YMMV / Buffy The Vampire Slayer S 6 E 14 Older And Far Away

• Unintentionally Sympathetic: While is it a bad thing that Willow lied about keeping some spell components around the house "just in case," an argument could easily be made that this was actually an act of prudence given how often Buffy's house comes under supernatural attack. Other episodes make a parallel between Willow's magic use and a drug addiction, while this episode makes the magic components seem more like someone keeping a gun in their house after agreeing to get rid of it.
