And we're only half-way through the ep. Willow has an axe. That's not a good thing. Oh well, it's not important, because everything's happening too fast for you to wonder about that for a while. And still, I was happy.
Black magic is bad.
I think this is the point at which I finally felt Xander had paid enough for this dumb stunt. Scared out of his mind is one thing, dead is another. That the chick mob saves him after they nearly killed him before is just perfect symmetry. You can now breathe. Even the insult is perfect, since Xander's used to that, and he would rather have her insulting him to his face as his girlfriend than ignoring him completely, like she was trying to do earlier.
