Willow and Tara are busy kissing and making up, Anya is too distracted
by her Xander woes to grant wishes, and Buffy tries and fails to
patch things up with Xander. Dawn's concerned visit to Spike adds
to his guilt over his tryst with Anya, and later he goes to Buffy
to apologize. When a battle-weary Buffy makes it clear she can't
love him, an emotionally fragile Spike loses control and tries to
force her into having sex--until she stops him with a kick. Warren
obtains mystical orbs that imbue him with super-strength, which
comes in handy when Buffy interrupts the Troika's robbery of an
armored car. Warren nearly trounces Buffy, until she smashes his
orbs. Warren escapes, but Andrew and Jonathan are arrested. Remorseful
and conflicted over his actions, Spike leaves town. The next morning,
Xander and Buffy are mending fences and talking about their troubled
friendship when a vengeful Warren shoots and wounds Buffy. A stray
bullet kills Tara, and as a distraught Willow cradles Tara in her
arms, her eyes swirl with black and red.
