Anya has caused trouble by wreaking vengeance.
***
We again open with a girl, this time in Germany, running from men in black cloaks. Again, they kill her.
Buffy wakes up and we find that she has been dreaming this. It's probably a vision, Slayer style. So Buffy now works at the high school as a...well, just someone for the kids to talk to, but it works for me, because it's a reason to get back into the high school.
There's this big worm/rancor/sarlacc pit/monster from Tremors thing that is scooting around under the ground and trying to hurt this chick, so Xander helps her out. As it turns out, it's Anya's fault. She turned the girl's ex boyfriend into the wormy monster because the chick made a wish. Turns out Anya isn't liking being a vengeance demon so much. Man, they sure are getting a lot of mileage out of the whole Xander/Anya breakup. As evil Willow would say, "bored now."
What really confuses me is Spike. He's here and he's cleaned himself up, wearing blue instead of black, and for most of the episode he seems completely in control and compassionate. Then a switch gets flicked and he goes nuts. He hits Anya, he hits Buffy, and he makes a douche out of himself. I'm confused. I hope they explain before too long. Anyway, Buffy finds out that he has his soul back.
They also give us a cool catch phrase.
From beneath you it devours.

Spike's crazy from the soul thing and the first is F-ing with him, I believe...He hits Anya because she was gonna reveal his secret and I don't think he wanted that. It seems like he wants to get beat around as some sort of atonement. I loved the iconic image at the end of him on the cross smoking...it would be a cool drawing. The principal obviously just wants to keep an eye on Buffy, hence the job. But that's later. Funny moment in the bar, when The girl goes "is there any one here who hasn't slept with each other?" Xander and Spike exchange a wry look.
