(More customer reviews)The second volume in The Slayer Chronicles continues the story arc from the last half of the Third Season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where Faith becomes a Rogue Slayer and joins with the Mayor in his quest for the Ascension. In "Enemies," written by Douglas Petrie, the Mayor arranges to steal Angel's soul as a way of distracting Buffy. The plan appears to work, especially when Angelus takes a liking to Faith and the pair begin torturing a captured Buffy. "Earshot," by Jane Esperson, was the infamous episode that the WB decided not to air the day after the Columbine tragedy. The plot has to do with Buffy killing a demon and ending up with the power to read minds. Before all the voices start to drive her insane she hears someone planning to kill everybody at Sunnydale High. However, the reason the network was nervous about the episode, which Sarah Michelle Gellar picked as one of her favorites because of what it says about surviving the horrors of high school, was Xander's off handed comment about sometimes thiking about opening up on the school with a gun.
"Earshot" is not really important to the Faith/Mayor story arc but it has to be included because it is a footnote to a national tragedy. The Vamp Willow episodes of "The Wish" and/or "Doppelgangland" might be more popular with Buffy fans, but you have to respect Whedon's decision to include these episodes. Still, it would be nice if they filled in some of the gaps from the first three seasons by having tapes focusing on Willow, Xander, Giles, etc., the same way they do with the paperback novelizations of episodes.
