I'd seen the Dracula-Buffy comparison, but the Buffy-Aiko contrast is a good thought to highlight. Two issues ago Buffy was talking about Satsu as her likely successor, but now she's slapping her down in public for daring to make suggestions. Perhaps the idea of being supplanted is nice in theory, but something to be resisted and avoided in practice? Just like, I assume, the thought of spending her life partying in Rome and going shopping for shoes was attractive after 'Chosen', but in the end Buffy's conscience and her belief that only she could do things right drew her straight back to the Slaying.
