The appearance of the first, original Slayer in 4.22 Restless raises some interesting points not yet explored in the show. The episode is essentially an epilogue for the forthcoming season, and in the next episode (5.01 Buffy Vs Dracula), Buffy tells Giles that she wants to find out more about what it is to be a Slayer, which is the beginning of Buffy’s more spiritual period where she finally accepts that the Slayer is part of her and she can’t fight it.

funny thing… restless is like an epilogue to season 4 as well as a prologue to season 5 (and beyond).
it occurs to me that its a very similar position to the last episode of season 4 of Angel, which has a similar epilogue/ prologue style.

Agreed about this episode, but “Home”, the Angel episode…seems more to me like a prologue for season 5. All the loose ends of season 4 were tied up in the episode beforehand…except, of course, Connor.
