Buffy spats with Spike, the Scoobies wallow in guilt, Tara accuses Willow of abusing magic, and Giles tells Buffy he can't solve her problems for her. As Giles announces his departure, Willow's latest spell backfires, causing everyone in the Magic Box to lose their memories. Wackiness ensues as they try to sort out their identities. As Buffy and Spike battle vamps, Spike is shocked to discover he's a vampire, and puzzles out his lack of bloodthirstiness before deciding he must be a noble vampire with a soul. Anya makes bunnies, Giles fences with a skeleton, and Xander dusts a vampire before stepping on Willow's magic crystal and breaking the spell. Memories return in a painful rush for Buffy, Tara, and Giles. A heart-broken Tara moves out, a conflicted Giles flies back to England, and Buffy turns away from Spike's help--until she has second thoughts and kisses him once again.
