and both Giles and Xander's reaction to the news Willow now has a girlfriend 
I also love The Yoko Factor one! It was just hilarious and brought up the question about "The chosen one....and her friends" thing and that was cool but I don't think that was the best. I think everyone's looking at funny ones but my favorite was Buffy and Angel/Giles in Prophecy Girl. Wow! "I don't want to die." Oh. My. God. How amazing can SMG be? Pretty amazing, obviously! 
"Read me the signs! Tell me my fortune!" That was so well written and acted.
Another great example of how fun it is to be evil, you can say exactly what you can't say when your trying to be a good friend She is pretty harsh towards Giles, obviously still being pretty angry about the fight they had and what is great is that it is personal. If Glory had said this to Giles it would have nowhere near the same punch as it would if Willow did.
. Xander's speech obviously changed things for Buffy. How?? - well I honestly have no idea. I don't think he's the type of guy that comes around once in a lifetime. Does a good boyfriend whine about his girlfriend paying more attention to her sick mother than him? Obviously not! And does a good boyfriend threaten to LEAVE because of that?? No. I just couldn't understand where Riley was coming from in all of this!
However, the problems between Buffy and Riley started before her mother got sick, that was just another thing on a long list of things which resulted in Riley finally leaving Buffy. The Scoobies, Spike and even Riley saw that Buffy wasn't treating Riley very well and Buffy finally realised this as well; unfortunately too late. .

I'm almost positive that the Riley/Buffy relationship problems started in the same episode as Joyce's collapse. The effects of the medicine that Professor Walsh pumped into her soldiers was starting to take a toll on Riley's body. In that episode, he said things like "You're getting stronger everyday, I can't touch you, everyday you're just that much further out of my reach". What exactly had Buffy done to him prior to this moment to make him feel this way? The two were on great terms by the end of Season 4, and stayed solid up until that point. He also asked why Angel and Dracula had so much power over her. In this case, I can understand why he asks this given his lack of knowledge on the subject (in particular Buffy's relationship with Angel), but I don't see what Buffy did to him to make him feel that way. It seemed like he was trying to compare Buffy's relationship with Angel and connection to Dracula with his relationship with Buffy. They are vampires, she is a Slayer. Obviously there has to be a connection between them that Riley can simply never understand, which is why I think Buffy explicitly said "You so don't get it", and hardly explained why.
