I assume that Roden picked Gigi because her influence and money would be useful in setting up an oppositional force. Also, her spoiled rotten nature would prime her to believe Roden's story.
I suppose the money belong to her parents. As to being spoiled - that trait makes her hard to deal with. But I tend to agree that Gigi isn't different from other slayers and Roden picking her is due to the metaphor, not the story.
I tend to agree with stormwreath that Faith will try to convince Gigi not to go after Buffy, but then Faith will end up killing her. I don't think that would take more than two issues, given how quickly (and convincingly, IMO) the girls bonded this time. (I'm not sure that's what you were referring to, though).
No, I meant his idea that they could be half-sisters (there is a link to his post in the text). It sounds very soapy, but, in the end, BtVS is just a big epic soap-opera. :)
Re: the plot: I don't think she killed the first gargoyle with the knife...just got him to stop biting her. She killed them both when she goaded them into crashing into each other ("Rock...meet hard place").
Obviously, I'm still very unexperienced in reading comics. Because I stared at the panels for a long time but couldn't figure out what the hell is happening on them. :)
