No longer a trope. Can't tell if replacement or others apply.


* BaseBreaker: Everyone attacking Buffy is a divisive scene, given she had good reason to be incredibly upset and think she wouldn't be welcome at home. What really breaks the base, though, is AuthorAvatar Xander leading the charge against her.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The conflict over Buffy leaving town during summer in the episode is framed as BothSidesHaveAPoint but it's actually hard to sympathize with Joyce and the Scoobies when they all act petty and selfish. Joyce [[NeverMyFault forgets that she kicked Buffy out her house]], Xander isn't called out for tricking her into killing an ensouled Angel and Willow acts like having a relationship with a nice werewolf and learning magic is as bad as being framed for murder, kicked out of home and having to kill a love interest.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The conflict over Buffy leaving town during summer in the episode is framed as BothSidesHaveAPoint but it's actually hard to sympathize with Joyce and Buffy's friends (except Oz and Cordelia) come across as this. While being angry at Buffy for running away is one thing, they seem rather unsympathetic to the Scoobies fact that Buffy had left as a result of killing her boyfriend. They also refuse to spend time with Buffy when they all act petty she asks them to but then accuse her of pushing them away. They decide to host a party at her house and selfish. invite people she doesn't know personally just to avoid talking to her. Not to mention that Joyce [[NeverMyFault forgets was the one who told Buffy not to come back home if she left the house after Buffy revealed the existence of the supernatural to her and that she kicked Buffy out her house]], Xander isn't called out for tricking her into killing an ensouled Angel and Willow acts like having a relationship with a nice werewolf and learning magic is as bad as being framed for murder, kicked out of home and having had to kill a love interest.save the world.

Occurred to me I might be jumping the gun on this edit, so reverting it until it's more resolved in ATT.


* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Buffy says to Xander, "Didn't anyone ever warn you about playing with pointy sticks? It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye." In the season seven episode, "Dirty Girls", Buffy sees the villain of that episode, Caleb, gouge out another character's eye.

Per Ask the Tropers and the Hindsight Cleanup thread, tweaking the entry to both have context while not spoiling anything too specific. On the one hand, Recap pages shouldn't reference future episodes. On the other, "Hindsight" tropes go on the work affected on by the hindsight. So hopefully this'll work as a meet-in-the-middle.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: The whole gang's out of character behavior in this episode was seen as a regrettable necessity by the show's crew, as otherwise they'd be stuck playing out the emotional ramifications of Buffy's departure for much longer and everyone wanted to get back to the whole gang being friends again. They end up acting uncannily like they would all the time in the final two seasons.
