Buffy and Giles are trying to persuade Spike to tell them more about The Initiative; Willow suggests using a spell to force him to tell the truth and promises to get the necessary ingredients... unfortunately she still hasn't got over Oz's departure and tries casting a spell to help her move on. Somewhat inevitably it doesn't work as planned. At first she thinks it just failed but it soon becomes obvious that it is working in a different way. Things she says about other people start coming true although she doesn't realise this. The effects are mixed to say the least; Xander is put in danger as demons are drawn to him; Giles loses his sight and Buffy and Spike get engaged!
This episode really is a lot of fun; Willow's spell causes enough danger to require some good demon fighting action scenes but the real highlight is how it effects Buffy and Spike... it is so wrong it is hilarious! The cast is on great form; especially Alyson Hannigan who does a great job portraying Willow as she attempts to get over Oz; and Sarah Michelle Gellar and James Marsters who are so much fun as Buffy and Spike. The episode has a really good resolution that doesn't go quite as one might expect. Overall a great episode that provides laughs, excitement and character development.
