Xander Summoned Sweet is my personal "demon eggs? Come on!" I feel I'm owed one. I mean, I swallowed Summers blood. (Not literally.)
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Thanks for all the fish.
Honestly, Xander would have copped to it as soon as he heard that people were combusting. I know what the show told us, I just can't believe it.

Even if you buy that it was Xander and that he should have copped to it, I have a hard time with him pestering Giles about how to stop it. He should not have been in that scene at all.
I'm going to have to assume he failed to make the connection until he saw the locket.

I believe he did do it and knew what he was trying to do. Just not what the consequences were. I find it weak though that he didn't think there would be any, considering the life he's led since the 10th grade.

It's especially weak after Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, how he talks about magic to Wil in Lover's Walk and speaking latin in front of the books. He damn well knows better.

And in BBB he goes to Giles as soon as he twigs that something odd is happening.

Sure, but it played into that "magic has consequences" comment of Spike's. Which came back and pretty much bit everyone in the ass one way or another.

And got his head taken off. Not that I like it any better than y'all. But he wasn't so much bugging Giles about stopping it as finding out if the incidents were connected. It is Sunnydale, after all - sometimes a neck erruption is just a neck erruption, sometimes its PCP.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What's always bothered me about it was that during the spell, people were being extra honest, and singing things they wouldn't normally say, and Xander said nothing. Then the spell is over, and poof, he suddenly tells the truth?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I've got a theory...
Seriously. I do.
It's occurred to me that not everyone sang everything that was on their mind. If anything, they sang the things they wanted to tell people, but for some reason couldn't. For example, Buffy having been in Heaven, or Spike confessing his feelings for Buffy. But when it comes to Giles, Buffy--mercifully--is oblivious to it, and Dawn sings alone, her cleptomania unrevealed. And then there's the case of Xander and Anya, and--for all the reasons they exclaim in "I'll Never Tell,"--they really don't tell the ones that ultimately end their impending marriage: Xander's fear of becoming his father, and Anya's fear that she doesn't have an identity of her own.
So, no, it doesn't make them spill everything.
