Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 19 “I Only Have Eyes For You” is a strange one — there is little evidence from their scenes that Xander and Cordy are dating (Xander asking Buffy if she has visions about him "knowing the love of a woman"!?), and the complete lack of Oz is starting to get distracting.
But... what started out as a lightweight, monster-of-the-week episode with an uneven tone (imagine an episode of Goosebumps that happened to include disturbing gun violence and self-unaliving... as well as an O.J. Simpson joke!!!) wound up being one of the most moving, brilliantly written episodes of the season. Did NOT see that coming!
