The Witch



Synopsis:

Buffy faces something she's never faced before. When during cheerleading tryouts a girl bursts into flames. She eventually discovers that Amy Madison's mother switched bodies with her and was hurting cheerleaders in order to live out her dream again of being a cheerleader. After the switched version of Amy casts a spell on Buffy that will surely kill her, they go to talk to her mother. Catherine Madison, Amy's mother, tells them that her mother had switched their bodies and had wanted to re-live her cheerleading experience. But her plan is foiled when Giles reverses all her spells. Right after her spells are reversed she tries to destroy Amy with a spell and Buffy uses a mirror to deflect it right back at Catherine. Catherine Madison disappeared unknowningly into the cheerleading trophy being displayed in the highschool.

Editorial:


In this episode, Xander starts to admit that he likes Buffy. Even though we already knew of his original attraction to Buffy in "Welcome to Hellmouth", but that was normal. Now he is trying to ask her out and giving her jewelery. I foresee Xander asking Buffy out, but Buffy is more into Angel then Xander. I foresee rejection.
