Even more astounding is that he seems to be ‘reaching’ Buffy. * Back in the library, Buffy gets the sit-rep on why everyone had glum faces. * Cordelia manages to sum it up nicely ‘Oz ate someone last night’ * Oz bails in dramatic fashion only to be reminded its time to get in his cage. * Buffy on patrol that night runs into Angel, the big reveal to Buffy that Angel has returned. * Willow, Xander and Cordelia make a trip to the morgue and we get our sighting of the infamous Scooby lunch box. * The group is trying to prove that Oz didn’t kill anyone. * Buffy puts Angel in shackles and chains back at the old mansion. * Buffy relieves Faith from duty on Oz-watch. She can’t sleep and she wants to do a little research. * Buffy tries to innocently quiz Giles about the possibilities surrounding a return from a hell dimension. Its pretty much all bad news. * At lunch Pete gets upset at the praise Debbie is giving Mr. Platt. * At Buffy’s next appointment with Mr. Platt she finds him dead. * Pete is furious with Debbie for destroying all of his evil potions. He hits her. * Debbie has a black eye when she goes to meet Oz and get his notes. * Pete sees the two of them together and goes beserk. * Now that the group knows Oz is not the killer they start to realize that all of the victims so far have Pete and Debbie in common. * Pete must be the killer. * The group splits up to find Pete. Pete finds Oz in his cage. * Pete is going to kill Oz and goes into crazy-mode. * He starts to toss Oz around and then the sun goes down. * Great Oz quote, ‘Time’s up. Rules change. * Oz turns into a werewolf and fights Pete. * Both Oz and Pete run off. * Faith darts Oz * Pete has the upper hand on Buffy in their fight until Angel bursts in and kills Pete. * He looks up and says Buffy? Then falls at her feet hugging her. * This episode somewhat revolves around Oz and his werewolf-ism. We haven’t seen too much of Were-Oz since the Phases episode near the end of Season 2. * Think about Oz, calm, stoic, man of few words. Oz is always in control.
