* MurphysBullet: [[spoiler:Tara [=McClay=]]] is killed by a random bullet that was fired in the air by [[spoiler:Warren]]. It occurs immediately after [[spoiler:Willow has made things right with Tara]], making this a very clear-cut case of TheRuleOfDrama in action. Although [[spoiler:Warren]] does manage to hit [[spoiler:Buffy]], his target, as well. For some fans, this tastes too much like a DiabolusExMachina.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The bullet is shown to have shattered a window and there's no way, given Warren's height, Tara's height, and the height of the window from the ground, that a bullet could have traveled that path unless it was a Roger Rabbit bullet that took a sharp turn in midair. And an extra sharp turn after killing Tara in order to avoid also killing Willow who is standing directly in line but on the opposite side of her[[/labelnote]]
