He went on multiple dates with her and fed her deep emotional stories about his father's death, the same crap he did ''on screen'' with multiple other women, including an attempt with Willow. He was clearly creating the ''appearance'' that he was looking for a serious emotional connection and not a casual fling. Fortunately, Willow calls him on his bullshit, giving the audience, at least, some emotional closure (along with Cave Buffy beating him unconscious).

** As for Oz, who has been faithful to Willow despite everything that happened last year, he is uncharacteristically fond of Veruca after having become attracted to her three episodes prior, and can sense her at the Bronze even before she comes up on stage. This foreshadows the next episode's main plot.

* BrokenAesop: The reason the beer caused the problem is because someone tampered with it. The plot would not change in ''any way'' if the beverage were soda. The moral, if there is one, is "Don't accept food or drink from people who hate you," or possibly "Be polite to waiters and bartenders, because if they snap they can totally mess you up." Which aren't actually bad lessons, albeit a little situational. But as for the beer, the intended moral target? Foamy. In fact, the episode was made to procure funding from the anti-alcohol lobby, who then noticed the broken message and refused to pay up.
