Sorry about the audio quality of this one. I think I accidentally used my camera audio while I was recording but I didn't notice until I started editing! 

Also this episode was so emotional! That scene where Willow had a breakdown in front of Buffy broke my heart..

I don't like this episode in large part because of the heavy handed analogy between Willow's magic use and drug addiction; which comes largely out of nowhere. Yes, Giles mentioned the spell he and Ethan and the others did in their youth, that got a friend killed, was "an incredibly high" or whatever, but beyond that, that's never been why Willow's done magic. This whole season so far seems to have lost sight of what it meant for Willow to even do magic, where suddenly she and even Amy, who's been out of commission for years, can just point their finger and zap, whatever they want done happens; no incantation, no ingredients, they're basically something short of gods; when last year Willow struggled just teleporting Glory. Up to this point she had never been doing magic for any kind of dependency or compulsion; and other inconsistencies that can only be addressed later. Willow's whole thing, even before magic, has been her inability to apply ethics to her behavior; she has always operated on the assumption that because she's physically able to do something, that entitles her to do it if and when she wants. She was already a hacker when the series started, having already cracked the Sunnydale municipal departments, apparently for the fun of it. She had no respect for Giles' concerns about levels of magic he felt she wasn't ready for, like reading magic books he had intentionally hidden from her, that she knew he had hidden from her; because she basically thought it was a game, and if she can find the books, she's entitled to read them. But whenever someone questions her efforts, she takes personal offense, like someone has questioned her intelligence. This was the case with Buffy in season 1, just for questioning if Malcolm was real; Willow's response was shades of her argument with Giles in season 6 over bringing Buffy back. She got a little defensive when Buffy and Oz warned caution over advancing too fast with magic, when she was lamenting hitting a plateau in season 4. When Tara makes a similar comment in season 5, about being frightened how powerful she's getting, Willow turns the whole thing around into an argument about her own sexuality, completely deflecting Tara's original concerns towards another point Willow probably knew Tara was insecure about. At the end of the end of the day, Willow wants to be the best at everything she does. When Dawn wanted to bring Joyce back, Willow's perspective was that people didn't do it because it must easily go wrong. That's how she looks at things; if she can't be certain it'll turn out right, it's not worth doing. Whether it's ethically right or wrong isn't part of the question. And she so assured of her own abilities, she convinces herself that there's no possible way for the spells she does try to go wrong, despite past experience where they do. She figures out why those specific spells went wrong and she's certain she will never make another mistake after that.

Jeff Kober, the actor who played Rack, also played the crazy vampire Zachary Kralik from Season 3 episode 12 "Helpless". He is so good at playing 'creepy'.
