Official Description:
Cora comes clean after a night spent together with Thess; her past is tied to the enemy in ways filled with the demonic and arcane, and it’s too much for Thess to bear. Thess’s destructive power is dangerously out of control, with not much left of the boardwalk as Soren’s gang approaches…And with Thess keeping the mantle of the Slayer, what steps will Buffy take to heal her trauma and start a new chapter?

Gilly gives us a very “Angel is a vampire” style twist that sends Thess reeling, and an emotional Thessaly is dangerous for everyone. Anya’s suspicions turned out to be spot on, but that doesn’t mean she is happy with being right. hess going over the edge turns out to be the kick in the butt that Buffy needs to deal with her inner demons, but will she arrive in time to rescue Thessaly from herself?
This issue reminds me of watching the dark Willow chapter of the Buffy series, which with Thess being her daughter, is s fantastic node to original Buffyverse. With this issue being the second to last in the five-part series, Gilly and her team did not hold back the punches. The unveiling of the big bad, the betrayal by a loved one, Buffy finally ready to let go of her Slayer identity to become the watcher Thess needs, it is clear that we are being prepared for dramatic conclusion coming up in issue 5. I can’t wait to see what is in store for our Scooby gang. Looks like the slayer got beeped and it’s time to save the world…again!
