage. Sad to say, but now, there's a physical proof, and DNA test can be made to prove Ted's acts. Of course, I'm sure he will say that Buffy, and even Dawn, were consentant.

Til there, Ted has had an indecent luck. Already guilty of beating, rapes, but always clean. Now, attempted murder. I hope his luck will not last.

And Joyce... She deserves jail too. The woman is incredible! After what her daughters have endured, she asks them when they will come home? And the scene Giles saw: Joyce "curled" against Ted! And she has the nerves to accuse Spike! And to play the perfect mother? Is she blind, stupid or like Buffy said "an egoist bitch"? If only she could see how horrible she acts. And dies of remorses. She betrays her own flesh and blood. In a sense, she's worst than Ted. A perfect match.

"Lot of angst" as you said in the resume. God, you keep your promises! I cross all my fingers (hands and feet!) for the next chapter!

I was worried about her bring pregnant. So, I'm assuming that was the first rape. Poor Buffy...so much pain so young in her life. No one should have to go through that. I hope Ted rots in jail for a LONG time. Rape, child abuse, molesting minors, and attempted murder should keep him there for a LONG time. Poor Buffy and then Spike, I still don't understand why he didn't do more to help her. Update soon please!
