Line 837:
** Taken to its extreme in an episode where Willow lampshades this and [[Literal Genie|accidentally turns Xander into a literal demon magnet]].
* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: Faith, Cordelia, Angelus, Giles, Willow - a lot of characters at some point in the story.
* [[Wham! Shot]]: Has a few:
** Season 2 has Buffy prepare to fight Angelus to the death. Then just as she's about to behead him, Willow completes the soul restoration from her hospital bed. Angel returns, confused, and asks what's going on, as the hell dimension opens behind him. Buffy asks Angel to close his eyes, stabs him, and pushes him through the portal. No wonder Buffy is traumatized for most of season three's beginning.
** Faith has taken Xander's virginity in "The Zeppo". Xander assumes it means they have a special bond. Buffy informs him that Faith sleeps with men for casual sex, so it means nothing to her. Nevertheless, Xander goes to talk to Faith, to attempt to reason with her. Her response is to push him on her motel bed, start feeling him up; then she tries to strangle him with her Slayer strength. Angel has to save Xander.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic?]]: The Cheese Man that appears in everyone's dreams in "Restless", who Joss Whedon has said means absolutely nothing.
* [[What the Hell Is That Accent?]]: Kendra and Angel.
