Willow blasts in through the front door of Der Zauber Kasten. All the light bulbs in the place explode as she strides by. She turns to Goodwife Anya, who's behind the counter sporting the latest in Pilgrim-inspired fashion -- a black top with a wide white Peter Pan collar and cuffs. Willow wants the "black arts books," and Anya says that although she acknowledges "something terrible has happened," she won't let Willow have the books. Willow freezes Anya with a wave of her hand and then uses magic to call all the black arts books down off the mezzanine. Hey, just where we were at the end of last season when Willow went all "I. Owe. You. Pain," after Tara got brain-sucked by Glory. No wonder I was feeling so very deja-vu. Season Seven! Willow freaks out and goes all black magic in Episode 20 when something happens to her girlfriend! It's new! Different! Something you've never seen before! Except, like, the past two years. The books flutter down to the table like a flock of evil birds, and Willow goes to them. A few volumes are open on top of the pile, and she plunges her hands into one of them. The lettering from the pages flows and wraps up her skin, sliding up her arms, under her shirt, and finally up over her face. This is one of the nicest effects in an episode that relies heavily in special effects, most of which fail tragically. As the lettering glides over Willow's eyes, they go black; the lettering then continues to scroll up over her forehead and through her hair, which also turns inky dark. "That's better," husks Willow in a voice much deeper than usual, as Anya looks on, horrified.
