Cordy feeling betrayed by Xander wishes for Buffy to never move to Sunnydale and enters an alternate world showing the ripples it has on everyone's lives. Cordy is still popular, wanted by every guy in school and finds out most of the student body is dead. It shows without Buffy no one else stopped the master from rising during the harvest leaving her friends as his two disciples instead of her support team, Angel is a pet in a cage and Giles formed a new white hat team. While I like knowing how important Buffy is I find it lacking in a few areas like the old one underneath the school never rising or past characters still dead like Jenny and Darla. Without the slayer Angel never has to choose between Darla or Buffy and she would still reign by his side and where he never lost his soul means Angel never killed Jenny leaving them the only happy couple in bizzaro world.
I enjoy seeing everyone playing different roles as Wilow going from meek to dominatrix or Buffy going from out going to someone who doesn't work well with others was brilliantly portrayed and seeing how the Master planned in season one coming to fruition was fun. My only gripe is Cordy never remembers the nightmare she stepped in to making a wonderful concept feel cheapened since no one learned anything or a metaphors hidden below the surface.
