Bewitched, Bothered, & Bewildered
Not a great episode, but entertaining enough as Xander's Cordelia-intended love spell goes horribly awry. The early season Xander-centric episodes tried to rely too much on comic relief, I think.
I believe it's the second appearance for both Amy and Harmony, which is kind of fun in and of itself - I like the way the Whedonverse takes bit players, gives them a few more lines, then a few more lines, then, suddenly, they're central characters. Given hindsight, it was fun to watch Harmony get to play the queen bee for once - you know she reveled in it for the two days it lasted.
But speaking of who gets to be Queen Bee - if Cordelia's minions turned on her just for dating Xander, why would they not reject the girl with the hair straight from 1966?

Maybe there was some overreliance on humor in the early Xander episodes, maybe... But give him some credit for being able to pull off the silly-funny moments. Probably the best person in the cast for broad humor.
And I have to give this one a pass because it has one of my favorite sight gags: toward the end, Xander nails the wood plank across the door that opens outward from the basement. Love that.
