"Out of Mind, Out of Sight" (1.11)

-Weapons for history class, eh? Buffy's kind of a crappy liar for someone who has to lie as often as she does.

-I love that Cordy's into The Merchant of Venice. Oh, that's right--this is the episode where Cordelia starts become multi-dimensional and whatnot. Good stuff.

-Hey! The boys' locker room has windows! Are windows in locker rooms covered by Title IX?! Someone go and check. I'll wait.

-Good thing Corelia's date is a jerk. That way we don't have to feel too bad when he gets the bejesus beaten out of him by the Floating Bat of Misdirected Anger.

-Xander and Willow can unfortunately come off kind of douchey when they go all inside jokey BFFs in front of Buffy. She's isolated enough, kids. No need to rub her face in it.

-Apparently, while Buffy has been honing her Slayage skillz, Xander and Willow have been practicing their diversion techniques.

-LOOK! Dude, you're invisible.

-Buffy: Willow, I need you to compile a list of the kids from Sunnydale High that are dead or missing.

Willow: Sure thing. See you IN A THOUSAND YEARS!

-I feel gypped that my memories aren't grainy and/or sepia-toned, too.

-Harmony's first brush with death. Sorry, sweetie. It'll only take marginally better next time.

-That band room is going to start seeing a lot of action.

-There's a girl on campus who can become invisible? Quick, check and see if Sue Storm is registered at Sunnydale! Ha-cha!

-Willow's wearing a Scooby-Doo t-shirt. Hee!

-A) Why is Cordy working on her dress at school? and B) What is that one weird-o doing with a mobile? Is Cordy supposed to hang it from her skirt or fashion it into some sort of hat?

-Angel's back! And he's more brood-tacular than ever!

-This one time, in the band room... I'm sorry! But what with Alyson Hannigan being there, and invisi-girl playing the flute... Sorry. Never again.

-Why would Marcie need to kill Buffy? Even if Buffy did turn her into the completely ineffectual Sunnydale cops, Marcie could still easily hide from them. SHE'S INVISIBLE!

-Okay, invisi-bitch. I'll give you your attacks on Mitch and Harmony--they're lame--but Mrs. Miller is cool and helpful. The well of sympathy, she has run dry.

-LISTEN! To what? Is it time already for your psychopath rant?

-Buffy: There's an invisi-chick after you.

Cordelia: Whatevs. Make her stop!

I love that whenever Buffy or the Scoobies try to lay the crazy out for people who live there or go to the high school, they're usually pretty unfazed. It shows that they don't live in a bubble. They have memories and the things that happen to them happen for always, not just until next week. It's one of my favorite things about this show.

-Where did Cordy's bodyguards go?

-Behold! Cordy and her hidden depths.

-Now Marcie's trying to kill the Scoobies?! You know, I'm just spit-balling here, but I think the reason no one wanted to hang with Marcie was because she was AN ASSHOLE!

-Buffy can leap the school fence in a single bound, but she can't jump four feet in the air to grab Cordy's ankles? I'm just sayin'...

-How can the Bronze still be open? Their insurance premiums must be through the roof!

-LEARN! Learn what? Thanks, but I don't think anyone's really interested in taking your Insanity + Hellmouth vibes = Invisibility seminar.

-I was thinking that it's odd that no one who works at the Bronze ever shows up early or works late, but the more I thought about it, I'm pretty sure that must be number one in their WHAT NEVER TO DO WHEN YOU WORK AT THE BRONZE training manual. Number two is never leave with a strangely charismatic patron. Number three is be sure to set out the fresh croissants when you open.

-Miss Carpenter, I know this is pre-Botox, so I will forgive you your non-frozen frozen face this one time. What was a poor actress to do in the days before she could model herself after the likes of Nicole Kidman?

-Damn it, Cordy, your face is frozen, but your hands aren't, right? Stop being useless and free yourself!

-Action Angel to the rescue! Now with Codex!

-Man, there's one hell of a cross-breeze in the Bronze.

-I forgot that the FBI comes for Marcie. I guess we can assume this is pre-Initiative.

-The classroom is full of inivisi-kids, so how did Marcie know which desk was empty? Can the invisible see each other? If so, what else can they see? Does that mean they're simply on another plane of existence? Then why can they interact with us? Do they represent a bridge between planes? My head hurts.

-Marcie is another dropped plot line. Marcie and the other invisi-assassins, weren't mentioned in season four, were they? I'll let you know.
