Spike is back in town on a whirlwind one-episode-stop to coerce Willow into a love spell that'll win Drusilla back. A magic shop, a 1959 vintage car, and at least four relationships will be ruined before he's done. But what's a little emotional trauma between friends? The Buffy Boys dive into the empty swimming pool of S03E08 "Lovers Walk".
Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:
- The Platonic Slayer: The climax of Buffy's tragic romance and its heralding of the core Buffy format
- Vamp: is it camp? - Spike's defanging and the comic turn of the soulless undead
- Gateway Witchcraft: addiction allegory in Willow's sliding magical and moral standards
- ""There will be no 'bottle in face', and there will be no having of any kind with me!"
