Buffy S05E11 Spoiler Review | Anya vs. Willow (And Xander Catches Strays)

Anya wants revenge.Willow wants validation.Xander wants literally anyone to stop yelling.In “Triangle,” Season 5 takes a sharp left turn into rom-com territory as Anya and Willow are magically trapped together—forced to confront old wounds, lingering jealousy, and the messiness of loving the same idiot. What starts as petty sniping spirals into enchanted trolls, bruised egos, and one very public emotional reckoning.Meanwhile, Buffy and Riley deal with the quiet after the storm, Dawn continues to Dawn, and the Scoobies remind us that sometimes the biggest battles aren’t cosmic—they’re personal, awkward, and wildly uncomfortable.It’s funny.It’s tense.And it’s exactly the breather we need before Season 5 tightens the screws again.
