Principal Snyder tells Willow that she is going to be tutoring
one of the basketball team stars, Percy West in History. Later
at the library, Giles asks Willow to re-attempt breaking into the
Mayor's files. Faith and Wesley come in, after training on the
obstacle field and Wesley is a bit tired. Faith finds out about
Willow searching through the Mayor's files and informs him of it.
The Mayor presents Faith with a brand new, fully-furnished
apartment and then tells her that he plans to have some vampires
kill Willow so she is out of the way and unable to access his
computer.
Back at school, Oz meets up with Willow and informs her about a
gig the Dingoes had the other night that she didn't know about.
When Willow confronts Percy about tutoring him, she finds out that
Principal Snyder's real intentions were for her to do all of his
work for him. Buffy and Xander ask her if she recorded "Biography"
for them the other night, and Willow gets upset that she is
considered "Old Reliable," then storms away.
Anya finds Willow and asks her to help her with a spell which she
does. The two perform the spell in a empty classroom, and as it's
working, several scary images from "The Wish" flash before their
eyes. When the spell is over, and unsuccessful, Willow is very
frightened by what she saw and refuses to try the spell again. In an
abandoned warehouse, the Willow from "The Wish"
universe has appeared instead of the amulet.
The Evil Willow walks through the streets of Sunnydale and is very
confused by this world where people walk the streets happily at
night. She enters the Bronze where Percy finds her and orders her
to finish his paper, but instead she attacks him. Xander breaks
up the fight and Evil Willow recognizes him from her world only to
be disappointed by the fact that he's not the same. Buffy is
surprised by the new leather look for Willow and even more surprised
when she finds out that Willow is a vampire.
Later that night, Evil Willow is attacked by two vampires but they
don't expect her to fight back and kick their asses. She
holds one down and finds out who he works for by breaking his fingers.
Finally after breaking a few fingers, he acknowledges that he works
for her. Buffy and Xander return to the Library and inform Giles
about Willow and the three just sit there depressed until the real
Willow shows up. A cross has no effect on her which convinces them
that this is the real Willow, and then all three--including Giles--hug
her. Willow is terribly confused and scared by the fact that there is
a vampire walking around town looking exactly like her.
Anya tries to get a beer at the bar, claiming she's 1120 years old
but gets carded and she settles for a coke. Angel shows up, asking
Oz if he's seen Buffy and then Evil Willow and her minions break in,
taking over the Bronze. Angel leaves to get Buffy and Oz watches as
she demonstrates the good and bad of cooperating with the vampires by
killing a girl. Oz tries to talk to her, then Anya walks up and
presents the idea of getting back to Evil Willow's world.
Angel tells Buffy and the gang about Willow being dead, before he
notices she's standing right next to him. They all leave to go stop
what's going on at the Bronze but Willow goes back for something and
instead gets caught by the Evil Willow. The two banter back and
forth before finally Willow shoots her evil double with the dart gun
and locks her up in the library cage. At Buffy's suggestion, the
two Willow's switch clothes in order to save the people at the Bronze.
Willow, uncomfortable in the leather attire does her best to pose as
the Evil Willow while the rest of the Scooby Gang waits outside.
Cordelia arrives at the library, dressed up for Wesley, and finds
Evil Willow locked up in the cage. Before unlocking it though, she
opts for the chance to discuss Willow stealing Xander away from her.
After a long lecture, the evil Willow is nearly out of her mind and
apologizes. Finally when let out of the cage, she reveals that she's
a vampire and chases Cordelia through the school, finally ending up
in a bathroom. Wesley, having heard Cordelia scream shows up, convinces
the vampire to leave and is rewarded with a hug from Cordelia. She asks
what he's doing that night.
After Willow's not-so-convincing act at the Bronze, Anya convinces
the other vampires that their leader is a fake and then the party
is crashed by Buffy and Angel who start taking out vamps left and
right. Willow and Oz escape off to the side just in time for Evil
Willow to show up and attack. She throws Oz out of the way and then
starts choking Willow. Buffy breaks it up, but is stopped just before
she can stake the vampire. Willow wants to send her back to the
other universe and not kill her. They do just that and Evil Willow
goes back just in time for Oz to push her up against the broken piece
of wood and she manages to say, "Oh, fu..." before combusting into
dust.
The next day, Buffy asks Willow if she's like to go out that night,
but she can't because of all the homework she has. Percy shows up,
and before Willow can apologize for not doing his work, he presents
her with two papers on both President Roosevelt's. Evil Willow scared
him good, thus freeing up Willow's schedule.
