I know, I know. And I can’t understand anything. Not what happened, and not what you must be going through. Willow, if you do this, you let Warren destroy you, too.
— Buffy

In the wake of Tara's death, Willow's tremendous power, skill, and rage is set to exact bloody revenge on Warren. But he has an ace-in-the-hole in which he has absolute faith - he is a man.

The Buffy Boys see how that works out in S06E20 "Villains".

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include: 

  • The protean metaphor of magic - lesbianism, addiction, metastasizing into queer wrath

  • Structural collapse of narrative as Willow crosses boundaries personally and in genre convention

  • The vanishing point of humanity in the Buffyverse and when it's okay to kill, actually

  • "You've got to stop doing this. This dying thing is funny once, maybe twice."
