Episode 3: Witch

Summary

Buffy needs something normal in her life, so, much to Giles's horror, she auditions for the school's cheerleading squad. A series of unpleasant accidents disrupts the try-outs, leading to suspicions that a witch is using black magic to eliminate the competition. A girl under pressure from her former cheerleader mother seems the most likely suspect - but the truth is far stranger
