Dude, a) it's been an awful fucking season, so the care-factor is slipping majorly (my theory is it's passive-aggressive "you don't love us enough to keep us on for another season so here's what you get"); b) I really thought the fucking episode was the preview to the final battle (so glad I was wrong about that); and c) Sarah Michelle Gellert's whittling away down to stick-size has left her nose looking almost too scary to watch--I'm repressing things to avoid seeing it.
