In which season does Normal Again appear? I'm most familiar up through season 4. I also have owned season 5 for a while and Dad just got me season 6 for Christmas. (We exchange at Thanksgiving because he visits my sister and her kids in December.) While I've seen all the BtVS episodes at least once, I don't like seasons 5 - 7 as much as the earlier seasons and am not as up on them.

All of your points about Southern California are fascinating. Being from the east coast myself, they aren't things that I ever would have thought of.

Sunnydale comes off almost like it is a place that was dreamed up as a Habitrail for the slayer. It’s a place where she belongs. So you're suggesting that, at least in your story, Sunnydale itself was created as a place where Buffy would belong? *huge grin* That's awesome!
