Willow stumbles onto the scene right after the demon disperses. Her eyes are all black and her hands are crackling with red energy. I'm not sure what went down there, really. Maybe she zapped it dead, or maybe it vanished for some other reason. Buffy glares at Willow because she's all pissed that Willow would take her sister nasty places, and of course Buffy didn't at all leave her sister completely unsupervised in this very episode just to get laid, so I guess it's okay that she's all righteously angry about poor child care choices. After glaring some, Buffy goes to Dawn and decides to take her to a doctor. Willow rushes around fretting about Dawn's injury and apologizing, but Buffy isn't having it. She tells Willow to stay away from her sister. Willow ignores her and starts babbling apologies at Dawn, who slaps her with her good arm. Buffy and Spike escort Dawn away, leaving Willow behind them, sobbing that she's sorry. She even falls to the ground in a big fit of melodrama. Huh. I don't buy it. I think Willow's right at the stage where she's apologizing but also trying to make it everybody else's fault. "There was a demon! I told her to wear her seatbelt! I got some bad acid! The car had faulty steering!" Whatever. Buffy and Spike pause, and then Spike continues to escort Dawn as Buffy turns back for Willow. "Get up," she snarls. Willow would prefer to wallow, however, sobbing that she "screwed it up," including things with Tara. Buffy's like, yup, you did, and hauls Willow to her feet. Willow says she can't stop. Here's what gets me about that -- she didn't even TRY to stop. Have we even seen Willow try? No. Never. Feh. I don't want to be all Oldy McInspirational, but "how do you know you can't if you don't try?" Buffy says Willow can stop, and then Willow utters the most absolute crap line of a crap episode: "God, I need help!" Sigh. I'm too tired to even bitch. Thank goodness those last three anvils missed me, because I'm too exhausted to duck. "Help me please," Willow sobs, falling into Buffy's arms. Buffy hugs her, but her face looks cold.
