Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S4/E06 Wild at Heart

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Veruca is revealed as a werewolf. Unlike Oz, however, she refuses to let herself be put in a cage.

Buffy: Oz... You ok? And if it's possible, you seem more monosyllabic than usual.

  • Black Bra and Panties: Oz and Veruca are stealing clothes from a dorm's laundry. Veruca has changed into these, and isn't in a hurry to put on anything else while trying to seduce Oz.
  • Bond One-Liner: The vampire doesn't react to Buffy's Hurricane of Puns, much to her annoyance.

Thanks for the relocate. I perform better without an audience. You were thinking, what, a little helpless coed before bed? You know very well, you eat this late... (She stakes him.) You're gonna get heartburn. Get it? Heartburn? That's it? That's all I get? One lame-ass vamp with no appreciation for my painstakingly thought-out puns?

Veruca: Girl's got a point.
Oz: (Angrily.) Leave.
Veruca: I'm just saying--
Oz: NOW!

  • Headbutt of Love: When Willow tearfully asks, "Don't you love me?" Oz vows "My whole life, I've never loved anything else," and gives her a textbook HBOL, complete with hug and kiss.
  • Hell-Bent for Leather: Willow dresses in leather pants when she goes to seduce Oz -- clearly she picked up some lessons from Faith.
  • I Have This Friend: Willow puts a 'hypothetical' question to Xander.

Willow: Well, say the girl's been noticing--
Xander: Will, I've deciphered your ingenious code.
Willow: Ok. Say I've been noticing Oz notice someone else. A woman.

Buffy: Get it? Heartburn? That's it? That's all I get? One lame-ass vamp with no appreciation for my painstakingly thought-out puns?

Veruca: I've wanted you even before I ever saw you. I sensed you. Did you sense me?

Willow: The Bronze is nice and familiar. It's like a big comfy blanky.
Oz: I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.
Willow: Aw, you're my my person blanky. This is my place blanky.

  • Slap Slap Kiss: Oz and Veruca meet in their wolf forms and immediately start to fight. They wake up naked in each other arms the next day.
  • Smells Sexy: Veruca taunts Willow by saying, "I know what you love. I have his scent on me right now."
  • Something Else Also Rises: Veruca brings up the wild wolf sex she had with Oz last night; her gaze flicks downward as she purrs "I know some part of you remembers that."
  • Talking in Your Sleep

Willow: Mm... It's in the sandblaster. Uh...
Oz: What's in the sandblaster, Will? It's a dream. Come back to me. (starts to fondle her under the covers)
Willow: Mmm...Hmm... All Geminis to the raspberry hats.
Oz: Now you're faking.

Buffy: (after killing a vampire) That's it? That's all I get? One lame-ass vamp with no appreciation for my painstakingly thought-out puns? I don't think the forces of darkness are even trying. I mean, you could make a little effort here, you know? Give me something to work with.
Spike: (watching her from a distance) Watch your mouth, little girl. You should know better than to tempt the fates that way. 'Cause the Big Bad is back. And this time, it's... (suddenly he's being tazered) Urrgh! Aaaahhh! (he is dragged away by commandos)

Buffy: I'm sure Oz is flogging and punishing himself...this is sounding wrong before I even finish.

Willow: What does it mean when a girl wants to... You know.
Xander: If you're doin' it, I think you should be able to say it.
Willow: Make love.
