1. Mary Sue is YMMV. 2.) Being nice to people doesn\'t make a Mary Sue. 3.) She has wedding experience so she can give advice.


* MarySue: Almost inarguably Riley's wife, Sam. She gushes over Buffy as the Slayer, she compliments Willow (who was, at the time, trying to hate her) on giving up magic, and she continually gives Xander wedding advice. Not to mention that she and Riley are apparently extremely happy. Given that the whole point of the episode is to make Buffy feel like crap, it's understandable, but in practice she comes off TOO perfect.
** Plus effortlessly beating up the demon that Buffy and Riley ''together'' were having trouble with. Note that she's a normal human.
