Do you want to wait till Tuesday? We don’t want to wait for Tuesday. Here’s a brief rundown of how the rest of the season shakes out:
6.18 “Entropy.”
Teleplay by Drew Greenberg (“Smashed,” “Older and Far Away”). (Airs April 30.) It’s an Anya-centric affair as the spurned Magic Box proprietress returns to vengeance demon mode and sets about evening the score with Xander. She gets her vengeance in an unexpected way: by impulsively bedding fellow spurnee Spike – as the Nerds of Doom watch! Buffy and Xander find out. Willow and Tara return to full coupledom. Buffy tells Dawn that Spike has been more than just a friend.
6.19 “Seeing Red.”
Teleplay by Steve DeKnight (“All the Way,” “Dead Things”). (Airs May 7.) At episode’s end, Warren accidentially shoots one of the Scoobies to death. Jonathan and Andrew find themselves tossed in stir.
6.20 “Villains.”
Teleplay by Marti Noxon (“Bargaining, Part I,” “Wrecked”). (Airs May 14.) Willow, enraged by the Big Scooby Death (BSD), heads for the Magic Box, puts Anya in stasis and returns to the darkest magicks (turning Willow’s eyes and hair black) before she goes on the hunt for Warren. Buffy, who died last year, also takes a bullet, but Willow is now able to make the slug go away. A Warren-bot decoy fails to keep Willow from tormenting the real Warren (with Katrina’s corpse, among other things) and killing him. Meanwhile, Spike arrives in sunny Africa to get his behavior-modifying brain-chip neutralized – or die trying.
6.21 “Two to Go.” 6.22 “Grave.”
Teleplays by Doug Petrie (“Flooded,” “As Your Were”) and David Fury (“Life Serial,” “Gone”), respectively. (Both air May 21.) Willow takes off after Warren’s fellow Nerds of Doom. Giles returns, Spike returns, Buffy employs some very tough love, and young Ms. Rosenberg comes to her senses a little too late.
