* In ''Fanfic/BringMeToLife'', Buffy reflects in chapter 27 that she's wanted to punch Kennedy out from the minute she arrived in Sunnydale, and it's only because of Willow that she's restrained herself from doing so. After Kennedy goes off on a ConspiracyTheorist rant, going off about how Buffy [[InsaneTrollLogic may very well be in league with the First and has been plotting to feed the Potentials to Angel to get in good with it]], Buffy cuts the chain and decks her. Of course, Willow is just as pissed that Kennedy betrayed her trust.

This is the main reason she asks Bonnie (and, by extension, Ron, who has come back as a ghost that only Bonnie can hear) to join her on her next mission, as she wants someone there in case she goes "crazy" and does too much damage.
