6.1 - Bargaining Part 1

The Scoobies are coping with life without Buffy. Willow is planning a resurrection spell.

***

What jumps out to me the most here is that Willow is messing with some seriously dark stuff. That poor baby deer! And the scene where they actually do the spell calling upon Osiris was pretty freaky. A snake from her mouth? Seriously? How may ways can you say the word "evil?"

This episode is really here to set the pace and to set into motion the chain of events that lead to what happens at the end of the episode, which is Buffy, turning from a corpse into a living being in her coffin, then waking up.
