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."

• "He promised we'd be together, but...he was just using me. He never really loved— hanging out with us."

Anyanka is back in town and she's got her heart set on some tenderly vengeful hex action with her cold footed, flop sweated ex-fiancé. But will a 3/4 full bottle of whisky and a 240p webcam ruin it all? The Buffy Boys are mean to Xander in S06E18 "Entropy".

We come to the sad story of Buffy Summers, a normal girl formerly of Hemery High and now a long term patient of this facility who entertains a delusion - that she is the 'Slayer'. The Buffy Boys up the dosage in S06E17 "Normal Again".

Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:

• St. Elsewhere, east of Sunnydale: the post-modernist motivation of 'it's all a dream' tv plots
