Rather like the monsters in the boys' bodies, there is a great episode struggling to come out of this one. It tries to deal with male entitlement and victim blaming but as far as I am concerned it fails miserably to do those subjects justice. Plus, I don't want Buffy to teach me anything unless it's about friendship, loyalty and never to wear what Willow wears. If you ignore the episode's failures then it's not so bad: great dialogue as usual and Cordelia gives us a lovely heartfelt moment that Xander does not deserve when she is so upset when she thinks he has turned into a monster.
