Season 1 Episode 3: The Witch

Again, it's been some years since I have seen these episodes and I have forgotten quite a few things. This episode stars Amy who spent most of the series as a rat. Can't totally remember how that came about but I am sure I will.

This episode has Buffy deciding to get some normalcy in her life and join the Sunnydale High School Cheerleading Squad. During tryouts we see one of the girls catch fire and thus starts the ball rolling. As the days go by weird things start happening to the other hopefuls. Cordelia goes blind and another girls mouth disappears. Giles and the gang think it is the work of a witch. Amy is one of the hopefuls whose mother was one of the schools most decorated cheerleaders and we learn she is getting a lot of pressure from her mom. Once the results of the tryouts are posted as Buffy is first alternate and Amy is 3rd we see Buffy get drained of all energy. They find out that the Witch is the mother but has used a spell to put herself in Amy's body and vice versa. The Scooby gang does a spell and soon all is right with the world.

It was an okay episode with a few good laughs but not one of the best and certainly not one to remember.

4 out of 10 stakes.
