Tabula Rasa

The gang are still reeling from Buffy's revolation in Once More, With Feeling they pulled out of heaven, as opposed to hell.  Willow suggests a spell to make Buffy forget that she was in heaven.  Tara loses her temper, and, after Xander and Anya flee from the arguement, she tells Willow that she knows that Willow put a spell on her t omake her forget about their fight.  Willow tries to apologise, but Tara stops her, saying that there's nothing that Willow can

say that will excuse what she did, especially, as Tara points out, after what Glory did to her (in Tough Love). Willow miserably says that she was just trying to fix things and help people, but Tara says that Willow is now just using magick to fix things to her own liking.  Tearfully, Tara explains that she doesn;t think that 'this is gonna work'.  This devistates Willow and she says she'll do anything.  Tara suggests she go a week without doing magic and 'then

we'll see'. Tara and Dawn head off later to see Giles and Willow remains behind, pretending that she has to get dressed.  She does a spell, breaking her word to Tara and attempting to make Buffy forget about her blissful existance in heaven. In this episode the gang lose their memories due to Willow's haywire spell and Willow and Tara have a few touching scenes when they sneak looks at each other and are just about

to kiss for the 'first' time, when the spell is broken and Tara realises what Willow has done. Tara packs her things and moves out, leaving Willow crying in the bathroom.
