In "Bad Girls", Buffy gets a new Watcher, and Faith lures Buffy into reckless abandon.
Faith Edition Sixth Scale Figure
The 12 Faith figure is dressed as she appeared in the Season 3 episode "Bad Girls," complete with long-sleeved white shirt, black vest, and black leather pants. Faith includes a crossbow, wooden stake, and the knife given to her by the Mayor, later used against her by Buffy. And what Faith figure would be complete without the tattoo on her right arm.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
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. "Bad Girls" shows Buffy and Faith at their closest, going on a demon-killing rampage--until Faith accidentally kills a human being, and shows little regret for doing so. "Consequences" deals with the, well, consequences of the accidental murder, and also brings Buffy face-to-face with the mayor's evil plans for Sunnydale. Up until this point, Buffy and Faith had come to a somewhat wary understanding of each's personality; these two episodes show the deterioration of their friendship into something more deadly. "Bad Girls" also showcases the arrival of Faith's watcher, Wesley (Alexis Denisof), now of Angel fame. --Mark Englehart
