snick_backupSo, you remember back when I was rewatching "Surprise" and got all excited about the flowers vs. not-flowers thing in Buffy's dream? (Recap: Dru complains that the flowers on the garlands on her party chairs are "All wrong." They're removed. Later, Buffy dreams of the factory, and the flowers are, again, gone. Dru has foreseen/effected reality.) I couldn't see the point of it, other than a nebulous Buffy-Dru dream connection.
Tonight I figured it out.
No flowers = deflowering. Duh.
Still no cohesive theory on exactly what the Dru-Buffy connection is about, but I'm even more convinced now that there is one. 'Cuz Buffy keeps dreaming that Dru is a danger to Angel, and yet it's Buffy who finally causes his downfall, both now and in "Becoming." There's some kind of Dru-as-Buffy's-shadow-self thing going on.
One of these days, I am totally writing some big dense Dru-Buffy fic.
