Two Xanders.
One life split in half.
And Anya caught in the middle.
In “The Replacement,” a demon’s spell creates two versions of Xander: one confident and capable, the other insecure and self-doubting. While the Scoobies scramble to figure out what’s going on, Xander has to literally face himself—and prove he’s more than just the comic relief. It’s one of the funniest, most heartfelt Xander-centric episodes of the series, with great Anya moments and a surprisingly moving conclusion.
