Willow

Buffy, episode 4.06

("Wild at Heart")

 

 

Vague storyline that bears little in common with the actual storyline... :-)

 

Buffy and a vamp are wailing on each other. They run to a more secluded place.
Buffy - Thanks for the relocate. I perform better without an audience.
Buffy begins to kick crap out of the vampire.
Buffy - You were thinking, what, a little helpless co-ed before bed?
You know very well, you eat this late...
(Buffy stakes him) You're gonna get heartburn.
Buffy - Get it? Heartburn? Vamp dusts, without a reaction.
Buffy - That's it? That's all I get? One lame-ass vamp with no appreciation for my painstakingly thought-out puns. I don't think the forces of darkness are even trying. I mean, you could make a little effort here, you know? Give me something to work with.

Spike is watching, from afar.
Spike - Watch your mouth, little girl. You should know better than to tempt the fates that way. 'Cause the big bad is back, And this time, it's...

Spike - Urrgh! Aaaahhh!

The commandos drag Spike away.

Willow is saying the Bronze is more fun. It is "nice and familiar. It's like a big comfy blankie."
Oz says he thought he was her big comfy blankie.
Willow replies "Aw, you're my my person blankie. This is my place blankie."

Giles comes in, says it's been ages since he's been to a gig. Latté anyone? On me?

Buffy - So much for your predictable blankie theory, Will.
"Sorry!"

Willow is in shock. Buffy did well, Willow said "This is so unfair! You made me jealous of you, academically. Buffy!"

More class discussions. Check out that shirt!

Willow still jealous. Okay, she's back...

Willow sitting with Veruca as Oz arrives. Then she has to live down a mistake over amplifier names.

Full moon. Oz time.

Willow walks in and talks with Oz, but it doesn't go well.

So she asks Xander for a male opinion, with a lamely disguised description of her situation.

Xander gives her something to think about...

...as long as that thing isn't Veruca.

Veruca comes to liberate Oz from his cage, only as they turn wolf, he drags her in, into safety.

Willow comes in, and sees the two of them naked on the floor.

"Oh...my...God! Oh my God!!!"

"I knew, you jerk! And you sat there, and you told me everything was fine. And that's as bad as... as..."
Oz - I know how it feels, remember?
"Oh... So what, this is payback? I had this coming?"

Willow leaves. She walks away, down Sunnydale's only high street, straight into the path of an oncoming car...
Buffy runs to save her, but gets there too late. Luckily, for Willow, Riley was around to help.

Willow is sittling on bed. Buffy says Do you want me to get you something before I take off? Kleenex? Chocolatey... chocolate anything?
Willow declines, so Buffy leaves to take care of Veruca.

Willow goes to the chemistry lab and creates a spell to "Let them find no love or solace. Let them find no peace as well."
And "Let this image seal his fate, not to love, only hate."
But, it is a cruel thing to do to Oz. Through the pain, she still has feelings for him, and can't go through with the spell.

Then Veruca comes in. Wow, for a minute there I thought you might actually play rough.

wah23.jpeg; 22K

 

Veruca, wolfie, wants to tear Willow apart. However Oz, wolfie, is getting set to tear her (Veruca, not Willow) apart.

It is gory, messy, and violent. Oz turns on Willow (he's a wolf, he doesn't know any better) but Buffy darts him unconscious before he can get to her.
This, still, is very traumatic for Willow.

Establishing shot, this is Sunnydale.

Willow goes in on Oz nex day and finds him packing.

wah27.jpeg; 18K

 

An unhappy discussion. Willow finds Oz is going to leave, go someplace away from humans. And he has never loved anything other than Willow.

Outside, Oz drives away. Leaving Willow standing in an empty room.
