In this particular episode of Buffy, a demon’s attack leads her to experience hallucinations where she believes she’s confined in an insane asylum instead of being the ‘slayer.’

The scene opens with Buffy engaging in a confrontation with an individual, resulting in her pushing him down the stairs into the basement. In this basement setting, Willow (Alyson Hannigan) is found lying face-down on the floor. Her hands are tied behind her back with white rope, her feet are bound, and she’s gagged using a strip of duct tape. The scene features close-ups of this situation and effectively captures her attempts to communicate through muffled sounds. It becomes evident that Buffy’s hallucination has driven her to tie up Willow in this manner.

Later on, Buffy’s focus shifts to her sister, Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg). Following a struggle and physical confrontation, Buffy manages to subdue Dawn and takes her downstairs to the basement. Here, Dawn is already bound with ropes, her hands secured behind her back and her feet bound together. Buffy then tape gags Dawn on-screen as she lies face-up on the floor next to Willow, mirroring Willow’s earlier restraint. Both Willow and Dawn attempt to convey their distress through muted sounds (mmphhing) as Buffy releases a demon to confront the individual from the beginning of the scene.

Subsequently, it’s Tara who comes to their rescue. Employing a spell, Tara removes the thick white ropes binding Willow and Dawn’s hands and feet, though the tape gags oddly remain intact. Unfortunately, the scene concludes before depicting the removal of the tape gags.
