9. The Wish

Complete story — includes the ending

Willow attempts to repair things with Oz, but he tells her to leave him alone. Cordelia, heartbroken over Xander, meets Anya, who tries to help her move on. Anya gives Cordelia a necklace. After Cordelia says that she wishes Buffy had never come to Sunnydale, Anya turns into a demon, then vanishes, and Cordelia is transported to an alternative reality. Soon after, Cordelia learns that Sunnydale is overrun by vampires, as The Master has taken over Sunnydale. Cordelia tries to tell Giles, but Willow and Xander, now vampires, kill her. Giles recovers her necklace, and deduces that it belongs to Anyanka and that reality can be restored if Anyanka's power center is destroyed. Buffy, who was based in Cleveland, arrives after Giles attempts to contact her. Buffy goes to the Bronze, finding Angel chained up. She agrees to let him help her, and they go to a factory where The Master has automated blood extraction. In the ensuing fight, Angel, Willow, Xander, and Buffy are killed. Giles summons Anyanka, and destroys her amulet, returning reality to the moment that Cordelia expressed her wish. Anya is perplexed at being unable to grant wishes.
