Hello Bloggy. I’m on the second season of Buffy still, and I watched episode 16. The beginning of the episode starts off with Xander and Cordelia dating. I don’t have a clue how this came about but apparently Cordelia’s opinions of Xander must have changed at some point, and now she likes him. Cordelia’s friends keep giving her crap for dating a loser, and since she’s always very popularity conscious, she decides to break up with him. I could tell that Cordelia didn’t actually want to lose him, but she would rather have her friends than a boyfriend. Xander reacts to this breakup by finding Amy, the witch, and blackmailing her into helping him cast a spell. He wants a spell that will make Cordelia fall in love with him, but instead the spell works out differently. The spell ends up attracting every girl in Sunnydale to Xander, and this causes much mayhem. The girls get brutal and try to kill the other girls and even try to kill Xander. Giles is actually the one to save Xander in the end, which is surprising since Buffy is usually the one to save the city. Finally after all of the women no longer are attracted to Xander, Cordelia stands up to her friends and tells them she can date whoever she wants to date. So in the end Xander got what he wanted. Cordelia shouldn’t have let her friends push her around like that, and their opinions shouldn’t have mattered so much. So many people in high school will do anything to fit in, and do things like break up with their boyfriends just because he isn’t cool enough. Although a friend’s opinion is important, no one should ever let it control them. It’s always important to be yourself. We hear that all the time but its pretty major to actually take that advice.
