| - Anya unsuccessfully entreats D'Hoffryn to help return her amulet and, with it, her Vengeance Demon powers. When she's turned away, Anya vows to find someone else to help. Principal Snyder browbeats Willow into tutoring basketball star Percy West. Percy makes it clear that his idea of "tutoring" is Willow doing his homework for him. Frustrated and unhappy with being "book girl", Willow agrees to assist Anya with her spell. But rather than retrieving the magic amulet, Anya summons the vampire Willow from the alternate universe in "The Wish" and sets her loose in Sunnydale. Neither Anya nor Willow realizes the consequences of their spell. Wishverse Willow goes to the Bronze, where she beats up Percy and shows her vampire face to Xander and Buffy. Two vampires sent by the Mayor attack her, but she turns them to her side. Buffy and Xander tell Giles that Willow has been killed and turned vampiric, but the genuine Willow appears in the door, cuing a round of hysterics. Angel and Anya drop in to the Bronze, just in time to see Wishverse Willow and her new cronies hold the club hostage. Angel escapes to find Buffy. Anya realizes her error, offers to return Wishverse Willow to her own world in return for help in retrieving her amulet, and suggests capturing the other Willow to fix the spell. Angel, Buffy and Xander head for the Bronze, but Willow, returning to get the tranquilizer gun, is cornered by her doppelganger. Willow shoots her clone unconscious and locks her in the library cage. The gang discuss plans, and Buffy says that she has a really bad one... Outside the Bronze, Willow is dressed up in WW's leather catsuit, about to go in alone and try to diffuse the situation. Meanwhile, a dim-witted Cordelia releases Wishverse Willow. Inside the Bronze, Anya makes Willow as a human, despite Willow's "look at my outfit" defense. Buffy barges in and stakes the other vampires, then captures the returning doppelganger. Anya returns vampiric Willow to her own timeline, where she is immediately killed. Before she dies, she mouths a very un-Willowish obscenity. The next day, Percy, thoroughly intimidated by "Willow" strangling him earlier, shows up for tutoring with all his work completed.
