It's Valentine's Day in Sunnydale! Which, of course, means magic and mayhem for our Scoobies! You'd think Xander would know better, but apparently when hearts get broken, common sense goes out the window.
Amanda and Andrea have a lot to talk about in this Xander-centric ep, it's all about 'careful what you wish for' for our resident comic relief. We also have lots of music to talk about and a few fun SNL related facts. There's also annoyance with Amy's mythology knowledge, Xander's inability to barricade a door, and worries about Joyce's ability to suppress the insanity going on around her.
Also, there was apparently SO much conversation related to 'Phases' that we have the first ever re-visit to a previous episode! ENJOY!
According to Amy “Intent has to be pure with love spells.”
Firstly, I don't think there is any reason for a love spell which could be called “pure” so they're all likely to fail in some way.
Secondly, Xander's reason: “so I can break up with her and subject her to the same hell she's been puttin' me through” is the opposite of a love spell's purpose. That's probably what brings about the opposite result.
Love the podcast.
