YMMV / Angel S01E19 "Sanctuary"

• Signature Scene: The most remembered moment from this episode is Buffy punching Angel...and getting a punch right back, Angel then highlighting the Double Standard that Buffy is shocked at being hit.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: This is the last time that Buffy and Cordelia appear in the same episode, but they don't have a scene together. It would have been nice to see them part ways on good terms and for Buffy to acknowledge how her former rival has grown as a person.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: The episode frames Buffy as the bad guy in the scenario despite what Faith did to her in the previous episode - she switched their bodies, attempted to steal Buffy's life, condemned Buffy to pay for her crimes (which by now amount to far more than just having accidentally killed Alan), raped both Buffy and Riley by tricking Riley into having sex with her while she was in Buffy's body, assaulted Buffy's friends on numerous occasions and attacks Buffy-in-Faith's-body by the close of the episode. While Angel is right to call Buffy out that she wasn't just worried about his safety but rather wanted revenge on Faith, Buffy isn't necessarily wrong to expect Faith to answer for what she did since previous attempts at talking her down had failed. At the very least, the show seems to validate Buffy's claims somewhat by having Faith turn herself in at the end. Angel also admits to himself that he messed up, and goes to apologize to Buffy in "The Yoko Factor".
