Well I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Buffy was a little less than the warrior of the light that she has been the last five years.  We have yet to see why the season premiere was entitled 'Bargaining'.  I think that name is a little more than unsettling when you think about it.  What exactly was bargained to bring Buffy back?  Does it have to do with Buffy or Willow? Or even both of them?  We already know Buffy's walking on a bit of a wildside right now, I mean she's having sex with a vampire, a soulless one no less this time.  That doesn't exactly make her the poster child for mental health.

As for the look in 'Wrecked', even though I was glad to finally have a Buffy/Willow moment, it certainly wasn't two sided.  Will was clinging to Buffy and Buffy looked like she could barely stand to touch her :(  Now later on in the bedroom she was a bit more sympathetic, but still, that whole scene in the alley bugged me a bit :(
