People Buffy thinks are to blame for what happens to Faith in Season 3 (at least before the events of Who Are You?):

• Buffy “whether I like it or not she’s my responsibility” Summers
• Maybe Wesley a little bit, while Buffy remembers he exists

People the writers of the show think are to blame for what happens to Faith in Season 3:

• Faith (it’s hard not to hear the authorial voice leaking through when Willow tells her she “made her choice” and insists it ultimately doesn’t matter that “some people think you had a lot of bad breaks”)

People who are actually to blame for what happens to Faith in Season 3, based on the events we actually see play out on screen, and in no particular order:

• Gwendolyn Post
• Giles (remember “the Council has approved our request. Faith is to stay here indefinitely. I’m to look after you both until a new Watcher is assigned”? Because Giles doesn’t)
• Kakistos
• Wesley
• the Mayor
• maybe Angel a little bit if we’re being brutally honest (the speech he gives her in Consequences is, uh, not good!)
• Faith herself (and yeah, that’s the big one)

People who Faith would like to blame for what happens to her in Season 3:

• Buffy
• Her mom
• Allan Finch
• Buffy
• Buffy’s mom
• Buffy’s watcher
• Buffy’s friends
• Buffy’s boyfriend
• The people of Sunnydale in general, who keep talking about how important Buffy is, when they should be talking about–
• Buffy
• Buffy
• Buffy

People who Faith ultimately blames for what happens to her in Season 3:

• Faith
