Oz (
Seth Green) returns. Having traveled widely -- he mentions Tibet -- Oz has discovered how to control his werewolf transformations. Willow's (
Alyson Hannigan) joy over his return is compromised now that she loves Tara (Amber Benson). Seeking advice, Willow reveals the true nature of her relationship with Tara to Buffy (
Sarah Michelle Gellar) -- up until now she has kept her homosexuality as secret. Meanwhile, a commando is attacked by what he assumes to be a werewolf. Oz is subsequently captured by the Initiative. Surprisingly, Spike (
James Marsters) leads Buffy into the Initiative compound to free Oz. More surprisingly, Riley (
Marc Blucas) helps liberate Oz, subsequently severing his ties to the Initiative. Now, with her boyfriend AWOL from the Initiative, Buffy feels free to reveal her past relationship with Angel (
David Boreanaz). Elsewhere, Adam (George Hertzberg) offers to remove Spike's anti-violence chip if he assists in his plan to unleash worldwide chaos. ~ Matt Collar, All Movie Guide
