History Recap / BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E15IWasMadeToLoveYou

* AnAesop
-->'''Buffy:''' She devoted everything to making this one person happy. And then it was like, with him gone, there was just... no reason for her to exist any more. [...] I mean, look at me obsessing about being with someone. It's like... I don't need a guy right now. I need me. I need to get comfortable being alone with Buffy.\\
'''Xander:''' [[FriendshipMoment Well, I'll say this, she's a pretty cool person to be alone with.]]\\
'''Buffy:''' ''[smiles]'' Thank you.

* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: While on the surface this seems like a slight BreatherEpisode in the midsts of the Glory arc, it marks the first appearance of the man who would become responsible for the single most infamous and heartbreaking moment in the entire Buffyverse. To say nothing of the last scene. And as Spike sets up near the end, the idea of a humanoid female robot (in this case, one modeled after Buffy) isn't going anywhere any time soon.

** The self-centered amorality and misogyny that leads to Warren gleefully skipping across the MoralEventHorizon in Season 6 is shown. April is designed to experience pain if she doesn't respond to Warren's voice. When Warren finds a real girlfriend, he just leaves April to run down without even bothering to deactivate her. Under stress he snaps at Katrina to StayInTheKitchen, and in the end he just sics his malfunctioning robot onto Buffy and flees.[[invoked]]
** Warren avoids April's wrath by making Buffy the target instead. Warren has the same solution when he has to deal with the M'Fashnik demon and the police in Season 6.

* ChekhovsGunman: Warren returns as a BigBadWannabe in Season 6. Katrina returns in the Season 6 episode "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E13DeadThings Dead Things]]".

* KickTheSonOfABitch: April throwing Spike out the window gets this reaction from the Scoobies; Buffy herself declares that she wouldn't give up the memory of that moment for anything.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Discussed; the Scoobies don't initially see April as much of a threat, since she's just looking for her boyfriend, and [[KickTheSonOfABitch actually approve of her tossing Spike out the window]]. When Buffy talks with Warren about April to confirm it, that's when it hits her that April ''is'' a threat:

* OnSecondThought: Buffy tells Giles that her night didn't go well, what with Spike being thrown through a window. [[KickTheSonOfABitch Buffy then decides she wouldn't exchange that night for anything.]]

* SuddenDownerEnding: "Mom?"

** Warren wants to know how Spike got into his house. Spike replies that [[BasementDweller Warren's mother invited him in]].

* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: While on the surface this seems like a slight BreatherEpisode in the midsts of the Glory arc, it marks the first appearance of the man who would become responsible for the single most infamous and heartbreaking moment in the entire Buffyverse. To say nothing of the last scene.

* DownerEnding: An UrExample; Buffy comes home to find her mother dead.

* BuxomIsBetter: April, obviously (she got self-proclaimed "breast girl" Willow's attention anyway).

** Warren avoids April by making April go after Buffy instead. Warren has the same solution when he has to deal with the M'Fashnik demon and the police in Season 6.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Buffy and Dawn make their mother spin around in her dress. Repeatedly.

* OperationJealousy: Spike chats up April to make Buffy jealous. All it does is [[DestinationDefenestration lead April to toss him out a window]].

** When Spike shows up at the Magic Box, Willow claims that they're attempting to find a way to un-invite him from the Magic Box, even though it's a public place, meaning Spike can enter and exist at his leisure. Xander, however, says they might as well let him in... so they can toss him right back out.

* WaifFu: Buffy is tired of getting beat up by strong girls who aren't her.

** The self-centered amorality and misogyny that leads to Warren gleefully skipping across the MoralEventHorizon in Season 6 is shown. April is designed to experience pain if she doesn't respond to Warren's voice. When Warren finds a real girlfriend, he just leaves April to run down without even bothering to deactivate her.
