That wasn’t vengeance. It was solace.
It’s one (very difficult) thing to bring a comedic character such as Anya to life and make it feel/seem natural, but it is another thing to give this character such depth and vulnerability like in this scenes. Amazing. I’m still surprised Emma Caulfield hasn’t gotten her own show yet!

ANYA: Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?
XANDER: Guys…
WILLOW: The way you behave—
ANYA: Nobody will tell me.
WILLOW: Because it’s not okay for you to be asking these things!
ANYA: But I don’t understand! I don’t understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she’s, there’s just a body, and I don’t understand why she just can’t get back in it and not be dead anymore. It’s stupid. It’s mortal and stupid. And, and Xander’s crying and not talking, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch ever, and she’ll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why.
One of my favorite scenes ever! Gets me every time. :(
