The one where... they all lose their memory, and Spike thinks he's Giles's son Randy. Also, a very literal loan shark appears and Michelle Branch sings 'Goodbye to You'.
Resident evil: Teeth the loan shark, some vamps (and Willow)
The rewatch: I think I like this episode less and less each time I watch it. I used to like it, but now I feel 'meh' towards it. Sure, it has some funny moments. I love Anya/Giles! And her fear of bunnies! I love Randy Giles and Teeth the loan shark. The end with Tara and Giles leaving, while Michelle Branch is singing 'Goodbye to You' is heartbreaking.
I still don't like Willow and her magic addiction, the gang heading into the sewers doesn't add much to the story and Dawn/Buffy jumping to the conclusion that they must be sisters made me scratch my head. Also, they could've done more with the Xander/Willow pairing.
Extra tidbit: Tabula rasa is Latin for 'clean slate'.
Rating: Not near the worst of the season, but not near the top either.
