History Recap / BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E20Villains

--> "Wanna know what a bullet feels like, Warren? A real one? It's not like in the comics. It's not going to make a neat little hole. First, it'll obliterate yourinternal organs. Your lung will collapse, feels like drowning, when it finally hits your spine, it'll blow your central nervous systemThe pain will be unbearable, but you won't be able to move... Bullets usually travel faster than this, of course. But the dying? It's going to seem like it takes forever."

Willow absorbs all the dark magick at the Magic Box and saves Buffy. She then goes after Warren.

* ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: The fan question about why demons don't just shoot Buffy is answered when they point out that Slayers are notoriously difficult to kill, heal very fast, and get really pissed when they get better.

* CallBack: "Bored now...", the line used by Vampire!Willow in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E9TheWish The Wish]] and [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E16Doppelgangland Doppelgangland]]." Especially chilling in that Willow [[MeaningfulEcho has never heard her]] EvilTwin [[MeaningfulEcho say it]]. Thus, while Vampire Willow delivered it in a pouty, childish way, Willow's delivery is cold and harsh.

** Even after everything he had done Buffy wants Warren arrested, not dead. This is an argument not just with Willow but the fan base as a whole.

* RunForTheBorder: Warren tries to flee to Mexico. [[spoiler:It's ActuallyADoombot.]]

-->'''Warren''': Wanna know what a bullet feels like, Warren? A ''real'' one?

* PetTheDog: Dark Willow makes sure Buffy is going to be alright first, before using her near death as part motivation to hunt down Warren.

* AlasPoorVillain: The episode ''tries'' to pull it off with Warren's horrifically painful demise, though it falls pretty flat due to just how despicable he was.

* AintTooProudToBeg: Warren's last words are to beg Willow not to kill him.

* HumansAreTheRealMonsters
-->'''Willow:''' Please, please, bring her back!
-->'''Osiris:''' You may not violate the laws of natural passing--
-->'''Willow:''' How? How is this natural?
-->'''Osiris:''' It is a human death, by human means.

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: After going Dark!Willow, she is adamant that Warren needs to die for shooting Tara despite Buffy repeatedly insisting that they don't kill humans and there are other options. On top of it all, Xander and Dawn are so disgusted and furious with Warren that they declare him to be [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters just as bad as any vampire or demon Buffy's slain]] and fully support Willow's intent to kill... at least until the minute she actually goes through with it.

-->'''Warren:''' It was an accident, you know.
-->'''Willow:''' Oh. You mean, instead of killing my ''best'' friend you killed my ''girl''friend?
-->'''Warren:''' It wasn't personal, that's all.
-->'''Willow:''' [[ItsPersonal Well this is.]]

* VigilanteExecution: Courtesey of Willow the Vampire Flayer.

* VigilanteExecution: Curtsey of Willow the Vampire Flayer.

Thus, while Vampire Willow delivered it in a pouty, childish way, Willow's delivery is cold and harsh.

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Subverted -- [[InstantDeathBullet Tara is dead before she hits the floor]], and Willow holds her body [[PleaseWakeUp begging for her to come back]].

* GetOut[=/=]CompellingVoice: "Leave. Now."

* HumanNotepad: Willow absorbs several TomeOfEldritchLore -- the text is seen flowing across her skin until its reaches her face and gives her BlackEyesOfEvil and an ExpositoryHairstyleChange.

* VigilanteExecution: See the page image, curtsey of Willow the Vampire Flayer.

* [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim Why Don't You Just Shoot Her]]: Turns out you can, but Slayers are rather difficult to kill.
** Why Don't You Just Flay Him Alive: Even after everything he had done Buffy wants Warren arrested, not dead. This is an argument not just with Willow but the fan base as a whole.

* CarpetOfVirility: Warren, when Willow pulls open his shirt to torture him. Ironic given his nerdy characterisation.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Let's see, Warren allowed a SexBot to go crazy with no regard for the destruction it caused [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman or for the robot]], wants to be evil, has made numerous attempts on Buffy's life, [[MindRape mind raped]] & nearly physically raped his girlfriend, killed her, finds that he enjoys killing women, shoots Buffy, kills Tara. Buffy's the only one trying to preach ThouShaltNotKill.
