Band Candy, Revelations, Lover's Walk, it's all good. But The Wish is something special. I usually don't like, what ifs episodes, but this one was important. After a very sappy, teen soap ending on Lover's Walk. Cut short by Spike singing My Way, at the top of his lungs. While leaving Sunnydale, for now at least. Everything looks so confusing and unsure for our heroes, at the start of The Wish. Until Anya, is introduced... And her true intentions, are shown later on the episode. The way this parallel universe work, is perfectly fitting of what might have been, had Buffy never came to town. Actors give their all, to their doomed world counterparts. And even though we know it's all for show, the script achieved at creating a sub-plot just as important as the main arc. And the part where friends and lovers, start killing each other, in all indifference. Gets me every time. Even more so than when I was a teenager. The nightmare ends. And the show closes, making it look as if, all is well that ends well. While conveying a good message throughout. But it's just the beginning to more problems, and moral dilemmas to come...
