Methinks Miss Swithin was just an unwitting participant of a recreation of an attack that happened months earlier. Either that or, against others complaints, Xander implemented his first plan. I'm now wondering if Eva's eavesdropping sessions were set ups as well. Then again, maybe Dave just didn't like the setting Eva up in a fight scenario.

I'm particularly glad that Eva's turning tail and running at the first sign of trouble was handled with the proper seriousness. It could have been played for laughs and brushed off. Heaven knows the show did such things often enough. But it was a very pivotal point for the character. Was her secret more important than her sacred duty? Always beware the words "at all costs."

Can't wait for Xander to explain her new situation to her.
