Their restored romance was cut short when Tara was killed by a stray gunshot shot by Warren Mears, sending Willow into a downward spiral of grief and revenge. At first, it seemed that marrying Darryl would give her comfort, but she eventually realizes that he isn't the one for her, just as she isn't the one for him. Willow decides to move on from Darryl's death by going after Galen, who has been resurrected by the demons during their war against the Slayer and her friends. Using her new powers, she manages to kill Galen again, this time permanently. She then turns her attention to the newly reborn Sunnydale High School student, saying that she will not rest until every demon is dead. It is at this point that we are told that Darryl has also died. Without her friends by her side, Willow takes out her pain on those who have harmed them. First, she goes after the mayor, who had sent her away to live with an uncle after she turned 18. When he doesn't die, she burns down his office building. Next, she seeks out Adam and Eve, who had created the demons in the first place. When they don't die either, she uses their own son, Cain, as a human sacrifice.
