Mark here... this episode is called "Witch" and it establishes that there's another supernatural world out there that Buffy needs to fight. As Giles describes, Sunnydale (the town Buffy lives in) is a hotbed of supernatural mischief. It sits atop a Hellmouth, a sort of vortex of evil. So in this episode Buffy is looking to try out for the cheerleading squad as a way of maintaining a normal life. Of course, cheerleading is evil, so we know that can't end well... We're introduced to Amy, whose Mom is pushing her to make the squad. Turns out Mom is a witch casting spells to get Amy on the squad. The episode also serves to show us the role Buffy's friends will playing in fighting evil. Giles shows himself to be adept in understanding spells and ends up casting one to break the witch's.
Laurel here... I like this one. For one we really see how Willow is going to be a valuable aid for Buffy, in this one she makes a potion that verifies that Amy is a witch...You assume it's Amy's mom casting spells and causing bad things to happen to cheerleaders who stand in between Amy and making the squad, then Willow proves it is Amy herself, then it tuns out AMY IS HER MOM because her witchy mom thought she was wasting her youth and made her switch bodies. Good twist actually.
Quotes of note:
Giles saying "Pardon Me for finding the glass half full"...it was funny when we heard it...
