| 27. Phases Original Air Date: January 27, 1998 Written by: Rob Des Hotel & Dean Batali Directed by: Bruce Seth Green Guest Cast: Camilla Griggs (Gym teacher) Jack Conley (Cain) Larry Bagby III (Larry) Megahn Perry (Theresa Klusmeyer) Keith Campbell (Werewolf) It's the night before the full moon, and Willow laments to Buffy that her new boyfriend Oz is not as smoochy as she'd like. Xander and Cordelia take advantage of the night by parking and -- whatta surprise -- making out, but they're interrupted by a werewolf who rips through the top of poor Cordy's dad's convertible. The approaching full moon has Sunnydale's self-defense class preparing for crazies, and macho thug Larry mistakenly comes on to Buffy and is promptly and painfully flipped. Giles alerts the gang that werewolves strike the nights before, during and after the full moon, so they are not out of the woods yet (sorry). As Giles and Buffy await their four-legged friend, Buffy is caught in the net of Mr. Kane, a bounty hunter who sports a freaky necklace made of werewolf teeth. Giles reminds him that werewolves are really human beings who only become wolves 3 nights out of the month. Kane says they sense sexual heat, so Giles and Buffy decide to hit the Bronze to find it. The werewolf does show up, but Buffy lets it escape, ticking off Kane. Meanwhile, our old friend Angel bumps into Sunnydale student Theresa as she walks home alone, and cheerfully tells her he's a friend of Buffy's. Buffy and Giles hear on the radio that Theresa's been killed and assume it's the werewolf. We see the werewolf in the woods transforming back into human form -- it's Oz. Oz calls his aunt and finds out that his little cousin who had recently bitten him is also a werewolf. He's wigged when he finds out Theresa's dead. Giles then has Willow check the computer to see if any student fits the violent werewolf's profile. But Xander takes a guess it might be Larry, and goes to the locker room to confront the brute himself. A series of misunderstandings has Larry admitting he's gay, and thinking Xander is, too. When Xander and Buffy see Theresa in the coffin, Buffy realizes her friend wasn't mauled -- she was killed by a vampire. Theresa rises from the coffin to attack Buffy and says, "Angel sends his love." Buffy fights her but Xander manages to slay Theresa. As Oz prepares for his last night of being a werewolf, Willow goes to his house to ask him why he hasn't been all over her. He starts transforming right before her eyes, and chases her out. Kane is waiting with a gun which has a silver bullet, while Giles wields a tranquilizer gun. As Kane goes to shoot Oz, Buffy decks him and scuffles with the werewolf herself. Willow shoots it with the tranquilizer gun. Kane is peeved that a li'l gal like Buffy spoiled his fun, but she sets him straight by bending his rifle. Things are a little awkward between Willow and Oz the next day, but they chat and Willow kisses him on the mouth. It's official: he's a werewolf in love. Summary by:EpisodeGuides.com |
