Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S2/E15 Phases: Difference between revisions

A werewolf is loose in Sunnydale.

 

* [[Always a Bigger Fish]]: Oz in werewolf form follows a trail of blood until he finds Theresa's corpse, Angelus in vamp face standing over her. The two snarl and growl and piss at each other until Angelus decides he would not like to be torn limb from limb and withdraws.

* [[Armoured Closet Gay]]: Larry acts like a lecherous [[Jerk Jock]] to hide the fact that he's gay.

* [[Auto Erotica]]: Cordelia has this in mind, but Xander is too busy griping about [[Green-Eyed Monster|Willow taking up with Oz]].

* [[Bait and Switch Comment]]: Cordy the morning after she and Xander were attacked in their car by a werewolf.

'''Cordelia:''' ''(tears herself away)'' Daddy just had this car detailed. }}

* [[Break the Cutie]]: "Angel sends his love."

* [[Broken Heel]]: Willow trips while fleeing the werewolf.

* [[Bully Hunter]]: When Larry is leering about doing self defense with Theresa, she stammers that there's several members of the group. Buffy; who had played [[Bully Hunter]] on Larry before, comes to her side, all smiles, and says, [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|"And I'm one of the few."]] Willow has to spoil her fun and pull Buffy aside, telling her she can't go all Slayer on him.

* [[Cat Fight]]

'''Willow:''' (smiles) Really? Thanks. I've never gotten a 'meow' before. }}

* [[Clothing Damage]]: We hear (but not see) some tearing sounds as Oz transforms.

* [[Coincidental Broadcast]]: This one via car radio.

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Xander uses his "hyena-sense" to work out who the werewolf is, and realises the answer is right in front of him. Oz looks alarmed as he's standing before Xander, who says...it's Larry!

* [[Delinquent]]: It appears not all of Buffy's bad reputation is from her Slayer activities.

'''Buffy:''' ''([[Death Glare]] at Willow)'' One... Two... Three... }}

'''Giles:''' Oh, yes. No, of-of-of course not, no. }}

* [[Evil Poacher]] / [[Straw Misogynist]]: [[Meaningful Name|Cain]]

* [[Fridge Logic]]: Where exactly did Oz wake up the first two times, that didn't arouse his suspicions?

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]

'''Willow:''' I mean, [[Menstrual Menace|three days out of the month]] I'm not much fun to be around either. }}

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]

'''Willow:''' At last count? All of them, [[Lipstick Lesbian|maybe more]]. }}

* [[IKEA Weaponry]] / [[Tranquillizer Dart]]: The tranquilizer rifle.

* [[I Resemble That Remark]]

'''Xander:''''' (nods)'' Thank you. }}

'''Oz:''' That's great, Larry. You've really mastered the single entendre. }}

* [[Last-Second Word Swap]]: Cordy is clearly more 'experienced' than Xander.

* [[Master of the Mixed Message]]: Xander and Oz, according to their girlfriends.

* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Inverted, then played [[A Worldwide Punomenon|straight]], when Xander accuses [[Jerk Jock]] Larry of harboring a secret (he thinks he's a werewolf), and Larry comes out to him. Since Xander had tried to sympathize by saying he "had been there" (when he was possessed by a hyena), Larry then thought Xander was also gay.

** Even better, at this point Whedon still hadn't decided on whether to make Xander or Willow gay, and if he had picked Xander, this was going to be [[Foreshadowing]].

* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Guess who.

* [[Name of Cain]]: By killing werewolves Cain is also a killer of human beings.

* [[No Except Yes]]

'''Buffy:''' I didn't jump. I took a tiny step, and there conclusions were. }}

* [[The Not-Secret]]: After realising he's a werewolf, and that he'd been bitten earlier by his cousin Jordy, Oz gets on the phone.

* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: [[Quintessential British Gentleman|Giles is indignant]] when Cain assumes he's out in the woods with Buffy for some underage nookie.

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]

'''Buffy:''' He needs to get a pet. }}

* [[Oblivious Mockery]]: Cain tells Giles he looks like someone auditioning for the job of librarian.

* [[One Dialogue, Two Conversations]]: The morning after Buffy finds out Oz is a werewolf and Xander discovers Larry is gay.

'''Xander:''' No one... }}

* [[Profiling]]: Spoofed when Willow determines the most likely werewolf candidate is Buffy due to her history of violence.

* [[Saying Too Much]]: Both [[Played for Laughs]] and [[Played for Drama]].

'''Xander:''' I know what it's like to crave the taste of freshly killed meat, to be taken over by those uncontrollable urges.<br />

'''Buffy:''' You said you didn't remember anything about that. }}

* [[Scare Chord]]: "Why so jumpy, Larry?"

* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: Loads of this.

He-he said he was going through all these changes. Then he went through all these... changes. }}

* [[A Shared Suffering]]: Cordelia and Willow bond by griping about their boyfriends. Xander is [[Woman Scorned|justifiably nervous]].

* [[Staking the Loved One]]: Angelus turns a schoolmate of Buffy's, Theresa, into a vampire, knowing that [[Break the Cutie|she'll be forced to stake her]] when she goes to examine the corpse.

* [[Stating the Simple Solution]]

'''Buffy:''' ''(sotto voice)'' Here's a suggestion: move away from the Hellmouth. }}

* [[The Stoic]]: Oz upon realising he's a werewolf. "Huh!"

* [[Super Window Jump]]: The werewolf escaping from the Bronze.

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Buffy notices Larry is acting strangely.

* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: Larry accepts his gayness and stops acting like a [[Jerkass]].

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Cain tries to pull this on Buffy claiming she lets more people die then she does to save them.
