Buffy question: Why did Willow get mad when OZ kissed a female werewolf ?
Buffy question: Why did Willow get mad illogically when OZ kissed a female werewolf when she was the one to cheat on OZ first with Xander? Neptunekh94 (talk) 23:33, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Never watched the show, but two wrongs don't make a right, and when have people who cheat or have been cheated on ever been reasonable about it? Ian.thomson (talk) 23:38, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * So, you want to know why fictional characters behaved the way they did? The answer is because the writers of the show put it in the script, and the actors performed the actions and spoke the words they were told to.  -- Jayron  32  00:37, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a standard fob-off response to this kind of question. Obviously, there must have been an in-universe reason for Willow to behave as she did.  That is what the OP is looking for. -Viennese Waltz 07:48, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * How dare you refer to my former wife like that! We may have had our differences, and she is very weird (in a good way), but lycanthropy has never been one of her things.  --   Jack of Oz   [Talk]  01:09, 17 November 2012 (UTC)


 * (I added links to the relevant episodes.)
 * Willow has some grounds to say "that's different!".
 * Oz had barely met Veruca (for such is the she-wolf's name, after a band named after one of the horrid children in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who in turn was named for a wart) . Xander was Willow's first crush, long before she met Oz; and when they kissed they both thought they were about to die (by Spike), a circumstance that tends to kick up the sex-drive, or so they say.
 * Willow made a big show of remorse; Oz showed none but defended his actions — iirc (it's been awhile since I last watched season four).
 * Willow's anger could also be displaced dismay at learning how little control Oz had over his wolf side in daylight.
 * But one could also say this whole plotline happened because Seth Green wanted out of the series. —Tamfang (talk) 10:12, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
