column! The Paste writers are diving into the streaming catalogue to discuss some of our favorite classic series as well as great shows we’re watching for the first time. Come relive your TV past with us, or discover what should be your next binge watch below:’s third season, Eliza Dushku made her splashy debut as the rough-and-tumble Bostonian Slayer Faith Lehane in “Faith, Hope, & Trick,” and changed theas we knew it.
. Having grown up with an absent father and an addict mother, Faith’s Watcher acted as her only support system before she was ripped to shreds in front of her by the demon Kakistos. When she arrives in Sunnydale, she’s introduced to the mythical Buffy and her Scooby Gang, composed of her best friends Willow and Xander , her own Watcher Giles , her loving mother Joyce , and even Oz and Cordelia as a solid foundation of strength and support around Buffy.
In Season 3’s fourteenth episode, Buffy and Faith’s wild Slayer’s-night-out turns tragic when Faith accidentally stakes a human straight through the heart, setting her down that path of darkness in the wake of the Deputy Mayor’s murder. Allegedly, the original plan for Faith was for her toafter being overwhelmed with grief and self-disgust in the wake of the accident, which would have been a truly dark turn for her character.
Faith’s conscious decision to change and atone represents the series’ belief in humanity and the capacity for change present within all of us. While Angel and Spike —both reformed vampires that ultimately attempt to make amends for their years of torture and murder through aiding Buffy in her fight—have outside forces to steer them down a better path in Angel’s magical human soul and Spike’s unwanted brain chip , Faith’s path of darkness and redemption is done of her own volition each time.
In the series finale, after everything that’s happened between the two of them, it’s Faith who Buffy trusts to hold the line when she goes down. As Faith wields the scythe to protect Buffy and the rest of the now fully-fledged Slayers against the onslaught of ubervamps, it’s representative of everything she’s gone through to finally find herself redeemed and wholly worthy of being the champion of that weapon, even if only for a moment.
