In this episode Dawn sees[/i] Ben morph into Glory. But at the end, she says the following: ~~~~~~~~~ DAWN: Wait. Ben. He was here, he was trying to help me. He... (stops, looks confused) I ... I think he might have left before Glory came ... (frowns) I can't, I can't remember. BUFFY: (takes her hand again) It's okay. Don't worry about it. Next time we see him, we'll thank him. (Dawn still looking puzzled) I have to get you back home though. Mom's freaking out. DAWN: (eyes widen) Oh. Is she mad about the whole fire thing? BUFFY: I think you sorta have a get-out-of-jail-free card on account of big love and trauma. DAWN: Really? Okay. Good. (Courtesy of Buffyworld.com) ~~~~~~~~~ I have never understood just why Dawn suddenly has selective amnesia about seeing Ben turn into Glory. I have always felt that this particular scenario could have been explained a lot better than it was(n't.) The writers could have explained it away somehow, but it wasn't really explained at all as I see it. Other opinions? Or explanations that I didn't get?  Alexandra |

I love when we hear from you. SECOND: I thought that this scene with Dawn was explained later in the season, when Spike figures out that Glory has some mojo going on, that makes any human who sees Ben turn into Glory (or vice-versa) quickly forget what they have seen. |

FIRST: Hi, Alexandra! I love when we hear from you. SECOND: I thought that this scene with Dawn was explained later in the season, when Spike figures out that Glory has some mojo going on, that makes any human who sees Ben turn into Glory (or vice-versa) quickly forget what they have seen. Indeed - even being told, flat out, that Glory is Ben, fades almost immediately from Xander's memory. To the point where Spike wants to smack him upside the head. And then when Glory's power starts to fade near the end, people start remembering. |
