A poltergeisty First?

[dragonyphoenix]

So I'm watching Conversations with Dead People in which both Dawn and Willow are visited by the First except for Dawn's visit there's this whole poltergeist thing going on. I thought the First had no physical aspect, which leads me to wonder how the poltergeist effect came about. Has anyone seen this explained?

Nope. I strongly suspect that the writers weren't absolutely certain where they were going at that point.

I'm going to say the First called in some favours and got a poltergeist buddy to spin some shit.

I think I remember something like someone was talking to Dawn (Tara or Willow? not sure who it was) about that poltergeist-thing in the end of the episode and saying that it also could have been really the ghost of Dawn's mum giving them a warning for the future.
Now I really think I have to rewatch the serie again. :)
What season and what episode was it again?

I always thought there was a real demon that Dawn was having to cast out here, either an agent of the first who was helping it make a convincing show of pretending to be Joyce fighting this demon to get to Dawn, or a good-guy/non-aligned demon who was trying to stop the first from manifesting to her as Joyce.

Random digression: I love her incantation here. "I cast you out with the strength of those who love me! I cast you out with the strength I have inside me!" Yeah, if you're hearing that from Dawn Summers, you better run!
