The third season of Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer was marked by the arrival in Sunnydale of renegade slayer Faith (Eliza Dushku), a moody loner who seemed to like her calling just a little bit too much--she definitely got a certain pleasure out of staking vamps that went beyond mere job satisfaction. While Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) was always wary of Faith, the two developed a deep friendship and appreciative rapport--that is, until the evil mayor of Sunnydale (Harry Groener) tapped into Faith's dark side and lured her into his plot to take over the world, first as a double agent spying on Buffy, then as out-and-out nemesis. And as the mayor's ascension approached--which happened to fall on Sunnydale High's graduation day--Buffy and Faith's battles got nastier and nastier, as Buffy attempted to wrestle with her dark side (literally and figuratively), save the world and her friends, and keep her lover Angel (David Boreanaz) out of Faith's evil clutches. "Enemies" details Faith's attempts to seduce Angel away from Buffy, by stealing both his body (hubba hubba!) and his soul. Fearing what may happen to Angel if he crosses over to the dark side again, Buffy is heartbroken by Angel's conversion--or is she? The controversial "Earshot" (pulled from its initial broadcast due to its similarities to the Columbine massacre) is one of Buffy's best episodes ever, mixing pathos, humor, and suspense as Buffy develops the ability to read minds, and discovers someone is thinking very seriously about mass murder at Sunnydale High. Jonathan (Danny Strong), Buffy's nebbishy classmate who got his own Buffy "episode" the next year, plays a pivotal role. --Mark EnglehartCustomer reviews:  Enemies/Earshot are the 2 best episodes., 2003-04-10
Enemies (Season 3): This is the first real Faith/Buffy enemy acknowledgement.
This episode is packed with love, betrayel, hate, and a surprise twist at the end!
Earshot (Season 3): This is where Buffy gains the ability to read minds. She discovers interesting secrets and a plot for mass murder.
One of the funniest episodes ever! This set is a must own! Suspense and humour - everything you could ask for, 2001-12-10
Enemies - Here we see Faith in her quest to steal Angel's soul. Or is it that simple? Eliza Dushku's consistently brilliant performance as troubled Faith is especially brilliant here as she first conveys sorrow at Angel's rejection of here sexual advances and later taking solace in her villainous streak. This episode is also notable because we get to see Angelus again, which is always a treat. Obviously, there's no need to mention Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is outstanding as ever in her reaction to Angel's conversion. All three principal actors are particularly mesmerising in a pull-the-rug-from-under-you endings. Earshot - This controversial episode was pulled in the U.S. due to its similarities to the Columbine Massacre. It's one of the best 'Buffy' episodes made - Jane Espenson is a true genius - as Buffy's new 'gift' to read minds is first used for humour before she's let into the trauma and insecurities of the entire school. It's totally involving, with several essentially supporting roles being given a full character with a matter of lines. Danny Strong as Jonathan is good value also, as the spurned geek. Plus, the ultimate message - that everyone, be they pretty, popular, or athletic, experience pain - doesn't seem cheesy. Customers who bought this item also bought:
