Season 2 Episode 15: Phases
And the Sunnydale dating curse strikes again when the Slayer and the Slayerettes find out that Willow's boyfriend Oz is a werewolf and there's a hunter in town determined to add yet another Werewolf kill to his tally.
It's hard enough running around in the woods trying to stop the hunter but with the full moon looming they also have to contend with one very hairy werewolf who has a serious case of bite me.
Fav Quote: Willow: Great. I'll give Xander a call. What's his number? Oh, yeah, 1- 800-I'm-Dating-A-Skanky-Ho.
Fashion: Giles is still rockin' the sweater vest and tie look while Willow is happily flaunting her yellow happy face pack back.

It's Valentine's Day and Xander and Cordelia's romance hits the skids when Cordelia dumps him on the big night due to being worried about dating him and losing her 'popular' girl status.
Xander, naturally of course, doesn't take his dumping well and in a mad scheme of revenge gets Amy the witch to put a love spell on Cordelia. Only thing is it makes every women in a 100 mile radius suddenly desperate to be Xander's one true love, even if it means killing him and everyone other woman to prove their love.
Personally I would have just gone with the time honoured tradition of eating my weight in ice cream and chocolate while crying over sad movies.
Fav Quote: Drusilla: How do you feel about eternal life?
Xander: We couldn't just start with a coffee? A movie, maybe?
Fashion: It's the blue shirt brigade with both Xander and Giles looking mighty swoony. Xander also wears black again and can I just say that whoever in charge of his wardrobe for this episode should totally dress him all the time. On the other side what the hell was Buffy thinking? Short short leopard skirt, v neck black top and messy blonde hair made her look like a 1970s barmaid at some divey bar.

Angelus continues his torment of Buffy by stalking her and friends and freaking them out with the 'love' tokens he leaves behind. Meanwhile Miss Calendar is trying to make amends for betraying them all and is working on a spell to restore Angelus's soul.
Angelus though has other plans and I'm left a sobbing mess as he shows them what passion is really about.
Can we just have a hug now?
Note: The filming of this episode is just so spot on especially the emotional scenes and Anthony Head's (aka Giles) just nails it in every way.
Fav Quote: Angelus: Passion is the source of our finest moments: the joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief.
Fashion: And the 1970s barmaid look continues - this time with a tiger striped top and white pants. Just no on all accounts.
Body Count: 3 residents of Sunnydale and 1 teacher
Buffy falls ill with a serious case of the flu and ends up in the one place she truly fears... hospital. But even a sick Slayer is never off duty as she finds herself battling a monster that only kids can see.
Is it all a hallucination? Is there really something lurking the halls and killing children?
Fav Quote: Buffy: I'll check Backer's office. See if I can find any post-its marked, "Why a monster might want me dead."
Fashion: As it mostly takes place inside a hospital there's not much going on in the fashion stakes. I'll just keep on swooning over Giles and his glasses. Okay?
