20 Best Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes

14. Tabula Rasa

What happens when all of the major characters in Buffy come down with a case of amnesia, forgetting all the formative events and experiences that have shaped their identities? This comes on the tail end of Willow's addiction to magic, once she's alienated her girlfriend Tara so much that she decides it's necessary to cast a spell to make her forget all about the conflict in their relationship. Unfortunately, it goes horribly wrong, and affects everyone in their group as they're together at the magic shop. What follows is a thorough deconstruction of each character, showing who they would be without all the weight on their shoulders. Despite not know who they are, their personalities quickly begin to come through in clever and sometimes hilarious ways.
