Shouldn't it though? It should definitely be a thing. I just finished power watching S7 and I realized I was disappointed by the lack of The First/Dawn interaction and it just, wouldn't this have been an awesome way to correct that? Even if it was just an episode. Even if it was a lie, used to get Dawn on her side or serve as a distraction to Buffy and the crew. I would have loved everything about it. (Though I'd prefer if it was true and The First did have the power/knowledge to draw out that side of her, because, well. Again. It needs be a thing.)
But yay! I'm glad I'm not alone in this. There was just so many places they could have gone with it, never having to make her more powerful than Buffy (since she's the hero of the story) but still reminding her that she is this powerful thing trapped within a teenage girl.
