== Reception ==
A [[BBC]] reviewer praised actress "[[Dagney Kerr]]'s nicely paced performance as Kathy" and added, "it's encouraging to find the regular cast so casually back together again after the worrying indications in the last episode that it would be difficult for the writers to find reasonable excuses for them to continue working as a team. This episode generally dispenses with explanations, and flows better because of it."<ref>{{cite news |title=Living Conditions |work= [[BBC]] |location= London, England |agency= British Broadcasting Corporation |url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/buffy/indetail/livingconditions/reviews.shtml |
