1.3 (3) The Witch

I watched this episode the night it screened at home with my husband.

Buffy tries out for Cheerleading and discovers a witch cursing cheerleaders so she can become one. Curses: burning hands, blindness, drunken behaviour followed by weakness which will lead to death and, body switching. If only magic actually worked like this, not the cursing people but getting what you want. It was interesting to see how they first introduced magic as of course Willow becomes a witch (much later). Watch out for several scenes from the starting during the course of the episode.

Funny parts:

Buffy opening a box with her hands after her mother was struggling with a crow bar

Buffy referring to Xander as her “Xander shaped friend”

Amy (once she’s reclaimed her body) saying “I’m thinking of getting fat”
