Redirect to:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 5#ep96

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a television episode: This is a redirect from a television or radio episode title to a related work or lists of episodes. The destination may be an article about a related episode, a subsection or a standalone list of episodes.

To an embedded anchor: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to an embedded anchor on the redirect's target page.
- An {{anchor|(anchor name)}} or {{visible anchor}} template, a HTML element with id="(anchor name)", or an |id=(anchor name) parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links.
- Even though section headers of the general form ==(Header name)== are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}} instead.

From a cross-project redirect: This is a redirect from a title linked to an item on Wikidata. The Wikidata item linked to this page is Intervention (Q3212112).
- Use this template only on hard redirects – for soft redirects use {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-== Plot synopsis ==
-{{spoiler-about|some or all of the [[Whedonverse]] productions ([[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]], [[Angel (TV series)|Angel]], [[Fray]], etc.)}}
-When [[Buffy Summers|Buffy]] is worried that she is becoming unable to love, [[Rupert Giles|Giles]] sends her to a spiritual quest in the desert. In the mean time [[Warren Meers|Warren]] delivers the Buffybot that [[Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)|Spike]] commissioned in [[I Was Made to Love You (Buffy episode)|I Was Made to Love You]]. [[Xander Harris|Xander]] and [[Anya Jenkins|Anya]] see Spike and the Buffybot (whom they mistake for Buffy) have [[Sexual intercourse|sex]], and Xander decides to confront Spike. Spike is kidnapped by [[Glory (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)|Glory]]'s minions, because they think he is the key. Glory decides to torture Spike for the key's location. Buffy's spiritual journey leads her to [[the First Slayer]], who tells her that love will lead her to her gift, which is death. When Buffy comes back from her quest, the confusion between her and the Buffybot is soon sorted out, and they all head to rescue Spike. Buffy then pretends to be the Buffybot, as she approaches Spike to make sure he did not tell glory that [[Dawn Summers|Dawn]] is the key, and when she finds out he did not, she kisses him.
-== Arc significance ==
-The Buffybot, shown in that episode, plays a crucial role in [[The Gift (Buffy episode)|The Gift]] and [[Bargaining, Part One (Buffy episode)|Bargaining]]. In this episode, Buffy finds out that "death is ''[her]'' gift", which leads to her decision to die to save the world in [[The Gift (Buffy episode)|The Gift]]. This episode, like [[Something Blue (Buffy episode)|Something Blue]], foreshadows the romance between Buffy and Spike. The emphasis in this episode on the First Slayer as a beginning of the slayer tradition (and not just a hostile force, like in [[Restless (Buffy episode)|Restless]], foreshadows her role in season 7.
-== Production details ==
-* Thomas Wanker wrote the score for this episode.
-* In some scenes in Intervention, Xander was played by Kelly Donovan (his identical twin) because Nicholas was sick.
-== Quotes and trivia ==
-{{wikiquotepar|Buffy the Vampire Slayer#Intervention}}
-* In Intervention, the Buffybot pronounces "Giles" with a hard g (as in "guy-os"). Joss Whedon and Marti Noxon have said on several occasions that they get annoyed with so-called fans of the show when they pronouce "Giles" in this way.
-* Spike's dislike of [[Angel (vampire)|Angel]] manifests when we see the Buffybot's programmed opinion of Angel is that he is "lame. His hair grows straight up and he's bloody stupid."
-* Xander says of Buffy and the Buffybot in Intervention, "They're both Buffy". This is a reference to the catharsis of [[The Replacement (Buffy episode)|The Replacement]], also written by [[Jane Espenson]] who said on multiple occasions she enjoys adding references to episodes she wrote.
-* The desert in which the mountain lion leads Buffy on the vision quest in Intervention is the same desert which Buffy dreamed about in Restless. She says she remembers it. It’s also the first place she saw the First Slayer in Restless.
-* Giles's ritual for the vision quest resembles the [[Hokey-Pokey]].
-* Spike tries to convince Glory that [[Bob Barker]] is the key.
-* Xander calls Glory's minions [[hobbits]] with [[leprosy]].
-* Buffy asks if the quest is for finding a [[Holy Grail|grail]].
-* When Buffy sees the mountain lion that leads her on the quest, she says "[[Hello Kitty]]".
-* In this episode, Dawn reads [[Twist magazine]].
-* Dawn says, sarcastically, that Spike built the Buffybot to play [[Checkers]] with.
