EPISODE 42: LOVE AND OTHER TROUBLES (S03E08 “Lovers Walk”)
“You’ll fight, and you’ll shag, and you’ll hate each other ‘til it makes you quiver, but you’ll never be friends”
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!"
