** The magic-as-drug plotline, where "overuse" of magic was suddenly revealed to cause addictive behavior, came complete with a "magic pusher" and after-school special-esque behavior by Willow. This was rather jolting to many fans, as during the prior two seasons, Wicca/magic was used as a metaphor for Willow and Tara's love and their sexual relationship. In fact, it continued to be used to refer to their relationship with Tara's song, ''I'm Under Your Spell'' when Willow was already showing signs of magical "dependence." The reprise of the song later in the episode is probably the moment it flips, when Tara realises just how under Willow's spell she actually is.
*** Of course, it's entirely plausible that anything as powerful as Buffyverse magic would be addictive in its way. At first, the show presented Willow's problem as a distinct form of addiction, as different from a drug problem as gambling or sex addiction - then came the episode "Wrecked", where magic suddenly became a direct analogue to heroin for no logical reason whatsoever.
