Spoiler Slayer

I've had a number of requests for links to the Succubus Club interview with Steven DeKnight. I am not aware of any public links (most of this is transpiring on various mailing lists), so I'm not at liberty to post. If anyone knows of a public link, I'd be more than happy to put it up tomorrow.

While I'm still working on that, I've been running down some other information. I'm reluctant to post this information, since it would be spoilage originating from this site (and I do not have confidence in this source like I do some of my others). I'm busy trying to get some secondary confirmation so I can post it. In the absence of that, I might mention it tomorrow, but strictly as speculation.

Fraz posted the script for the radio promo for the finale at FanForum.

STRAP YOURSELF IN... BECAUSE UPN'S SEASON FINALE OF BUFFY IS GONNA BE ONE HELL OF A RIDE! WHEN BUFFY BATTLES HER MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY EVER... HER BEST FRIEND "I don't want to hurt you."

UPN MAY IT’S NOT JUST BIG IT’S MEGA

Also at FanForum (busy day), GoldenGirl posted some tidbits from the finale script.

A little Buffy/Willow dialogue…

Willow: And it is the last, you know...For all your fighting...thinking you're saving the world....

Buffy listens as Dawn stares at her
Dawn: Buf-
Buffy holds up a hand to silence her
Willow (os)--and in the end, I'm the only one that can save it
Buffy--by killing us?????

And later…

Willow: You won't go out without a fight and I really don't have time for one. But you should go out fighting...It was me that took you out of the Earth, well now, the earth wants you back!

Some lines from Anya, in reference to the demoness Willow summons…

Anya: Way up there in the hierarchy of she-demons. Her followers intended to use her effigy to destroy the world. They all died when the temple got swallowed up in the earthquake of '32

And later…

Anya: She's[Willow] going to drain the planet's life force, funnel its energy through Proserpexa's[sp?] effigy and burn the earth to a cinder.

Dawn, presumably trying to talk Buffy out of fighting Willow…

Dawn: You heard what Anya said, what Giles said
Buffy: I heard....and I don't care...I have to try!

TV Guide has reworded the summary for the finale.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Two to Go 60 min. Surprises abound as the Scooby Gang battles a rampaging sorceress in this stormy two-part sixth-season finale.

In Part 1, several of the Scoobies---who are still reeling from Tara's death---try to spring Jonathan and Andrew (Danny Strong, Tom Lenk) from the Sunnydale jail before the nerdy pair are annihilated by the vengeful spellcaster. Meanwhile, the headstrong Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg) seeks help from Rack (Jeff Kober), a Faustian magic broker. In the conclusion, which immediately follows, Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is assisted by a magical friend and the stage is set for a supernatural battle royal---and the emergence of an unlikely hero.
