Watchers’ Retreat: An event held annually in The Cotswolds. There are lectures and other activities including riding, hiking, punting, and kayaking. It is a great honour to be invited to the Retreat. Giles has never been, but would dearly like to. Wells, Andrew: a closet gay, and the brother of Tucker Wells. One of the Trio. Whilst still in High School, Andrew trained flying monkeys to attack the school play. A nerdy little geek, it is doubtful that Andrew ever had an original idea in his life. In the Trio, Andrew’s talent was summoning demons. He had a crush on Warren, and did anything he was told. Completely without conscience, Andrew thought it was ‘cool’ that they got away with Katrina’s murder. Although unable to stand up for himself, he bullied Jonathon when Warren was around. Wells, Tucker: raised a pack of hellhounds, and fed them on cow brains ordered once a week from the butcher. Tucker trained them to attack people in formal wear, and planned to use them to kill everyone at the Prom. His only reason was that he couldn’t get a date. LOSER!! Tucker had a younger brother, Andrew Wells. See also David Metz. Wendell: Sunnydale High student who was attacked by tarantulas in class.

Believing that it was Willow herself, Percy became a model student until Graduation. What’s the what: what’s going on? Wheelchair: Buffy thought that she had killed Spike after collapsing a church organ on him, and burning down the building. Druscilla saved him from a fiery doom, but he spent several weeks recovering in a wheelchair. When you’ve visited de-caf land: when you’ve calmed down a bit. Whistler: Immortal demon sent down to even the score between good and evil. Looks human. Responsible for bringing Buffy to Angel’s attention in 1996, and dragging him out of his decades of brooding by giving him a purpose. White hats: the good guys. Whitmore, Mister: ‘Teen health’ teacher who gave the class an assignment to look after an egg. Was under the control of the Mother Bezoar, and the eggs actually contained bezoar offspring. Wicca: witch that follows the Wiccan faith. Wiccan group: Willow met Tara at the on campus wiccan group.

Wicked rowdy: boisterous. Wig: ‘Wig out’ - freak out or go crazy. See also ‘Wiggins’. Wiggins: ‘Having a wiggins’ – going nuts about something. Wig lady: regular customer at the Double Meat Palace. Seemed to be simply a little old lady in a bad wig. The wig really concealed a large, snake-like (OK. Penis. It looked like a really big penis. With teeth.) demon that grew out of her skull. The snakey thing paralyzed its victims so that it could eat them slowly. It paralyzed Buffy, but Willow killed it before it could do more than nibble her shoulder. Freud would have a field day with this one… Wilkins, Edna Mae: married Richard Wilkins in 1903. Died old and senile, and cursing her husband for his eternal youth. Wilkins, Richard: see The Mayor. Wilkinson, Doctor: Female doctor who tended to Buffy when she was hospitalized with flu. Willie’s Place: name of the demon bar run by Willie the Snitch.

Wyndam Pryce, Wesley: bespectacled Watcher sent to replace Giles after he was fired. Partly responsible for Faith going bad, although he acted on good intentions. At first an idiotic dweeb, Wesley later proved himself to be a good Watcher and loyal friend. He and Cordelia had a crush on each other, but this quickly went away when the couple kissed and found the experience lacking! Wesley was fired from the Council over his poor handling of the situation when Faith killed a human. He became a ‘rogue demon hunter’ for a while, before working with Angel Investigations in LA.
