Speaking about "forgetting" about Dawn's antics in the early seasons, let's not forget in Season 2 when she was at Parents Night with her mom. When Snyder was being a jerk and saying things about Buffy to Joyce, Dawn totally gave him a painful kick in the shins. I bet Dawn was relieved that Snyder was eaten at Buffy's graduation, it meant that he wouldn't be her principal when she got to high school!

Oh wow I didn't know he had an identical twin I thought they just The Parent Trapped it and just recorded him twice, I didn't even notice LOL

Nicholas Brendon did all the acting, but when both Xanders were seen together, his twin played the less talkative one.

I really like this episode and a think Kelly Donovan nicholas Brendon's twin brother did an amazing job playing Xander 2 as you named him lol

This episode is so funny and well crafted. The smushed nickel thing is a little puzzling, but otherwise everything fits together so nicely. I just realized that Suave!Xander was able to unload the gun with one hand because of course he would be the one to get the Halloween military training!
I also really like that scene between Buffy and Riley in his car. Buffy has to reassure Riley about his insecurities a lot, so it's nice to see Riley do the same for her.

Totally not about Buffy but is that a big bruise on your head or a shadow? 🤔💕

Exactly. I love how these last few episodes resolve their crisis they’re having with Giles now a watcher again and Xander moving on big with his life. It’s wholesome to see both characters who tried to find their purpose find their new step forward ❤️

Haha I kind of felt this was what they were going to go for. Xander’s the type to do something like this for and I wasn’t disappointed 😊

Everyone is getting their own place or somewhere they can set things up ❤️😊

I didn’t even know he was a twin of Nicholas. I would’ve thought the same trick with the two Willows would’ve been used here. That’s quite surreal 😁

"He's gonna get promoted, isn't he? Legit Xander's gonna have the worst luck, and clone Harris is gonna have the best day ever."
LIAM!!!!! *Kermit flails*

Ha! Your whole riff about Dawn at the start. Ah, you remembered her from the earlier seasons! ROTFL! I kinda love you right now. :D

No 2 xanders because the actors twin brother isn't an actor by trade ;) also this episode was beautifully timed storyline wise. With s4 being focused on the girls and their college life they needed these episodes fo re Xander and Giles to show them progressing their characters as well. Now they can focus on moving on to the next issue together knowing themselves more again

Xander totally gets the apartment--it was his credit that checked out, and his grown-up self that impressed people, and his promotion that makes it possible to pay the rent.

You are correct. His twin also filled on some episodes if Nick was sick.

If I recall correctly, Nicholas Brendon’s twin brother played opposite him when both Xanders were on screen together.
