- TriviaDuring the scene where Oz is supposed to be turning into a werewolf, Joss Whedon wrote a special direction to Seth Green in the script. He told him to imagine he was "about to come onto acid".
- GoofsAs leader of The Initiative, Walsh would have to know about werewolves, as another HST. This means she would not be having the conversation with Riley, but it's a plot device to alert Buffy to the presence of the werewolves.
- Quotes
Willow Rosenberg: Oz... don't you love me?
Oz: My whole life... I've never loved anything else.

Animal attraction
In the previous episode Oz appeared to be showing more interest in Veruca, a singer, at the Bronze than Willow cared for; here it becomes apparent why. They have more than music in common; they are both werewolves! He discovers this the morning after escaping from his cage on the night before the full moon when the two of them wake up together. They talk and she is unimpressed that he cages the wolf side of himself. Later Willow's worries about their relationship grow. Veruca's desire to 'free' Oz puts Willow in real danger.
This was a really good episode. It got off the a great start with a teaser prologue which suggested an old enemy would be the episode's main bad guy only for him to be captured by the mysterious black clad figures moments later. It was nice to see Willow and Oz take centre stage in a story that proved to be surprisingly emotional; Alyson Hannigan did a brilliant job depicting the emotional effect of the events on Willow; Seth Green also impressed as the stoic Oz. Paige Moss was also solid as Veruca; a character who it was obviously hard to like as she was getting between two major characters. After many sightings of the men in black it was good that events brought them to Buffy's attention; no doubt we will soon get an explanation as to who they are; I look forward to finding out. Overall a top quality episode.
