I think she did have a ponytail. Her name was Sam(should have been Mary Sue). She wore black. That's all I remember about her. She's as memorable as Riley.

I think the reason they are married and on the same team is that 1)Joss doesn't give damn about regs and 2)they aren't the leading officers on the shows flagship team.

I happily ignore all eps with Riley...unless Spike is in it. Then I ignore all scenes with Riley...unless Spike is in it. Then, who the hell cares who else is in the scene?
