Yes, those parts are true. *chuckles* There's Giles peeking at us. I do love him.
And this Willow is just as fresh as a peach. I could almost pluck her, and indeed Xander almost did! One thing I enjoyed from the beginning with Willow was that, even though her character morphed, she entered the series three-dimensional, whereas I always felt the others were truer to the standard 2D comic-book heroes they were created to be. Willow was always complex, and you really bring that out here. Though she is only what she is, there is the hint of so much more.
I loved Giles' minor worry over the propriety of 'young women' needing to be with him alone, the Slayer particularly. I recall, in S1, the scene at the Bronze where he's standing behind her with his hands on either side of hers, and he's bending over her. I thought even then, "That would never happen." It's nice to see him thinking here about these things! (This brings up another thought I had about S2, but I'm getting too wordy...)

I'll just say well done!
