Season 2, Episode 15
A bad moon arising

Warning: Spoilers
Phaser is about a huge dog roaming the streets of Sunnydale. Oz who has taken a liking to Willow believes he may be the creature after being bitten by his cousin and has to dodge a bounty Hunter who collects their teeth. This is a weak episode for me as it doesn't try to show is a metaphor or an inner meaning for the characters. It seems making Oz a werewolf only serves a purpose to make his character interesting and throw a monkey's wrench in his relationship with Willow.

The side story of Angel targeting her class did grab my interest as he sets his sights on ruining her life like Dru's making her insane and for making his alter who Angel feel like a man at one time. The look on her face when she visits Teresa's funeral only to deliver a message from him was priceless and sad knowing how much he can hurt this delicate being.
