Jackboots and Bubblegum

I also thought that Giles going along with Xander's purported amnesia for his actions in The Pack was a pretty bad example of a male role model. It set an early precedent for Scooby denial.Especially for Xander , who went on to deny other things, like not admitting he was the cause of the singing demon even though he suspected it was connected to the people burning to death. He showed that because he specifically asked Giles if they were connected.

Very well thought out.
